Premiere Networks has added iHeartMedia’s The Fred Show to its nationally-syndicated radio lineup. The show, originating from 103.5 Kiss FM (WKSC) in Chicago, will be available to CHR stations as a five-hour morning show. Fred has been at Kiss since 2011 after stops in Austin, Texas, and Charlotte, North Carolina. The program, hosted by Fred and the cast of Kaelin, Rufio, Paulina, Showbiz Shelly, Jason Brown, and Keke, will continue to air in the 5-10a CT weekday timeslot on WKSC.
“I’m incredibly grateful to introduce our show to cities across the country!” said Fred. “We have built a community in Chicago and are excited to welcome the entire nation to our family. Thanks to Julie Talbott and Jennifer Leimgruber at Premiere for their belief in us, in addition to my amazing leaders at iHeart, including Bob Pittman, Tom Poleman, Brad Hardin, Thea Mitchem, Dennis Clark, and James Howard. Let’s go!”
“Fred and his team are a talented group,” said Premiere Networks President Julie Talbott. “They have the ‘it factor’ we’re always looking for. Not only are they passionate, hardworking, and incredibly funny, but they also have multiplatform appeal and produce valuable results for their partners. We couldn’t be more excited to offer a program of this caliber to audiences across the country.”
