Cumulus Media announced on July 29, 2015 that it has re-signed long-running Buffalo morning team Ted Shredd and Tom Ragan to The Edge WEDG 103.3 FM. The Shredd and Ragan Show is a four-hour comedy talk radio morning show based in Buffalo, NY broadcasting to Western New York and Southern Ontario, heard on 103.3 The Edge weekday mornings.

Beginning in 1994, Shredd and Ragan made an immediate impact on the Buffalo broadcasting landscape. Their success was felt so strongly in Western New York that when the format and station name were changed, Shredd and Ragan remained the cornerstone for the brand new 103.3 The Edge, Buffalo’s New Rock Alternative.

Over the past 20 years, the station format has been altered to better serve the community with Shredd and Ragan, and throughout, the show has remained among the most successful rock/alternative morning shows in the U.S., with consistently dominant ratings throughout Western New York and a loyal fan base. The Shredd and Ragan Show has received numerous industry awards and accolades throughout its continued and historic run.

Troy Hanson, Corporate Programming/Rock Formats for Cumulus said: “We are delighted to extend our longtime working relationship with Shredd and Ragan into a new long term deal that continues to partner two great brands—Shredd and Ragan, and Buffalo’s Premiere Alternative Rock Radio station WEDG – The Edge. Ted, Tom and their crew (Jim Jacka and Josh Potter) are top notch at covering the pulse of all things Buffalo and Western New York. We couldn’t be more proud of them.”

Shredd said: “It's not just a great time to be in Buffalo. It's a great time to be a part of Buffalo! Over the last 20 years The Edge has evolved into a big part of Western New York life. To be a part of that for the entire time, and into the future, is a great honor.”

Ragan said: “We’re fired up to be able to continue to call the Edge home. I'm fortunate to be a part of this great team, and we’re so proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish and looking forward to where the Edge is headed in Buffalo.”
