Premiere To Patrick: ‘Go Long’

• Premiere Networks announced a renewed and expanded long-term agreement with The Dan Patrick Show. As part of the multi-year deal, Premiere will serve as the exclusive, global audio distribution partner for the Marconi Award-winning program, which launched in October 2007 and currently airs weekdays from 9am-noon ET on more than 360 stations nationwide. The Dan Patrick Show will also remain part of FOX Sports Radio‘s industry-leading weekday programming lineup.

“I’m thrilled to extend my partnership with Premiere Networks, FOX Sports Radio and iHeartRadio,” said Patrick, who is supported daily by a crack production staff that includes Paul Pabst, Patrick O’Connor, Andrew Perloff and Todd Fritz, a.k.a. “The Danettes.” He continued, “This really isn’t a job for me, it’s a passion, and I love working with the Danettes and the rest of my team to create a great experience for our fans. We never take for granted the loyalty our fans have shown us over the years, and I’m honored to keep at it for many years to come. I want to thank Julie Talbott, Bob Pittman and Darren Davis for their continued belief in the show, and a special thank you to my agent, Paul Anderson of Workhouse Media for doing his job to get this deal done while I focused on doing mine for our fans.”

Julie Talbott, President of Premiere Networks President, commented, “There’s no denying that Dan Patrick is one of the biggest multi-platform stars in sports talk and entertainment. As the demand for high-quality sports content continues to grow, we couldn’t be happier to expand our successful partnership with Dan and his team — year after year, they deliver impressive results for our partners.”
