RightLine with Drew Steele is growing. The extension of the Florida’s Voice Radio show has added two new affiliates.
What We Know: The show is expanded to bring its weekend show to new markets. The show will now be heard on WDBO in Orlando and WHIO in Dayton. Both stations are owned by Cox Media Group. Steele hosts the weekday version of the show from 104.5 WOKV in Jacksonville.
What They Said: “Our national footprint is growing, and joining these great radio stations is truly humbling. With so much breaking news over the weekends, we knew we had to go live. I am genuinely grateful for the chance to join this conversation coast to coast. A sincere thank you to our new station partners for the warm welcome — we are ready to listen, connect, and serve these communities nationwide.” -RightLine host Drew Steele
What Remains Unclear: When the show will air on each station.
What It Means: Plenty of national news transpires from Florida. Having a host in the state reaching out to a national audience is a good thing. The expansion also puts more timely programming in a window that has been put on the back burner at many stations.
