O'Meara will be joined by his longtime WJFK and, later,
mikeomearashow.com podcast crew of Robb Spewak, Buzz Burbank, and Oscar
Santana.
"The success of their podcast was a significant factor
in their return to the airwaves, along with the amazing loyalty of their many
listeners," according to a Tuesday press release from O'Meara's camp.
"Those listeners have, in equally impressive numbers, demonstrated their
loyalty by spending heavily with Mike O'Meara show advertisers."
One of the show's advertisers, Oncor Insurance, has agreed
to underwrite the broadcast's production costs, and continues to underwrite the
show's special projects, including the recent, sold-out live stage show at
Circus-Circus in Reno.
Metro Radio CEO Dave Houston said, "We are truly
excited to acquire such a popular and successful show. We see it as a fresh,
new addition to our lineup."
O'Meara fills the space formerly occupied by Michael Savage,
who stopped airing on WTNT after his TRN syndication deal ended earlier this
fall. O'Meara's last DC area radio gig, doing mornings at classic rocker 105.9
The Edge, ended in September 2011, when that station flipped to a simulcast of
news talker WMAL.
Thought Robb was in Iowa doing Farm reports?
