Dan Bongino

Westwood One has announced the launch of "The Dan Bongino Show," a new three-hour radio program airing weekdays from 12-3pm ET. The news and opinion show will launch May 24 in all U.S. markets, including Cumulus Media's News stations in the top ten markets of New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco and Washington DC.

The show will tackle the hot political issues, debunking both liberal and Republican establishment rhetoric. As a former Secret Service agent and NYPD officer, Bongino is positioned to provide commentary and analysis that directly questions the philosophical underpinnings of both the Left and Big Government Republicans.

With the launch of "The Dan Bongino Show," Westwood One now offers a 24-hour, Monday-Friday News/Talk lineup that also features established News/Talk talk hosts Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro, Chris Plante and Jim Bohannon.

Bongino has attracted an impressive and loyal following since he left the Secret Service in 2011 and became a media personality. Over the past 10 years, he has earned a spot on The New York Times' bestseller list several times and has joined FOX News as a commentator.

"I'm excited to embrace the immense power of radio to connect with my listeners live for three hours every day," said Bongino. "This is an incredible privilege, and I pledge to honor the trailblazing work of those who came before me."

"Dan is passionate and relatable, with a natural ability to connect with his audience," said Suzanne Grimes, President, Westwood One and EVP Corporate Marketing, Cumulus Media. "Dan has been on a meteoric rise since his podcast launched in 2019, and we look forward to watching his star continue to soar."
