The Jesse Kelly Show will debut on iHeartMedia Boston station AM 680/WRKO starting in January. Kelly is a war veteran whose unique political views were shaped during a congressional run in a Democrat-controlled district in Arizona.
“We are delighted to be a part of the great WRKO and bringing Jesse Kelly to the Boston audience,” said Dennis Green, Chief Revenue Officer, Key Networks. “Fresh voice, fresh opinions – it’s time for Jesse Kelly.”
Kelly is described as “unfiltered” and “unapologetic” with a unique insight into the world of politics. “Everyone in radio knows about the greatness of WRKO and wants to be there,” he said. “I am honored to be there.”
Kelly joined the U.S. Marine Corps in 2000 and on 9/11, watched the towers fall from inside his barracks. He later deployed to Iraq as an infantry Marine during the Second Persian Gulf War and received an honorable discharge after four years.
After his Congressional run, Jesse continued to be a major voice among conservatives, using his large social media following as a platform to continue many of the conversations started on the campaign trail.
The Jesse Kelly Show starts in Boston on Monday, January 4, 2021, airing Monday through Friday from 10:00pm-1:00am EST. The show will then segue to WRKO’s 7:00pm-10:00pm EST timeslot on Monday, February 15, 2021.
