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.

he may fill the time slot, but not the shoes.

he is the rebound voice... making the way for the real replacement smoother.

I like Dan Bongino. He’s good. I admire Dennis Prager and visit his site often, but he is a bit too low key. Which is not bad, but...not for 3+ hours.

I tried to listen to Prager on my commute. Way too slow moving. I enjoy the Prager U videos, but then those are the ones that are NOT him.

Some like the slow calming thing. I get that. I prefer Shapiro speed. :)

A think Bongino is the perfect replacement for Rush. His style seems to be the closest to Rush’s out there.

I think Dan’s a good choice, but would rather have seen Marc Steyn in that time slot.

Bongino is factual and knows his stuff. Not very entertaining however.

I think Dan Bon Gino will be an excellent choice! He will continue Rush Limbaugh‘s legacy of excellence.

Rush wasn’t always listened to for the whole 3 hours either. Sometimes he was, but even 30 minutes of his show in its hayday was significant.

I hope he does ok. It’s not easy to do a three hour show from a half hour show.

I wish he was. Here in ATL (WSB radio) we’re getting NeverTrumper idiot Erick Erickson.

Andrew Wilkow on XM is on from 12-3 and has been better than Rush for years.

Dan B is a nice guy. He’s educated- ironically, he doesn’t give himself enough credit for this. He talks about himself and his family too much for the rush time slot. Too much innuendo. Maybe he’ll stop. And does his own commercials. He’ll burn out his voice. But he will gain most by slowing down and toning down the yelling. His podcasts are 50 minutes of yelling. I cannot follow him. All his stories are in one tone. Yelling. I cannot follow what he’s saying.

I would like to see Mark Levin in that time slot, but he’s got his own show in the evening.................

THAT is true. That said, I admire Mr. Prager, and have listened to his podcasts, but while his intellect is superior, his presentation is...sedate...:)

That isn’t always a bad thing, for example, I love Mark Levin, but I cannot listen to him since his anger (justified, and mirroring my own) is somewhat contagious to me, and I can nearly feel my blood pressure rising to keep pace with Levin’s rising blood pressure...:)

Good or bad, it is a change for the future. Will give a listen, on occasion, and it will either work for me or not.

I’m not expecting him to be Rush Limbaugh.
