Salem Radio Network, Hugh Hewitt Ink Contract Extension
RADIO ONLINE | Monday, March 23, 2020 |
Salem Radio Network talk host Hugh Hewitt has agreed to terms on a contract extension, keeping him on the air through December, 2028. He's been broadcasting for Salem since July, 2000 and currently airs his national program from 6-9am ET. Hewitt's national footprint has grown to over 450 affiliates across the country, and is also seen on video simulcast on Townhall.com. He also appears regularly on NBC News programs like "Meet the Press," and is a regular contributor to the Washington Post.
"I look forward to not only this fall's presidential election but the next two presidential campaigns and all the news in between them as well," said Hewitt. "The past 20 years have been two decades of upheaval and crisis, a sudden devastating attack on America, of war and terror and now a pandemic, of hard fought elections and massive legislative and legal changes. It's been a privilege to cover these breaking news events for three hours a day with the extraordinary team and guest list we have assembled and rely upon."
"Hugh has been a Salem stalwart since 2000," added Salem Media Group CEO Ed Atsinger. "He's one of the most respected voices in American media today, and as Salem continues to grow our national and international footprint, Hugh's program remains a flagship show for the news/talk format which Salem helped pioneer."
