CMLS Cumulus Media Inc

Cumulus Media (NASDAQ: CMLS) announces The VINCE Show and VINCE podcast will launch on March 17. Westwood One will syndicate the all-new live radio broadcast hosted by Vince Coglianese, popular Washington, DC-based radio host on WMAL-FM, Editorial Director of the conservative daily news publication, The Daily Caller, and frequent guest host of The Dan Bongino Show. Silverloch Productions, founded by Dan and Paula Bongino, will produce the VINCE podcast to be distributed by the Cumulus Podcast Network. The new radio show will air weekdays from 12 to 3 p.m. ET with the 1-hour podcast dropping prior on weekday mornings.

The VINCE Show and VINCE podcast are set to redefine conservative talk with their compelling mix of Vince's signature blend of insight into and knowledge of the inner workings of Washington, DC, in-depth interviews, and live caller interactions. Vince's authenticity and relatability ensure that every discussion is both engaging and thought-provoking, creating a vibrant community of informed listeners who have a front-row seat to the most important conversations of the day.

The VINCE Show will launch on Westwood One with over 250 affiliates, including top market stations KABC-AM (Los Angeles), WLS-AM (Chicago), WBAP-AM (Dallas), KSFO-AM (San Francisco), WMAL-FM (Washington, DC), and KCMO-AM/FM (Kansas City). Cumulus Podcast Network will handle the distribution, sales, and marketing for the VINCE podcast, as part of Silverloch’s wider portfolio of podcasts.

With nearly two decades of experience in conservative journalism and broadcasting, Vince has become a trusted voice in the industry. His tenure at WMAL’s Mornings on the Mall saw the show reach number one in the DC market and his current show, The Vince Coglianese Show, continues to captivate audiences with its refreshing take on the day’s biggest stories. Additionally, Vince frequently fills in as guest host on The Dan Bongino Show and makes regular appearances on some of today’s most popular conservative television news shows. His ability to connect with listeners and guests alike has earned Vince a spot among Talkers Magazine’s “Heavy Hundred: list of the most important radio talk show hosts in America.”

"I am beyond thrilled to be stepping into this role with Westwood One and Silverloch and can't thank my WMAL family in Washington enough for the 8 incredible years we've already spent together. I also want to offer a special thank you to Dan Bongino for selflessly returning to service for his country. His decency and sacrifice are a true testament to his character,” said Coglianese. Adding, "Now we take things to the next level. I'm deeply conscious of the history-making legacies of these broadcasts, which is why we will be delivering the ultimate 3-hour live radio show and 1-hour podcast for the millions of Americans who demand the truth. I promise this will be the most entertaining, informative, and efficient way to equip yourself in the golden age of America. I can't wait for March 17th, and I hope you'll join me." 

“Vince’s star has been on the rise, and we’re thrilled to welcome him to the unparalleled Westwood One platform to expand his reach even further,” said Collin Jones, President of Westwood One and EVP, Corporate Strategy and Development for Cumulus Media. “Vince’s unparalleled ability to combine realism with sharp political insight makes him the ideal host to captivate audiences across both live radio and podcasting. The VINCE Show and VINCE podcast will quickly become cornerstones of our industry-leading conservative talk lineup.”

“Vince brings a fresh and engaging perspective to conservative talk radio, and I am thrilled to see him join our portfolio and the Westwood One lineup,” said Paula Bongino. “As my husband Dan embarks on his new role as Deputy Director of the FBI, we are both confident Vince’s ability to connect with listeners and tackle important issues with both passion and clarity will guide the future of conservative media.”

Westwood One has a storied history in broadcasting, known for its commitment to delivering high-quality conservative talk radio. The addition of The VINCE Show continues this legacy, promising to bring fresh perspectives and lively discussions to listeners across the nation.
