Cumulus Media and Westwood One have agreed to terms with conservative commentator Dan Bongino to host a daily three-hour show from 12-3pm eastern.
Bongino currently hosts a daily podcast for Westwood One that since March 2020 has been repurposed into a one-hour syndicated show on over 100 stations including 790 KABC Los Angeles and 560 KSFO San Francisco.
The new show would air live in the timeslot currently held by Limbaugh on many if not all Cumulus owned Conservative Talk and News Talk stations.
Bongino is a former NYPD officer and Secret Service agent turned conservative pundit and investor in digital properties including Parler and Rumble. He has previously served as a fill-in host at WMAL Washington and WBAL Baltimore and multiple syndicated talkers including Sean Hannity.
An official announcement should be forthcoming by early next week.
“I won’t listen to “Bongenius”.
...upon learning that, he will be heart-broken for sure.
Thank God
Rush had cancer, Dan Bongino is also fighting cancer... let’s just hope Dan defeats his cancer.
He beat cancer and is now cancer free.......
Bongino is a strong conservative and Trump supporter... he got a clean report last week from the cancer battle.. I like him and he is not timid.
but no one can replace Rush!
I kinda thought Dennis Miller would have been fun.
I’m stuck with Bushie Buck Sexton in the evening market.
Well then, I DITTO your DITTO.
There are lots of fine contenders, but Bongino's energy and awareness, and ability to summarize complex situations, and outright bravery all work in his favor.
He never has to fight for words, with Bongino the words fight to get out.
You da man, Dan!
Me too.
These are not the best of times for the country, I may listen to him a bit, I’ve cut most of my talk show listening, will give Mark an hour or so. I like Dan, give him a shot, the country is going down like an avalanche it will be tough going for him, not much positive to talk about.
Wilkow remains my favorite besides Rush. He is a great communicator of our ideas. He always seemed to me to be the next generation’s Rush.
I like him!
He’ll be fine!
Rush is gone and no one will every be able to replace him in
the sense of being Rush. Others will attempt to fill the time
slot but they won’t hold the audience like Rush did. Neither
will they have the inside or capability of getting to talk with
national figures.
“I have never heard of this guy? They are giving this slot to someone that probably no one has ever heard of? Myself I like the guy Andrew Wilkow over on Saris Radio during the same time slot. He lays it our there.”
Interesting.
I’ve never heard of the guy you’ve heard of.
Bongino is ok. I’ve heard him fill in for Mark Levin.
YMMV
Talk radio hosts are Republican more than conservative
Bong Gino is better than most but still weak
Their history is GOPe rah rah

Good, all the rest of us won’t have to listen to your griping about it then.
Thank you.
I’ll pass, there is no substitute for Rush. I don’t even turn the radio on anymore.
He probably wanted rush money. I’m sure if he took what they offered, he’d get the job, but they probably wanted to pay way less.
