Salem Network talk host Michael Medved and the network have reached agreement on an extension of his current syndication deal through the end of 2018.  The Michael Medved Show airs from 3 to 6pm ET and is heard on more than 300 stations nationwide.

"I feel unbounded enthusiasm and gratitude at the prospect of three more years to connect with the most wonderful and engaged audience in talk radio," said Mr. Medved. "Especially after my recovery from throat cancer, the ability to speak to people about the issues that matter most is a gift that I cherish - and never take for granted."  Medved added:  "I know that the prayers and good wishes of literally hundreds of thousands of listeners have helped make possible my super-energized return. We'll be sharing exciting and significant times in the months ahead."

Medved is a national columnist, and best-selling author.  His recent books include The 10 Big Lies About America, Hollywood vs. America, and Right Turns.  His 13th book, God's Hand on America is scheduled for publication in 2016. He is also a noted movie critic and served for 12 years as co-host of "Sneak Previews" on PBS TV.

"Michael's radio program is a great example of intelligence and common sense," said Salem Radio Network Senior Vice President Phil Boyce.

"We are delighted to announce this program will be continuing, allowing Michael to entertain and inform his hundreds of thousands of fans for many years to come."  Boyce added, "Michael has overcome great odds this year, and extending his deal with us is a great reward for his heart, persistence and hard work. Michael has logged 18 consistently successful years with Salem, and this deal means we'll continue to provide stations across the country with one of the most entertaining, provocative and popular shows on the air."
