FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Program Will Expand to Three Hours in February With Market Clearance in New York, LA, Chicago,
San Francisco, Dallas, Detroit and Washington, DC
DALLAS (Jan. 5, 2009) - ABC Radio Networks announced today that is has signed Mark Levin, one of the leading talk personalities in the country, to a new multi-year syndication agreement. The Mark Levin Show is approaching its three-year anniversary with the network and in that time has rapidly grown to more than 175 affiliates with millions of listeners and become a recognized ratings leader. The program airs in 9 of the top 10 and 24 of the top 25 markets.
“Mark is one of the most talented and respected broadcasters in our industry and has won over a legion of loyal radio listeners,” said Jim Robinson, President of ABC Radio Networks. “He is an essential driver of our news/talk portfolio and we are proud to remain Mark’s partner in delivering such compelling programming.”
On February 2, The Mark Levin Show will expand from two hours to include an available third hour of content. Affiliates already committed to carrying the additional hour include WABC – New York; KABC – Los Angeles; WLS – Chicago; KSFO – San Francisco; WBAP – Dallas; WJR – Detroit; and WMAL – Washington, DC. More stations are expected to option the third hour once the opportunity is made available.
“Since we launched the show in national syndication, we’ve developed relationships with some truly outstanding stations and advertisers along the way and I’m so grateful to work with all of them,” said Levin. “The next few years could determine what kind of nation America will be for generations to come. I intend to be here defending the Constitution and continuing the dialogue with my wonderful audience.”
Levin is one of the country’s most noted conservative voices and a best-selling author. He served as a top adviser to several members of President Ronald Reagan’s cabinet,
including his post as Chief of Staff to the Attorney General. In 2001, the American Conservative Union named Levin the recipient of the prestigious Ronald Reagan Award. He currently practices law in Washington, DC and heads the distinguished Landmark Legal Foundation. His radio program consistently offers an entertaining and thought-provoking discussion on the newsmakers of the day.

Ping and Congrats!
This is news. KSFO just announced their new lineup starting today. Mark Levin was interviewed this morning by Brian Sussman, who is expecting to move his show to the 5:00PM-7:00PM timeslot, immediately after Levin (who airs from 3:00PM to 5:00PM).
If KSFO is committed to airing the third hour, that's news to Sussman. He was excited about reaching into the earlier drive-time, too. Easy come, easy go?

Thank me!
(/just kidding)
Congrats to Mr. Levin! I listen in the car when I pick up our boys from school. They LOVE listening to him, and we appreciate the education they receive from him while also being entertained. :-) I think they learn more in 20 minutes of listening to Mark Levin than they learn all day in school. lol
We all love you. God bless you and your family.
His voice and temperament annoy me, and he puts pets above humans and believes they have actual rights.
Not exactly what I enjoy listening to, but if it floats your boat, go for it.
A lot of the rest of what he stands for is conservative.
AWRIGHT!!
The Great One is probably my favorite radio voice
and possibly the smartest single individual to be heard on the radio in this country.
Congrats to Mark Levin on his new contract.

PING you list!!
Woo-hoo!!

Bravo and Congrats on the new Contract... move over Limbaugh?? whenever HE’s ready..
A good piece of news on an otherwise bleak, seemingly hopeless day. Nice to have Levin as a voice out there. Congratulations to Mark!
Whoo Hoo!
Chat? Show the great one a bit of respect. Should be posted in News/Activism, IMO.

Congrats to the Great One! This is very good news.
