Salem Media has announced it has inked a contract extension with AM 560 The Answer morning host Dan Proft.
Dan Proft will continue to host morning drive at the Salem Media Chicago news/talk station after inking the multi-year extension that takes him through the end of 2027.
Proft has spent the past decade leading the daypart, after previously working at WLS-AM 890 in the Windy City.
“I’m excited to extend my run on Chicago’s Morning Answer, and I am honored to be trusted with such an important platform during these turbulent times,” said Dan Proft. “Nothing short of the future of the United States and Western civilization, by extension, is on the line, and I’m humbled to be able to lend my voice to the fight. I want to thank AM 560’s management, along with our loyal, intelligent listeners and our accomplished and thoughtful guests, for their ongoing support.”
“The combination of Dan Proft’s intellect and his exceptional interviewing skills is why he’s the best morning radio host in Chicago,” said Salem Chicago Regional Vice President and AM 560 The Answer General Manager John Gallagher. “His knowledge of the issues that affect the people of Illinois is unmatched. This contract extension solidifies the Chicago Morning Answer brand and the top conservative talk radio line-up in the nation.”
Previously, Proft was paired with Amy Jacobson in the daypart before she exited Chicago’s Morning Answer in June of last year.
