Cumulus Media's Westwood One has announced it will distribute and sell a new podcast and weekend radio show with The McLaughlin Group. The podcast joins the Westwood One Podcast Network on November 1 and the radio show will debut the weekend of December 7-8. Political writer and commentator Tom Rogan hosts the series, alongside original panel members Pat Buchanan, Eleanor Clift and Clarence Page. A new generation of panelists will also join the group, providing conversations around politics, culture and foreign policy issues.

Rogan said, "I'm excited that we have joined the Westwood One family and will reach new audiences across the nation. Our panelists are friends who disagree, agreeably. Their intellectual camaraderie is needed now more than ever."

"We're proud to provide access to this legendary show as we gear up for what will certainly be one of the most heated election years in American history," added Cumulus Media EVP/Marketing and Westwood One President Suzanne Grimes. "The McLaughlin Group was a pioneer among political talk shows, and this distinguished iteration lead by Tom Rogan offers important commentary at a significant time."

Listeners can expect to hear content from the TV program as well as original bonus content in both the radio show and the podcast. The McLaughlin Group, produced by BL Sports & Media Group, returned to public television in September.
