As Cumulus Media prepares to debut its new Dan Bongino Show in the 12-3pm weekday timeslot on Monday, May 24, the company has begun signing new affiliates for the show.
Federated Media News/Talk 1190 WOWO/107.5 W298BJ Fort Wayne and “95.3 MNC” WTRC-FM Niles MI/South Bend IN will be among the launch affiliates for Bongino’s show. At both stations Bongino will replace Rush Limbaugh in the 12-3pm timeslot.
In an announcement on their respective station websites, WOWO Program Director Mike Ragz wrote, “We are excited to start a new era on WOWO. Dan has been the most-requested host to take over for Rush, based on a listener survey, so we are happy to partner with Dan and make it happen,” while WTRC-FM’s Jon Zimney said, “We conducted a survey of our listeners this spring and the interest and support to have Dan Bongino join our line-up was overwhelming. Dan’s program is certain to be destination listening during these unprecedented times.
The duo join Resort Broadcasting’s 92.7 WGMD-FM Rehoboth Beach DE as non-Cumulus Media owned stations carrying Bongino at launch.
