Cumulus taps a new slate of co-hosts to join morning host Larry O'Connor on News/Talk WMAL-FM in Washington, DC. Amber Athey, Washington Editor at The Spectator; Julie Gunlock, Director of the Center for Progress and Innovation at Independent Women's Forum; and Patrice Onwuka, political commentator and Director of the Center for Economic Opportunity at the Independent Women's Forum debuted Tuesday on "O'Connor and Company," weekdays from 5-9am.
WMAL Program Director Bill Hess said, "We are excited to welcome these fresh voices to WMAL. Their varied life experiences, chemistry with Larry and with each other, and opinions on the issues of the day serve to create compelling content each weekday morning."
O'Connor commented, "Having a daily conversation with Julie, Amber and Patrice about what matters most to the people of our community is an absolute pleasure. From the halls of the Capitol to the vital debates at our local school boards, these intelligent and engaging women bring insights and humor that represent the best of Washington. It's a genuine honor to team up with them every morning on WMAL."
O'Connor made the move back to morning drive -- a slot he filled on WMAL from 2012-16 -- after spending five years in afternoon drive.
