Planning for the 2025 BNM Summit continues. Our third news/talk media conference is scheduled for September 3-4, 2025 in New York City at the Ailey Theater. Tickets are discounted to $224.99 through June 30th for media professionals. Prices increase to $324.99 on July 1st.
Announced so far are Premiere Networks host and founder of TheBlaze, Glenn Beck, and Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy. Both gentlemen will be featured on Wednesday September 3rd. Newsmax is also serving as the presenting sponsor of this year’s show.
But they’re not the only ones gracing our stage this year.
It’s my pleasure to welcome four news/talk radio heavyweights to the 2025 BNM Summit lineup: Sid Rosenberg, Mike Gallagher, Mark Simone, and Erick Erickson.
Sid Rosenberg has been labeled outrageous and unpredictable, but successful belongs in that same sentence. The host of Sid & Friends In The Morning on 77WABC, he’s built a powerful connection with his audience, advertisers, and A-list guests, including President Donald Trump. His honesty, passion, access, and high energy style have made his show a daily destination for decades. Sid has also been consistently voted one of the top two local news/talk radio morning shows in Barrett Media’s Top 20 series.
Mark Simone is one of the longest running and most entertaining voices on the crowded New York radio dial and one of television’s wittiest talking heads. Heard weekdays from 10am to Noon on WOR, Simone’s show is listened to by millions across radio, television, and podcasts. Industry decision makers hold the program in high regard too, voting it the #1 midday program in news/talk radio in Barrett Media’s Top 20 of 2024.
Mike Gallagher started his radio career in South Carolina in 1989, and has been heard across the nation since 1998. He is a best selling author, actor, and supporter of the law enforcement community. His charitable foundation “Gallagher’s Heroes: Fallen Officers Fund” provides assistance to the families of police officers killed in the line of duty. “The Happy Conservative Warrior” is known for his passionate interactions with listeners and fast-paced, fun delivery, making his program appointment listening for millions of people across the Salem Radio Network.
Erick Erickson is a former elected Republican and lawyer who was mentored and guided into the radio business by Rush Limbaugh. His deep bench of sources and extensive knowledge of politics and campaigns have the Erick Erickson Show connect with audiences across hundreds of stations through its syndication partner Compass Media Networks. Airing weekdays from 12p-3p ET from the studios of Atlanta’s 95.5 WSB, Erick has become one of the preeminent voices in news/talk radio, attracting large crowds and some of the most respected names and voices in politics through his annual event ‘The Gathering‘.
All four men will be part of a talent conversation on Wednesday September 3rd. They’re all masters of delivering ratings and revenue, and enhancing the reputations and relevance of their respective brands. Expect the volume to be raised, the opinions to fly, and some laughs to be had when Sid, Mike, Mark and Erick join us in New York.
