RADIO ONLINE | Tuesday, January 10, 2017 |
Westwood One inks a new multi-year agreement with Jim Bohannon to continue hosting "The Jim Bohannon Show," now in its 33rd year and airing on more than 250 stations nationwide. As part of his renewal, Westwood One is launching a new Jim Bohannon podcast and Best of Bohannon program, which will air on affiliates including WLS-AM/Chicago, WBAP-AM/Dallas, KXL-FM/Portland and WTMJ-AM/Milwaukee.
Bohannon has also been selected to be one of the live crowd announcers for the Inaugural Parade in Washington, DC on January 20. He will be introducing and describing the participating organizations to the throngs gathered along his location on Pennsylvania Avenue.
"I'm delighted and honored to continue working with Westwood One," said Bohannon. "It's especially gratifying now that the New Year finds me reaching even more stations with the weekly 'Best of Bohannon' broadcast. Here's to a fantastic 2017."
"Jim Bohannon is a rare treasure in our business," said Westwood One President Cumulus EVP/Corporate Marketing Suzanne Grimes. "The longer he's on the air, the stronger the delivery to our stations, to our listeners, and to our advertisers. It's an honor to work with a radio Hall of Famer still in the prime of his career."
