Business Wire
Salem Media Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: SALM), announced today that
Philadelphia woke up to a dynamic chapter in conservative talk
radio history this morning as NewsTalk 990 AM WNTP became
Philadelphia’s AM 990, The Answer.
From politics and the culture war to traffic and weather,
Philadelphia’s AM 990, The Answer will do just that—provide answers
and fill in the blanks. The Answer will engage listeners on what
matters most to them—both as Philadelphians and as American
citizens.
Newly-signed Chris Stigall, longtime Philadelphia radio
personality, anchored the launch today with a brand new program,
Philadelphia’s Morning Answer with Chris Stigall. He’ll host the
program weekdays from 6am-9am, joining AM 990’s impressive program
line-up that also includes Mike Gallagher, Hugh Hewitt, Dennis
Prager, Sebastian Gorka, Larry Elder and Eric Metaxas.
“One of the biggest thrills in my career was watching Donald
Trump win Pennsylvania in 2016,” says Stigall. “I can't wait to be
back with the smartest audience in all of radio as we work to bring
the Keystone State home again in 2020. There's never been a more
exciting time in history to launch a new radio show. I'm so proud
and excited to call AM990 the Answer my new home!”
Notes Phil Boyce, SVP/Director, Spoken Word Format & Salem
Radio Network, “For nearly nine years, Chris Stigall held down the
captain’s chair on morning radio in Philly. Now we are doing the
right thing and bringing him back. There could not be a more
perfect time to add a new local voice to our lineup. We're all
about breaking news and what to think of it. Chris is back to
answer all of that and more. "
“The change to Philadelphia’s AM 990 The Answer more accurately
reflects what we have always desired to be as a radio station—one
that always went deeper into issues that matter to all of us, one
that provides answers to the many questions we all have,” adds
Lorenzo Caldara, General Manager, Salem Media Group Philadelphia.
“With the addition of Chris Stigall in the mornings, we now have
the added dimension to focus on local issues just as closely as we
can on national issues. We’re proud of this city, and it’s time to
serve it better than ever before.”
