DC Radio: Salem Picks-Up Sean Hannity for WWRC

Salem Communications announced Tuesday that it is adding talk radio host Sean Hannity to its lineup WWRC 1260 AM in Washington DC, effective January 1st, 2014.

Hannity, who began his national broadcast the day before 9/11 on crosstown Cumulus-owned WMAL 630 AM quickly, grew to become the fastest-growing syndicated talk rollout in history. Today, Hannity is the second most-listened-to radio talk show host in America with nearly 13 million weekly listeners and more than 500 affiliates. Hannity will air weekday afternoons live in the 3-6pm daypart.

"Sean Hannity is a perfect fit on 1260 WRC," said Salem Operations VP and market manager David Ruleman. "He is poised, informed and intelligent like the rest of the Salem lineup. In a city where opinion often trumps knowledge and irrational talk reigns, Washington DC radio listeners have a choice," said Ruleman: "Intelligent Talk. 1260 WRC."

"We are thrilled to partner with Salem and 1260 WRC," said Eric Stanger, VP of Operations for The Sean Hannity Show. "WRC is one of the premier news-talk destinations in Washington DC, and we couldn't be happier to join their leading lineup of intelligent talkers."
