Westwood One Announces Lifetime Extension for “The Mark Levin Show”

Popular Show Hosted by Mark Levin Renewed Through 2025

NEW YORK, NY, February 11, 2016—Westwood One announces that Mark Levin will continue his eponymous talk show for many years to come, as The Mark Levin Show has now been extended through 2025. Levin, one of the most important, popular, and trusted voices in radio, is always at the top of the political conversation. Indeed, his name has been invoked by candidates throughout the presidential primary process during the debates and at campaign rallies.

The Mark Levin Show — which not only covers the most critical events of the day, but delves into history, economics, philosophy, and the constitution — continues to be an enormous ratings and revenue winner for Westwood One and for the more than 300 stations that broadcast the show, including

WABC-AM/New York; KRLA-AM/Los Angeles; WLS-AM/Chicago; KSFO-AM/San Francisco; WBAP-AM/Dallas; KTRH-AM/Houston; WMAL-AM/Washington, DC; WJR-AM/Detroit; and WNTP-AM/Philadelphia.  

Levin said, “I could not be more pleased to extend my radio partnership with Cumulus/Westwood One.

For the next nine years — an unprecedented long-term relationship in the broadcasting industry — I am committed to continuing to bring the best possible program, both substantive and entertaining, to my millions of beloved and loyal listeners each and every day.

What does this mean? In short, when Chelsea Clinton and some Bush progeny somewhere are running for president in 2024… they will have to get by Mark Levin first.

I will love every minute of it as I listen from the nursing home.

But seriously?

Mark Levin has been a conservative champion literally from his teenage years. He is the Yoda of conservatism, the man whose books and writings on the Constitution have inspired millions… and has breathed new life into what liberals despise as an old and irrelevant document and doctrine.

God Bless Westwood One and God Bless Mark Levin.

To borrow a phrase? “That’s right! I said it.”

Now get back to work all of you big dopes!
