Conservative radio host Erick Erickson has signed a new, three-year agreement with Cox Media Group Atlanta’s WSB Radio through 2020. Erickson joined WSB in 2011 and moved into a prime day-part in less than one year.
“We are excited to have Erick as part of our radio family for the long term. He came into radio having never expected to be on radio and has thrived,” said Pete Spriggs, Director of Branding and Programming for WSB. “The contacts in his phone are a who’s who of newsmakers and power brokers. Atlanta is genuinely listening to the most connected man in radio.”
The new contract ensures that Erickson will cover the next presidential election for WSB. In addition to hosting Atlanta’s Evening News with Erick Erickson, weeknights 5-7 p.m., he also provides political analysis for Atlanta’s Morning News and occasionally fills in for WSB’s Herman Cain.
Only a moron hires a stuttering radio host.
