The Fred Show

Premiere Networks adds "The Fred Show" to its syndicated radio lineup. Effective immediately, the popular long-running iHeartMedia Chicago radio show will be available to CHR stations as a five-hour morning show. Originating from WKSC-FM (103.5 Kiss FM) in Chicago, "The Fred Show" will continue to feature host Fred and his unique cast of characters, including Kaelin, Rufio, Paulina, Showbiz Shelly, Jason Brown and Keke. The program will remain in the 5-10am CT weekday timeslot on 103.5 KISS FM.

"I'm incredibly grateful to introduce our show to cities across the country," said Fred. "We have built a community in Chicago and are excited to welcome the entire nation to our family. Thanks to Julie Talbott and Jennifer Leimgruber at Premiere for their belief in us, in addition to my amazing leaders at iHeart, including Bob Pittman, Tom Poleman, Brad Hardin, Thea Mitchem, Dennis Clark and James Howard. Let's go."

"Fred and his team are a talented group," added Premiere Networks President Julie Talbott. "They have the 'it factor' we're always looking for. Not only are they passionate, hardworking, and incredibly funny, but they also have multiplatform appeal and produce valuable results for their partners. We couldn't be more excited to offer a program of this caliber to audiences across the country."
