WWO Syndicating Long-Form Ben Shapiro Show


Westwood One is expanding distribution of the wildly-popular The Ben Shapiro Show podcast.

Launching on April 2nd, The Ben Shapiro Show will be syndicated across major U.S. markets including legendary station WABC/New York City; plus KABC/Los Angeles, WLS/ Chicago, WMAL/Washington D.C.; WYAY/Atlanta, KTTH/Seattle, and KKAT/Salt Lake City. Weeks before the radio show launches, advertising time in The Ben Shapiro Show is completely SOLD OUT.

The Ben Shapiro Show podcast has a fiercely loyal following with 15 million downloads each month. Listeners tuning in to The Ben Shapiro Show on radio will hear a high-energy, action-packed hour as Ben covers America’s most powerful political personalities, brutally breaking down the culture, while never giving an inch.

"The Daily Wire and Westwood One are doing something unprecedented: we're launching the first podcast-to-talk radio transition ever,” said Ben Shapiro. “And we're doing it in 5 of the top 10 DMA markets in the country, which is amazing in and of itself -- no show launches with this constellation of stations. We already have an enormous digital audience, and we can't wait to extend that audience to more traditional platforms."

“Ben’s wildly successful podcast delivers a fresh voice to a new generation of millennial conservatives and we are excited to take this provocative narrative to syndicated radio,” said Suzanne Grimes, EVP Marketing, Cumulus Media and President, Westwood One. “As America’s largest audio network, we are putting our full weight behind the show to connect Ben with millions of new listeners across podcast, radio, and streaming platforms.”

Ben Shapiro is editor-in-chief of DailyWire.com, and host of The Ben Shapiro Show, the top conservative podcast in the nation. He is a leading conservative speaker on college campuses, consistently defending free speech and open debate.
