The nationally syndicated Erick Erickson announced a new affiliate Wednesday. Erickson will now be heard in Central Illinois on Springfield’s News & Talk 92.7 WMAY.
Last month, Erickson added two affiliates; Audacy-owned News & Talk 840 AM in Las Vegas and 1430 KYKN in Salem, Oregon.
Erickson has been hosting shows on WSB for ten years. In 2019, Cox-owned WGAU in Athens, Georgia, picked up a simulcast of Erickson’s WSB show.
Erickson began his national syndication in May 2021. Following the death of Rush Limbaugh, Erickson’s show moved into the noon-3p ET slot, to fill the void.
“In every Nielsen PPM market carrying his show, either live or delayed, Erickson is generating higher ratings than the show he replaced, including Rush Limbaugh’s show in Atlanta, Georgia on Erickson’s flagship station, WSB Radio,” the show said in a statement last year.
From June to December 2021, Erickson’s live-streaming audience increased 339%, and his podcast audience grew 188%.
