Talk WRKO-AM/Boston has announced a new programming lineup that includes Grace Curley (pictured) and Jesse Kelly. Effective January 4, Curley will air weekday afternoons from 12:15-3pm and "The Jesse Kelly Show" will be heard from 10pm-1am. "The Jesse Kelly Show" will segue to 7-10pm as of Monday, February 15.

"The Grace Curley Show," hosted by the executive producer of the Boston-based "Howie Carr Show" and a Boston Herald contributing columnist, is a conservative caller-driven talk show. During the new program, Curley will discuss the latest pop culture and political headlines, lending her millennial perspective to each topic.

"I am ecstatic for this huge opportunity to host a Talk radio show and offer my perspective on politics, pop culture and more," said Curley. "Over the last six years, I've been mentored by one of the best in the business, and I look forward to putting the skills I've learned from Howie Carr to the test and creating a show that is interesting, unique and entertaining."

Jesse Kelly, U.S. Marine, former candidate for Congress and fresh conservative voice will serve as host of "The Jesse Kelly Show." From history to politics to pizza, the program puts it all out there for listeners in a no-nonsense, down-to-earth way that offers something for everyone.

"Everyone in radio knows about the greatness of WRKO and wants to be there," said Kelly. "I'm honored to be here. And I'm sure they're honored to have me since I'm such a huge important celebrity with a superior brain and community college credits."

"We're excited about the addition of Grace and Jesse to WRKO's lineup. Their talents complement the established success of Jeff Kuhner in the Morning and the legendary Howie Carr in Afternoons," commented iHeartMedia Boston VP of News, Talk and Sports Rob Sanchez.
