WTIC 1080 in Hartford and 98.9 WORD in Greenville, South Carolina have announced the addition of The Erick Erickson Show to their daily lineups.
The Erick Erickson Show — based in Atlanta and distributed by Compass Media Networks — is broadcast live from 12:00-3:00 PM ET, but will air on a tape-delayed basis in Hartford. The show will be heard from 6:00-9:00 PM. On 98.9 WORD, the program will air live. It replaces The Dana Show — hosted by Dana Loesch — in the daily lineup on both stations.
“I grew up spending parts of my summer in Upstate South Carolina and am thrilled to be on a station where I can connect with parts of my family and friends and make new friends,” said Erickson. “News/Talk 98.9 WORD isn’t just a powerful signal, but a strong voice and talk radio leader. I’m glad to be part of the team and look forward to spending more time in Greenville.”
Erickson previously hosted afternoons on 95.5 WSB in Atlanta before moving to his current 12:00-3:00 PM ET window after the death of Rush Limbaugh. The addition of WTIC 1080 and 98.9 WORD is the latest expansion of his growing affiliates list.
“With the arrival of Erick Erickson as the new afternoon talk show host on WYRD-FM, an unsurpassed team of talent will serve the Upstate, north Georgia, and western North Carolina,” said Steve Sinicropi, Senior Vice President and Market Manager, Audacy Greenville-Spartanburg. “Erick’s thought-provoking discussions, unyielding insight, and captivating presence will be a welcomed addition to our listeners and partners. Erick will complete News/Talk 98.9 WORD’s incredible lineup, allowing us to provide unmatched content for listeners and the largest and most effective platform for advertisers.”
