Premiere Networks has announced that Michael Brown -- former Under Secretary of Homeland Security and Director of FEMA, and host of "The Situation with Michael Brown" on iHeartMedia's KHOW-AM/Denver -- is named the full-time host of the syndicated radio program "The Weekend." The three-hour Talk program can be heard on more than 300 stations, including markets such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Houston, Atlanta, Boston, Seattle, Phoenix, Denver and Portland.

"I couldn't be more thrilled to take the reins of The Weekend," said Brown. "When Premiere asked me to sign on full-time, it was a no brainer. I'm looking forward to furthering my connection with this nationwide audience each week. We're going to have a great time together as we go beyond the headlines to tackle the stories that matter most with honesty, smarts and a dose of fun."

"We're excited to enter this next chapter of The Weekend with a talent of Michael's caliber," added Premiere Networks President Julie Talbott. "His irreverent humor, intelligence and unique experience in politics are a perfect mix for our audience. We're confident he'll take The Weekend to a whole new level of success."
