As its new de-localized lineup takes effect today, Cumulus Media Conservative Talk 790 KABC Los Angeles is adding a pair of podcasts from Cumulus’ Westwood One Podcast Network to the station’s daily lineup.
Author and former Secret Service and NYPD officer Dan Bongino will air in the 6pm hour, while suspense author turned conservative commentator Andrew Klavan will be heard in the 9pm hour. Klavan’s father, Gene Klavan was morning host at 1130 WNEW New York from 1952-1977.
Cumulus attempted a similar roll-out for now national afternoon host Ben Shapiro in 2018, placing his daily podcast in a one hour slot before expanding.
CUMULUS MEDIA’s KABC 790 in Los Angeles, CA, announces the debut today of two news/talk programs to the station’s bolstered weekday lineup for 2020.
