iHeartMedia has launched a new AC weekend program, The Ellen K Weekend Show, featuring Los Angeles’s KOST 103.5 morning show host Ellen K. The show will originate from Los Angeles and debut on Saturday, July 28 nationwide.
“Ellen K is one of the most popular hosts in radio and one of the most well-known women in media today,” said Tom Poleman, Chief Programming Officer for iHeartMedia. “Her success as the leading female host for a morning drive program in Los Angeles is a direct result of her empowering and upbeat view as a modern mom navigating everyday life. Ellen K has the unmatched ability to enlighten, educate, and entertain and she has been a trusted voice in the community for over 20 years. We’re thrilled for the opportunity to bring The Ellen K Weekend Show to listeners nationwide.”
“It’s hard to believe it’s been three years since I left On Air with Ryan Seacrest to start up the Ellen K Morning Show with iHeartMedia, and now to broadcast the new Ellen K Weekend Show across iHeartRadio stations nationwide is a dream come true. This thrilling new weekend venture is the continuation of the exciting growth we’ve experienced in Los Angeles,” said Ellen K. “We pride ourselves on connecting with our listeners in a meaningful way and the new weekend program is definitely a feel-good show — and I think we need more of that in the world today and I’m happy that iHeart agrees. iHeartMedia has long been an important partner to me, and I am grateful to the entire team for the opportunity.”
