After initially signaling that he would depart his nationally syndicated radio show when his contract was up, Dan Bongino has signed an extension to remain with Westwood One.
With the extension, he’ll continue to host The Dan Bongino Show each day from 12-3 PM.
“It’s been a fascinating couple years of ups and downs both personally and in the political space,” said Bongino in a press release. “I love what I do, and I’m ecstatic that we’ve agreed to move forward with the show after changes were made. I want to thank all the shows’ supporters, the stations, and program directors for their continued support. I promise to keep my foot on the gas pedal.”
After Westwood One’s parent company — Cumulus Media — implemented a COVID-19 vaccine mandate, Bongino was a boisterous critic of the decision, leading him to declare the policy would force him to leave the company when his contract expired. His contract situation led two Midwest Communications stations to drop his program earlier this year due to fears he would depart his show.
Bongino has seen success with both his radio show and podcast. The syndicated radio program launched after the death of Rush Limbaugh, and now airs on more than 350 stations. Meanwhile, his podcast often finishes as one of the top 10 most-listened to podcasts in the country.
