Ben Shapiro Is Finally Getting A Radio Show!

This is really exciting news for Ben Shapiro (and conservatives everywhere). He’s finally getting his own SYNDICATED radio show!

On Thursday, Westwood One announced that it was joining with The Daily Wire to bring The Ben Shapiro Show, the most-listened to conservative podcast in America, to radio syndication in five of the biggest markets in the country, among others. Those markets will include, iconic WABC/New York City, as well as KABC/Los Angeles, WLS/ Chicago, WMAL/Washington D.C.; WYAY/Atlanta, KKTH/Seattle, and KKAT/Salt Lake City.

This is HUGE. I’m really excited, because while podcasts are great, they really only draw in listeners who WANT to listen to the show. Radio is a different ball game. There’s no telling how many people will stumble upon his show, tune in and realize they’re actually common sense conservatives too.

The show premieres Monday, April 2, and advertising is already SOLD OUT.

Shapiro said, “The Daily Wire and Westwood One are doing something unprecedented: we’re launching the first podcast-to-talk radio transition ever. And we’re doing it in 5 of the top 10 DMA markets in the country, which is amazing in and of itself — no show launches with this constellation of stations. We already have an enormous digital audience, and we can’t wait to extend that audience to more traditional platforms.”

It’s super exciting.

Shapiro said he doesn’t see himself competing with personalities like Rush Limbaugh and Hannity. (You all know Rush Limbaugh is my absolute FAV. I’m a Rush Baby!)

“If I’m known as the up-and-coming young conservative, at a certain point I’m going to age out of that, right? I can’t be 34 my entire life,” Shapiro told Politico. “Being in a place where I’m seen as a leading voice of conservatism generally, not just for young conservatives is certainly something I’d like.”

“I’m hoping that it actually has a marked impact on how conservatives think across the country,” he added. “Because there is a pretty large gap right now between young conservatives and older conservatives on issues up to and including the administration.”

Suzanne Grimes, EVP Marketing, Cumulus Media and President, Westwood One., added, “Ben’s wildly successful podcast delivers a fresh voice to a new generation of millennial conservatives and we are excited to take this provocative narrative to syndicated radio. As America’s largest audio network, we are putting our full weight behind the show to connect Ben with millions of new listeners across podcast, radio, and streaming platforms.”

More messages of liberty are hitting the radio waves. HECK YEAH! Congrats to Shapiro!
