Celebrated conservative radio talker Mark Levin has cut a long-term extension with Westwood One-Cumulus, meaning one of the nation’s most influential talk show hosts will be on the air for another five years, well past the upcoming 2016 presidential election.
Westwood One announced the contract extension for “The Mark Levin Show” through 2020 Thursday morning. They called Levin, a legal scholar who also runs Landmark Legal Foundation, “one of the most trusted voices in radio.” Five-year contracts are rare in the media.
Levin started on radio in 2002 and his current show was launched on WABC in New York. He now reaches over 7 million listeners on 300 stations, making him one of the handful of talk radio kings along with Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck.

Thanks, Mark
Now PLEASE get yourself an affiliate in Pittsburgh.
Makes sense, they’ve got him through the 2016 and 2020 elections.
yes. WJAS has the money show which is as interesting as listening to high school wrestling on the radio. Bring Mark on board and watch the ratings climb.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
In 2007/8 Willard bought Clear Channel, which owns several Conservative stations..
I think Rush is on some of those stations..Hannity was too..
Well, purchase gave Willard control of what the talk show hosts said during the POTUS election cycle about the nominees..
Therefore was little negative said about the new owner of the “conservative” radio stations but Willard was praised as the 2nd coming of Mohammad from morn till night..
He was interviewed constantly on these programs and the questions were so soft and fluffy I wish my towels could be washed in the soap...
Mark Levin however didn’t do much kissing up..He was not connected to Clear Channel, as far as I remember..
and hes not now..
Mark has said several times lately that he has been inviting Willard to come on his program but Willard wont come..
Oh gee wonder why not ???
I know it is not the same, I think he is on a NYC station that I can hear at night in the car.
RE: my last post - I am in Pittsburgh.
Ha! I'd say the only one, and the only one worth listening to!
Congratulations TGO!!
I’ve always been a republican but Mark Levin taught me why I am a conservative. Congratulations Great One!
Here is the FULL INTERVIEW:

Woops. Looks like that interview is from 9-27-13 even though it is the one shown in the article. Nevertheless, it is a great interview!
Sweet. Now how can we get Mark Steyn his own permanent show?
Mark Steyn does not want a full-time career in radio.
If he did he likely would not be working as Rush’s stand-in. After so many of his prior guest hosts went on to have their own shows (Michael Medved, Sean Hannity, Tony Snow...) I think he’s learned to stop breeding his own competition.
Now if he would stop yelling.
OK.
I like Mark Levin.
How does his audience compare with
Michael Savage?
And someone, PLEASE ask them to quit FIGHTING each other.
OK?
Competition between individuals is a natural conservative trait.
In other words, normal humans compete. Liberals backstab.
