Salem Communications Corporation has announced the addition of Mark Levin to its weekday lineup, live from 3pm to 6pm beginning Tuesday, February 3, 2015 on KRLA 870 AM /The Answer in Los Angeles.

Hugh Hewitt who airs in that slot will move into the 6pm to 9pm slot.

"Rarely do you have the chance to add somebody of Mark's quality in market #2, and we decided it was an opportunity we could not pass up," said Salem SVP of Spoken Word Format Phil Boyce. "Hugh Hewitt is also a class act so running these two back to back makes this lineup even stronger."

Levin is syndicated by Westwood One and Hewitt is syndicated by the Salem Radio Network. The AM 870 The Answer lineup will now be The Morning Answer with Brian Whitman, Ben Shapiro and Elisha Krauss starting the day 6-9am, Dennis Prager from 9am to Noon, Michael Medved from Noon to 3pm, followed by Levin, Hewitt, and Mike Gallagher 9pm to Midnight.

Chuck Tyler, Director of Programming at KRLA said, "Getting Mark Levin has been on my bucket list for years. What a team!"

Mark Levin stated, "It's an honor to join the wonderful lineup at KRLA. I know my great listeners, who include two of my biggest fans in the LA area (my kids, who live and work there!) will appreciate hearing the show LIVE, too!"

Levin was previously heard on Cumulus' KABC 790 AM evenings 6p to 9pm.

In addition to hosting his radio show, Mark Levin is an attorney who serves as president of the Landmark Legal Foundation and is also a best-selling author.
