Mark Levin Signs Massive New Deal For ‘Multiple Years’
Renowned conservative commentator and talk show host Mark Levin is set to remain on the airwaves for the foreseeable future, having recently signed a significant new contract with Cumulus Media.
As per reports, this agreement ensures Levin will continue his broadcast for "multiple years," while also taking on an additional project to expand his already extensive workload.
Since 2007, Levin, now 66, has been affiliated with Cumulus Media and Westwood One. This new arrangement involves his creation and hosting of a brand-new program for the network, marking his inaugural original podcast series, according to the Washington Examiner.
"This has been my radio home for 23 years, and I am more excited than ever, especially during these tumultuous and historic times, to continue my relationship with my first-rate broadcast partners for many years to come," Levin expressed.
Collin Jones, Westwood One president and Cumulus Media’s executive vice president, remarked: "Mark is a powerful and influential voice with an incredible ability to establish strong relationships with his listeners while driving tremendous results for his advertising partners. Mark has been dubbed 'The Great One' for his ability to concisely break down the day’s most significant topics, and we are thrilled to grow our partnership with him for years to come."
The Examiner further reported: "Levin has been a must-listen for years. A legal scholar who previously served as chief of staff in the Reagan-era Justice Department, he provides clear-cut and insightful analyses on major issues, from former President Donald Trump’s legal challenges to the controversies surrounding President Biden. He has also long been a vocal critic of the liberal media, having exposed efforts to downplay President Joe Biden’s cognitive issues before the press acknowledged them after last Thursday’s presidential debate."
The Mark Levin Show airs Monday through Friday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. across nearly 400 radio stations, covering all 10 of the largest metro areas and 21 of the top 25. His daily companion podcast, The Mark Levin Audio Rewind, is accessible on all major podcast platforms.
Additionally, his weekend podcast, The Best of Mark Levin, compiles the most crucial discussions of the week. On Saturdays, he also hosts the highly successful "Life, Liberty & Levin" on Fox News.
"I understand my obligation is to serve the millions of patriotic Americans in the audience. I am blessed to do what I do, and I am committed every day to providing detailed analyses of current events along with historic context, commentary, and my in-depth perspectives to deliver the very best broadcasting I am able to share with our many listeners," said Levin, a distinguished member of the Radio Hall of Fame.
In December, Levin transitioned to the prime-time Saturday 8 p.m. slot, increasing his visibility and effectively doubling his broadcast presence, as his Sunday 8 p.m. slot remains unchanged.
Fox's executive vice president of primetime programming, Meade Cooper, was instrumental in facilitating this change. He stated: "Since joining the network in 2017, Mark has provided our audience with thought-provoking analysis on America’s core values and their impact on current events."
Levin responded with gratitude, stating: "It’s an honor to join the other outstanding hosts on Saturday in bringing the most intelligent, informative, and entertaining programming to the nation. Thank you to our loyal audience and Fox News."
According to Variety, "Fox News said 'Life, Liberty & Levin' is the highest-rated primetime program in cable news on Sundays, averaging 1.4 million viewers and 104,000 in the 25-54 demographic, the audience most coveted by advertisers."
Levin’s distinguished career includes service in the Reagan administration, where he held positions such as associate director of presidential personnel, deputy solicitor of the U.S. Department of Interior, and deputy assistant secretary of the U.S. Department of Education, among other roles.
