Salem Media Group, Inc., (NASDAQ: SALM) announced today that
Salem Radio Network (SRN) is extending its agreement with top
national radio host Mike Gallagher through 2023. Gallagher has been
with Salem for over twenty years and his program, The Mike
Gallagher Show, is the network’s highest-rated show. Gallagher is
one of Talkers Magazine’s top 10 most important radio shows in
America with over 7 million weekly listeners, and his program is
carried by over 400 affiliates.
Gallagher—whose program airs weekdays in the 9am-12pm Eastern
time slot—is known to his audience as “The Happy Conservative
Warrior,” delivering fresh, insightful commentary from a
conservative perspective on the most talked-about headlines of the
day.
“Every broadcaster should be lucky enough to work for Salem
Media Group,” said Gallagher. “I've worked hard, and they've
rewarded me with a partnership that will have spanned at least 22
years, a rarity in our business. I'm so grateful to Ed Atsinger,
Dave Santrella and Phil Boyce for their support and visionary
leadership. And I will always appreciate Greg Anderson, who has
since retired, for believing in me back in 2001 and bringing me
into the Salem family.”
“We are honored to have had Mike Gallagher in our Salem family
for over two decades and thrilled to continue our long and fruitful
relationship with him,” said SRN senior vice president Phil Boyce.
“Mike’s thoughtful and expert commentary is exactly what America
needs in these turbulent times we live in, and it’s no wonder he is
Salem’s highest-rated program.”
