Townsquare Media announced Wednesday that “Uncle Joe” Benson will host Ultimate Classic Rock, the company’s popular nighttime syndicated radio show, beginning May 7.
“Joe’s name is synonymous with great rock radio,” said Kurt Johnson, Townsquare SVP/Programming. “We’re excited to have him crack the mic nightly on the 50-plus national affiliates of Ultimate Classic Rock, and to share commentary, stories, interviews and videos with our audience on UltimateClassicRock.com.”
Benson added, “Music has been an important part of my life, especially while working on the radio airwaves at the height of the Album Rock Era. As the host of Ultimate Classic Rock, I will be doing what I love — hosting a great show on-air and online, and playing the ultimate classic rock. Join me for music and conversation with friends.”
