Eisen Joins Westwood One’s ‘MNF’ Team

• Cumulus Media’s Westwood One will further expand Emmy-nominated broadcaster Rich Eisen‘s role within the network to include pregame and halftime hosting duties for Monday Night Football on Westwood One, starting Sept. 13 when the Baltimore Ravens visit the Las Vegas Raiders and concludes on January 3, 2022, when the Cleveland Browns battle the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Eisen will also host Westwood One’s broadcast of the NFL’s Opening Night on Thursday, Sept. 9, when the Super Bowl Champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers host the Dallas Cowboys. He will also contribute to Westwood One’s pregame and halftime coverage of Super Bowl LVI from Los Angeles on Sunday, Feb. 13, 2022. Kevin Harlan and Hall of Famer and NFL Network analyst Kurt Warner will return as the lead broadcast crew for the NFL on Westwood One.

“Monday Night Football on Westwood One is one of the greatest hosting gigs in broadcasting and I’m honored to have the seat,” said Eisen. “The fact that I can expand my partnership with Westwood One beyond my daily show and podcast platform by talking even more football thrills me to no end.”

Bruce Gilbert, SVP, Sports Programming, Cumulus & Westwood One, commented, “Westwood One and the NFL’s Monday Night Football share a history filled with amazing football and some of the greatest voices to ever cover the game. We are pleased that Rich Eisen has agreed to carry on that storied tradition by adding his preeminent NFL Network voice to our pre-game and half-time programming.”
