Some of the many influential news, talk, and information stations clearing Westwood One News include WABC/NY, WINS/NY, KABC/LA, WLS/Chicago, KGO and KSFO/ San Francisco, WBAP and KLIF/ Dallas, KYW/Philadelphia, WBZ/Boston, WMAL/ DC, WYAY, Atlanta, WNEW-FM/ DC, WJR/Detroit, and KPAM/Portland, OR.
Bart Tessler, Westwood One’s EVP News & Talk, said, “As the trades have noted, from our exclusive reporting from Tehran to Havana, and our coverage from France, the Mideast and across the U.S., we’re proud of the programming we have provided to our affiliates in the first 100 days of Westwood One News and we are very gratified by the feedback.”
“We are proud to be bringing the news from around the world to stations in an innovative manner,” added Dennis Green, SVP, Affiliate Sales. “In a short period of time, over 700 stations have joined our growing network and can now provide their listeners with news that offers greater flexibility than any other national radio new network. The future truly is now, and we look forward to welcoming more stations in the next 100 days and beyond!”
