Westwood One today announced it has signed a new multi-year agreement with Jim Bohannon to continue hosting  the award-winning Jim Bohannon Show and America in the Morning programs, collectively airing on more than 500 stations nationwide, including KLIF-AM/Dallas, WRKO-AM/Boston, KTAR-FM/ Phoenix, KKZN-AM/ Denver, and KDOW-AM, San Francisco.

Voted one of “The 100 Most Important Radio Talk Show Hosts in America” by Talkers Magazine three years in a row, Jim Bohannon is a member of the Radio Hall of Fame and winner of the RTDNA First Amendment Award, among many other honors.  He continues to engage and connect with listeners after more than 30 years on the air, a true testament to his wide appeal and storytelling relevance.

"I'm so pleased to have the honor of continuing my career with Westwood One, my home for over half my time in radio,” said Bohannon.  “Now that we’ve added reports from Westwood One News correspondents, ‘The Jim Bohannon Show’ and our news magazine ‘America in the Morning’ are about to enter their best days yet.  With all the challenges of the day, from partisan battles inside the beltway to the war on terror, I'm eager to keep the discussion going!"

Bart Tessler, Westwood One’s EVP News and Talk, adds “Jim may be in the Radio Hall of Fame but he’s just getting started. With new show resources and his contagious energy and enthusiasm, Westwood One and our affiliates and clients can look forward to many more years of Jim hosting his franchise programs.”
