Ryan Gorman is expanding his Florida radio footprint, with The Ryan Gorman Show joining WFLA Orlando. The morning show will replace Simon Conway following his departure last month.
What We Know: The Ryan Gorman Show will air from 6-9 AM on WFLA Orlando, extending Gorman and Dana McKay’s reach across Central Florida. The program already airs on WFLA in Tampa and 610 WIOD in Miami. Gorman and McKay have built the show around news, talk, and issues affecting listeners throughout the state. Meanwhile, the Orlando addition gives iHeartMedia another opportunity to expand a locally relevant morning program across its Florida radio footprint.
What They Said: “The Ryan Gorman Show team is looking forward to bringing our unique style of news and talk to the Orlando area. We can’t wait to begin entertaining more of our fellow Floridians!” -Ryan Gorman
“Ryan and Dana have built a show that is informative, entertaining and distinctly Florida. Their understanding of the stories and issues that matter to Floridians, combined with the reach of iHeart’s broadcast, digital and social platforms, creates a powerful way to engage and connect with listeners and advertisers across Orlando.” -iHeartMedia Orlando Market President Judy Copier
“Ryan and Dana bring an authentic connection to Florida and a unique ability to tackle the biggest stories of the day in an entertaining way. We’re thrilled to bring the show to Orlando and continue WFLA’s legacy of delivering trusted news and engaging content.” –SVP of News and AM Programming Florida Region and NTS Brand Coordinator Grace Blazer
What Remains Unclear: iHeartMedia hasn’t announced whether the Orlando edition will feature any market-specific elements or additional local contributors. The company also hasn’t detailed any other programming changes surrounding the new morning lineup.
What It Means: The move further establishes Gorman and McKay as a key part of iHeartMedia’s Florida news and talk strategy. Additionally, adding the show in Orlando creates a larger statewide footprint for the program while filling the morning slot Conway left behind.
