Westwood One Names Vince Coglianese To Succeed Dan Bongino.
Inside Radio ^ | March 4, 2025 | Westwood One

Posted on 03/04/2025 12:55:40 PM PST by iontheball

Vince Coglianese will succeed Dan Bongino on the Westwood One national schedule from 12-3pm (ET). Coglianese, afternoon host on Cumulus Media news/talk WMAL Washington DC (105.9), will debut “The Vince Show” on Monday, March 17, replacing Bongino, who was named Deputy Director of the FBI last week.

The Cumulus Podcast Network will distribute a one-hour podcast, “Vince,” produced by Bongino’s Silverloch Productions and drop each weekday morning.

“Vince’s star has been on the rise, and we’re thrilled to welcome him to the unparalleled Westwood One platform to expand his reach even further,” Collin Jones, President of Westwood One and EVP, Corporate Strategy and Development for Cumulus Media, said in a release. “Vince’s unparalleled ability to combine realism with sharp political insight makes him the ideal host to captivate audiences across both live radio and podcasting. The Vince Show and Vince podcast will quickly become cornerstones of our industry-leading conservative talk lineup.”

This is tremendous news. Vince Conglianese will be taking Dan Bongino's 12-3 p.m radio slot. Vince is a super radio announcer. Everyone should love the guy. I have listened to him for years on WMAL. He has hosted his own radio show on WMAL (3-5 p.m) in the Nations Capital. This is his first opportunity to go national in the coveted 1-3 p.m. time slot. The original founder, Rush Limbaugh's 12-3 radio slot will continue to be in fine conservative hands with Vince Coglianese.

That’s fine for a couple of years. I just downloaded all of Bongino’s shows, in anticipation of them being removed from Iheartradio app.

I do hope to listen to them.

I’m a “p-1” Been listening to Bongino since before he had a show when he would sub for Levin. I’ve probably listened to more than 95% of his shows. One criticism of Dan: the foul language debuted about 4 years ago or so. Our culture is quite debased enough without conservatives broadcasting foul language including f bombs. When referenced he’d say he’s a Queens guy, working on it, can’t help it. But he got by without it for the first six years, and it’s been notable by its absence the last few weeks while he was being considered for, and got, his gig

Dan should just do what the Fed Gov workers and part time animators at the NOAA did. Just pay himself an additional $3 million and continue the podcast under the guise of “education”.

Dan announced that in his podcast this morning. I was hoping for someone a little more animated like Benny Johnson.

I thought it might be Chris Plante, but Vince is also a good WMAL choice.

(Me: not offended by language)

But did not Dan confine any foul language to the first hour podcast? Not on the radio show. (FCC regs and all)

Heck, even Megyn Kelly gets more than a little salty at times. She is pretty good

I think Dan did a more than creditable job filling in for and ultimately replacing Rush.

You mean Benny Johnson? I never noticed that about his speech.

The one I cannot tolerate when it comes to his phrasing is Chris Plante. (I’m old, too - LOL!) He’s a good guy, and has great info, but I can’t listen.

Me too. However Chris Plante has his Newsmax show. That might be hard to get out of.

Plante teased some stuff last week but for some reason I thought it would be Vince.
