As The Dan Bongino Show comes to an end, Vince Coglianese will take over the timeslot for Westwood One. And he admits it is an unusual transition.
During Bongino’s final podcast, Coglianese joined as an introduction to his new audience. He shared that he couldn’t ‘believe I’m here and I’m so over the moon about all of this.” He then noted how unique the situation is.
“I will say this is the most unusual exchange in media that you will ever see, I promise, for the rest of your life. This is a jealous industry. This is an industry where — there’s some people who help each other out — for the most part, when a guy gets a job, usually somebody else has to lose it. That’s usually how that works.”
He added that despite the “deeply unusual” transition, he has felt nothing but love from Bongino’s audience.
“Ever since it was announced, the reaction has been completely positive, and that’s a testament to you,” Vince Coglianese said to Dan Bongino. “You said, ‘This is my guy. I like this guy. He’s going to do a good job.’ And your audience, the Bongino Army, has responded so well. It’s been unbelievable how nice this is all been. So passionate. We’re gonna do great things man and the message I keep getting is, ‘You’ve got big shoes to fill.’ Like, I know,” he concluded with a laugh.
The VINCE Show begins on Monday, in the timeslot previously occupied by Dan Bongino in the 12-3 PM ET window. The Westwood One show will air on more than 250 stations on its debut.
