Cox Media Group/Atlanta inks Erick Erickson to a contract renewal to continue hosting his talk show for three more years on WSB-AM and WSBB-FM, weekdays from 12-3pm ET. He's been on-air with 95.5 WSB for 12 years, moving from weekends to evenings to afternoons before settling in the current midday timeslot. His program is currently heard on other CMG stations, including WDBO/Orlando, WGAU/Athens GA), KRMG/Tulsa, WOKV/Jacksonville and WHIO/Dayton.

"For more than a decade, Erick has done a great job of entertaining and informing the WSB audience about the biggest news stories of the day," said 95.5 WSB Director of Branding and Programming Ken Charles. "I'm proud we'll continue our partnership for another three years, and I'm excited about what new things we can create moving forward. The best is yet to come."

"95.5 WSB is not just home, it's the gold standard of talk radio, with incredible leadership from Ken Charles and Jaleigh Long," added Erickson. "I fell into the role by accident 12 years ago. It's not just the longest job I've had, it's three hours of joy every day working with the best people in radio. I simply cannot imagine doing anything else anywhere else with any team other than the hard-working talent at 95.5 WSB."

"Erick is an exceptionally rare talent, and we are thrilled that he'll continue to be a huge part of 95.5 WSB for years to come," said CMG Atlanta Radio Vice President and Market Manager Jaleigh Long.
