Salem
Media Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: SALM) announced today that Salem Radio
Network (SRN) is extending its agreement with top national radio host
Larry Elder through 2022. Larry built a loyal local following in Los
Angeles over twenty years with KABC, and in 2016 Salem Radio Network
picked up The
Larry Elder Show and syndicated him nationwide. Elder is
listed as one of Talkers Magazine’s “Heavy Hundred” most
important radio shows in America with nearly one million weekly
listeners. His program is carried by over 350 affiliates.
Elder—whose program airs weekdays in the 6pm-9pm Eastern time slot—is
known as “the Sage from South Central,” and he is unafraid to take on
liberals and the Black Lives Matter movement with common sense.
“I can’t think of a better fit for The Larry Elder Show than
Salem Radio Network,” said Elder. “Our national show has grown
astronomically in the last three years, and I’m both thrilled and
honored to continue broadcasting with the Salem Radio Family.”
“Larry has been a huge hit for the Salem Radio Network,” said Senior
Vice President, Salem Radio Network and Spoken Word Formats Phil Boyce.
“He is a leader in conservative thought, and listeners all across the
country have made an appointment with him every day to hear a voice of
reason to cut through the noise of a world gone mad. It has been an
honor and privilege to work with a talk radio legend like Larry these
last three years, and we’re thrilled to continue our relationship.”
