RADIO ONLINE | Friday, October 1, 2010

Westwood One will debut "The Robert Wuhl Show" in January. Hosted by Robert Wuhl, best known for his role as sports super-agent Arliss Michaels on HBO and the reporter Knox in "Batman," is a new Sports/Talk program with a comedic twist. The three-hour daily show will air from 3-6pm from the Westwood One studios.

"This marks the first step in Westwood One's renewed focus on original programming for radio," said Westwood One Founder Norman Pattiz. "Robert Wuhl's unique talent, humor and passion for sports, plus a digital rolodex that includes every sports figure and fan on the planet, will make The Robert Wuhl Show an experience like no other. Big time fun is coming to sports talk."

"This opportunity combines all of my passions from sports, entertainment, media and interviews," added Wuhl. "I come at this from a completely different perspective because, as far as I know, I am the only host in the history of sports talk radio that doesn't vote for the Heisman Trophy, but does vote for the Academy Award."

"Besides being one of the funniest comedians and writers in Hollywood, Wuhl is a gifted communicator and virtual sports encyclopedia," said Westwood One Senior VP News & Talk Programming Bart Tessler. "His amazing wit and uncanny ability to connect with an audience makes Wuhl perfect for radio."
