Cumulus names radio and TV personality Leeann Tweeden as news anchor for the KABC-AM/Los Angeles morning show, "McIntyre in the Morning." Tweeden joins host Doug McIntyre and sportscaster Randy Wang weekdays from 5-10am. Previously, Tweeden co-hosted "LA Today with Roggin & Tweeden" on KLAC (AM570 LA Sports Radio). She is a frequent social and political commentator on television shows including: Hannity (FOX News), Dr. Drew (HLN), Red Eye (FOX News) and "Good Day L.A."

KABC Operations Director Drew Hayes said, "We are delighted to have Leeann sign on as the newest addition to the KABC on-air team. She is not only a bright, high energy, and plugged-in broadcaster, she brings a broad reservoir of life experiences. Leeann is a perfect fit for McIntyre in the Morning and the big-personality lineup of News. Talk. Evolved. 790 KABC."

McIntyre commented, "I'm thrilled Leeann is joining us on McIntyre in the Morning. She will lend a different vibe to the show, and is smart, funny, and patriotic, and brings a much-needed woman's perspective to the news of the day."

Tweeden said, "I am so happy to be joining KABC and McIntyre in the Morning. Sitting with Doug McIntyre and getting to be a part of his crew for five hours every day is going to be an adventure. I've been a sportscaster for much of my career, but I love politics and have deep attachments to our military -- and I'm a mom of two small kids. I'm ready for anything."
