Salem Communications Corporation announced today that
national talk radio star Sean Hannity will be joining its NewsTalk station in
Dallas, KSKY 660 AM The Answer, effective January 1st, 2014.
Hannity will be aired live from 2pm to 5pm CT.
Hannity will be aired live from 2pm to 5pm CT.
Hannity is the 2nd most listened to radio talk show host in America ,
heard daily on over 500 stations. He is also host of his own TV program seen
nightly at 10pm ET on the Fox News Channel. Hannity launched his nationally
syndicated radio show from WABC in New
York the day before 9/11 on about 50 stations, and
soon became the fastest growing nationally syndicated talk show in history.
"After 5 years I am finally re-joined with the monster
I helped create," said Salem Communications VP Director, Spoken Word
Format Phil Boyce. Boyce hired Hannity when he was the program director of WABC
in 1996, moved him into afternoon drive in 1998, and spearheaded his national
launch in 2001, before leaving WABC in 2008.
"When the opportunity arose to place Sean on one of our
top NewsTalk stations in Dallas ,
I had to ask the question 'are you kidding me?' 660 AM The Answer Dallas has
already substantially benefited from hiring the highly popular Mark Davis from
WBAP and Jon David Wells from KLIF. We anticipate continued strong audience
growth as we have experienced over the last year with the addition of Hannity
to our excellent line up of local and national hosts."
"This is going to be one of the best lineups in all of
talkradio, with Bill Bennett early mornings, Mark Davis 7 to 10am, Mike
Gallagher 10am to Noon, Dennis Prager Noon to 2pm, Hannity 2 to 5pm, and
Michael Medved 5 to 8pm," said Boyce. Jon David Wells, who has been
holding down the fort in the 2 to 5pm slot, will move to 8pm. "Jon David
has done a great job for us and I am delighted he will be staying with the
station."
