Make It An Ellen K Weekend
• iHeartMedia just announced the impending debut of the nationally syndicated The Ellen K Weekend Show. Hosted by Ellen K, morning personality on KOST 103.5/Los Angeles and nationally known voiceover pro, the new four-hour AC weekend show debuts this Saturday, July 28 and features custom tailored content for an audience that wants to feel informed on lifestyle trends, inspired by “feel-good” moments and enhanced by shareable factoids. Listeners will also enjoy the latest showbiz news and interviews with the biggest names in music.
“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.”
Ellen K remarked, “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!” She added, “This thrilling new weekend venture is the continuation of the exciting growth we’ve experienced in Los Angeles. 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’m grateful to the entire team for the opportunity.”
The Ellen K Weekend Show debuts this Saturday across 10 iHeartMedia AC stations, including flagship KOST, WLTW/New York, WLIT/Chicago, KODA-FM/Houston, WASH/Washington, DC, WNIC/Detroit, KESZ/Phoenix, KKCW/Portland and KSNE/Las Vegas — it will expand to 30 additional markets on August 25 and will also be available on iHeartRadio.
