iHeartMedia has announced it has signed Ellen K to a multi-year contract extension to continue hosting “The Ellen K Morning Show” on AC 103.5 KOST Los Angeles.

Ellen K will also continue with her “Ellen K Weekend Show” that airs on 48 iHeart AC stations across the country. She has been a staple of mornings in Los Angeles since 1990 first as part of the morning shows with Rick Dees and Ryan Seacrest at CHR 102.7 KIIS-FM before moving to KOST in October 2015.

She said, “I love EVERYTHING about morning radio — from the listeners to our KOST team to the advertising partners. Our connection with listeners is stronger than ever, from the morning show to the weekend show and our new ‘Therapy Thursday’ podcast, I’m incredibly proud of everything we’ve built together through hard work and creative content but most importantly always finding the positive in whatever situation arises. I am very excited to see what’s next and to be part of the iHeart family for years to come.”

iHeartMedia Regional President Paul Corvino said, “Ellen has built one of the most successful and enduring morning shows in the country. Her remarkable ability to connect with listeners, combined with her infectious energy and unmistakable voice, has made her one of LA’s most beloved personalities. We are thrilled she’ll continue to wake up Southern California each morning with her authentic style and relatable approach, entertaining and connecting with listeners.”
