Bob Kingsley Inks Longterm Deal with Dial Global


Legendary Bob Kingsley inks a contract extension with syndicator Dial Global to extend their relationship through 2014. Under the terms of the deal, Dial Global will continue to represent "Bob Kingsley's Country Top 40," produced by Kingsley's KCCS Productions Inc. The show is heard by 11 million listeners weekly on over 350 affiliates.

"I'm thrilled to be renewing our partnership with Dial Global and taking CT40 forward," said Kingsley. "Counting down country's hits and sharing the artists' stories with our listeners is as exciting to me now as it's ever been. Even in these challenging times, what we do is resonating with country fans and country radio, and I'm happy to be part of it."

"I am extremely excited that Triton and Dial Global are extending their partnership with Bob Kingsley and the Country Top 40" added Triton Radio Networks CEO Spencer Brown. "Bob remains the preeminent national personality in Country Radio and his countdown will continue to provide Dial Global's clients with a terrific programming opportunity."

Kingsley, inducted into the Country Music DJ Hall of Fame in 1988, has also been named National Broadcast Personality of the Year by both the ACM and the CMA. His show has received Billboard's Network/Syndicated Program of the Year 16 times.
