Dan Bongino is set to resume his syndicated talk radio show with Westwood One in early February 2026.
The conservative commentator, who stepped away from his program in March 2025 to serve as FBI Deputy Director, confirmed the comeback during a recent interview, stating the show will return as a two-hour live broadcast airing from 10 a.m. to noon ET—a shift from its previous 12-3 p.m. ET slot.
Westwood One has not confirmed the new show. A joint press release from Westwood One and Rumble is expected soon to announce the exact launch date.
Bongino expressed excitement about his return, noting he has "a lot of stuff to talk about" from his time in government (while avoiding classified details) and is already preparing content for the debut episode.
The move follows his departure from the FBI earlier this month, after nearly a year in the role under Director Kash Patel. His former time slot was filled by Vince Coglianese, whose show currently occupies the afternoon hours.
This return is driven by his built-in audience loyalty after nearly a year away, with fans eagerly anticipating his insights—especially given his recent insider FBI experience. Westwood One appears eager to bring him back, despite lineup adjustments (e.g., The Chris Plante Show remains in the 9 AM-noon window, and Vince Coglianese's show continues in the afternoon slot Bongino previously held).
Note: While initial reports focused on a full syndicated radio comeback, some industry sources suggested a possible digital/podcast-only focus with Westwood One handling ad sales—but the majority of coverage, including direct quotes from Bongino, points to a syndicated radio component alongside podcast and Rumble video.
Overall, this marks Bongino's swift return to conservative talk media after public service, capitalizing on heightened interest in his post-FBI perspective amid ongoing political discussions. Fans can expect a mix of political commentary, interviews, and listener interaction in the revamped format. Stay tuned for the official launch details!
