Westwood One Takes Kevin & Bean Show Nationwide


Westwood One inks KROQ-FM/Los Angeles morning hosts Kevin & Bean to a national distribution deal, effective May 11. Kevin & Bean, along with their zany antics, have been one of Southern California's top-rated morning shows for more than two decades on flagship KROQ-FM.

"The Kevin & Bean show is one of the strongest and engaging programs on radio," said Westwood One Senior VP/Entertainment Max Krasny. "We are thrilled to partner with KROQ and bring the Kevin and Bean show to listeners across America. This program will be a tremendous value for our affiliates, advertisers, and listeners across the country."

"The Kevin and Bean show on The World Famous KROQ has consistently been one of the top rated morning shows in Los Angeles for fifteen plus years," said CBS Radio Senior VP/Programming Kevin Weatherly. "Now it's time to unleash them on the rest of the country."

"We never got to do a morning show in places like Fresno and Reno on the way up so we are thrilled to have the chance on the way down," said Bean. "What? Nobody told me anything about this," added Kevin.
