Longtime conservative radio host Dennis Prager has announced that he will hand off his Salem Radio Network affiliates to colleague Charlie Kirk and begin hosting a one-hour show in June.
Beginning on Monday, March 31st, stations that had previously aired The Dennis Prager Show will be fed The Charlie Kirk Show. The situation comes after Prager was injured in a November fall that has left him paralyzed from the neck down. After some rehabilitation, he has regained several functions, including the ability to speak relatively clearly and normally which will allow him to return to the air.
Salem Radio Network has shared that Prager will return to the airwaves on Tuesday, June 3rd and will helm a one-hour show from 2-3 PM.
“Dennis may have some physical limitations at the moment, but his wit, wisdom, insights and passion are as strong and as clear as ever and we are delighted at his spirit and resolve to return to his audience,” said Salem Media Group Vice President of Spoken Workd Phil Boyce. “We want Dennis to remain a part of the Salem family and want his millions of loyal fans to continue to hear his voice. Affiliates of Charlie will continue to get the Kirk show with no interruption, and affiliates of Dennis will soon get Charlie Kirk as a strong and able replacement.”
Kirk and Prager have each been broadcasting their nationally syndicated shows in the 12-3 PM ET timeslot since Kirk’s program was added in 2020.
Until Prager is ready to return in June, Jack Posobiec will host the 2-3 PM ET hour for Salem Radio Network.
