iHeartMedia has added the Premiere Networks-syndicated The Fred Show to mornings on WIHT and WZFT, beginning Thursday, April 30. The program will air weekdays from 6-10am and will also be available on demand. The move expands the show's reach into the Washington, DC and Baltimore markets.

Originally debuting in 2011, The Fred Show features host Fred alongside cast members Kaelin, Keke, Paulina, Showbiz Shelly and Jason Brown. The program blends humor and lifestyle content, built around the ensemble's on-air chemistry.

Fred said the addition marks a significant milestone for the show, calling the opportunity to join stations in Washington and Baltimore "an honor" given their history of notable on-air talent.

Jeff Kapugi, Region Senior Vice President of Programming for iHeartMedia, said the company has long followed the show and expects it to resonate with listeners on both stations.

Veteran morning host Rose will remain part of mornings on Hot 99.5 and Z104.3 alongside The Fred Show.
