Verdict with Ted Cruz — the iHeartMedia podcast turned nationally syndicated radio show — is celebrating a milestone as it hit its 200th affiliate with WRVA in Richmond.
The show will air at 9 PM ET on Sundays at the Audacy Richmond news/talk station. Verdict is made available to stations through Premiere Networks and is able to be broadcast at any time throughout the weekend.
The show is hosted by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Premiere Networks host Ben Ferguson.
“We’re proud to celebrate our 200th affiliate, WRVA!” said Ben Ferguson. “This milestone shows how Verdict continues to resonate with listeners and stations across the country—and we’re just getting started.”
The show launched into national syndication in April, with 100 stations broadcasting the program on its launch. Verdict with Ted Cruz was first launched in January 2020 as a podcast, before being acquired by iHeartMedia in 2022.
“It’s a great opportunity to communicate directly with the American people,” Senator Cruz told Barrett Media about the podcast and radio show earlier this year. “And not go through a middleman, not go through a mediator, and connect directly with Texans and with Americans, and explain what is happening in Washington. The podcast and now the brand new radio show does something you can’t get anywhere else. It takes you behind the scenes. It takes you behind the scenes in the United States Senate, it takes you behind the scenes of the White House, it takes you behind the scenes of the U.S. Supreme Court, and explains what’s happening and why it matters.”
