Dan Patrick Celebrates 5th Year on Fox Sports Radio


On the heels of his 2012 NAB Marconi Award win for "Network/Syndicated Personality of the Year," FOX Sports Radio's Dan Patrick is celebrating his five-year anniversary with the network this month. Since launching in October, 2007, "The Dan Patrick Show" is now reaching 1.2 million weekly radio listeners on more than 250 affiliates. Produced by DIRECTV, the show is simulcast daily on DIRECTV's Audience Network.

Patrick stated on-air, "Five years ago today, we walked the plank and decided to do this show. We actually did it from the attic in my house, but we've grown up. We have two man caves now, the TV show in 100 million homes, and the radio show in 270 cities. There are a lot of people to thank."

"We are very excited to share in this celebration with Dan," said Premiere Networks Senior VP/Programming Don Martin. "The Dan Patrick Show is an integral part of the FOX Sports Radio line-up and we are proud to congratulate him on this special milestone. We look forward to another five great years!"
