Envision Networks inks a deal with iHeartMedia to bring "The John and Leah Show" to five new stations in the Birmingham, AL, area including WERC-AM, WERC-FM, WAAX-AM, WDAK-AM and WRTR-FM. The live Sunday night talk program offers a look at the week's news focusing on media, politics, sports and pop culture. With the new affiliates, the Envision Talk Network now reaches over 150 stations.
Each week, hosts John Ziegler and Leah Brandon bring you the final word on the week's events and first thoughts on the week to come. Brandon currently works as a morning news anchor at Newsradio 1055 WERC in Birmingham. She started out as an air talent in Roanoke, VA and then came to Los Angeles where she began her radio voiceover imaging career.
Ziegler has been either in the media, or criticizing it, for a quarter century. His career began in Steubenville, OH, as a sportscaster and reporter with an NBC affiliate. He made the switch to talk radio as an evening host at WWTN-FM/Nashville and went on to work at a number of other outlets. Eventually he wound up at KFI-AM/Los Angeles, where he and Brandon first worked together. After four years at the station, Ziegler opted to leave talk radio to produce documentary films and only recently returned to host his syndicated show.
