Beginning April 12th, WTAM in Cleveland will be rolling out a new program, “The Jimmy Malone Show,” on weekdays from 9-10 am and takes over the time-slot vacated by Geraldo Rivera, who departed the radio station on April 1st.
Malone’s new show on WTAM will feature veteran producer Rob Rozycki and contributor Cache Roberts. Furthermore, Malone will host conversations with politicians, community and business leaders, journalists, etc.
“I’m thrilled with the opportunity to connect with the WTAM audience,” Malone said in a statement. “WTAM is the news and information leader in the market, and it’s humbling to have the opportunity to join such a legendary radio station. I simply can’t wait to get started.”
Also, he’ll feature segments, including his signature feature, “Knuckleheads In The News.” Malone has a lengthy career in radio dating back to 1985, at first doing his signature “Knuckleheads in the News” segment in weekly appearances on WMJI’s “Lanigan and Webster Morning Show.”
In 1991, the veteran radio host became a full-time co-host on the show, where he remained a mainstay until 2021. Afterward, he launched “The Jimmy Malone Show” on WARF-AM.
“We’re thrilled to launch ‘The Jimmy Malone Show’ on WTAM,” iHeartMedia Cleveland Regional Senior VP of Programming Keith Kennedy said.
“Jimmy is a passionate talk show host, a generous philanthropist, and lover of all things Cleveland. We are thrilled to add yet another powerful local voice to a station that means so much to the community.”
