Premiere, Steve Harvey Renew & Extend
• Premiere Networks announced a new and extended long-term agreement with Steve Harvey. Under the new agreement, the award-winning multimedia personality will continue as host of The Steve Harvey Morning Show, syndicated by Premiere Networks for more than 15 years and heard on 100+ stations across the country and on iHeartRadio. Harvey will also continue to work with Premiere on a variety of projects, including development and creation of new programming and promotions, community and charitable endeavors, events, and more.
“I’m happy to continue my fruitful partnership with Premiere Networks and host The Steve Harvey Morning Show well into the future,” said Harvey. “Entering into this agreement further underscores my commitment to serving the community and the people. Humor is my gift, but it’s ultimately my connection to the people that motivates me to host the No. 1 syndicated morning radio show for the coming years. The show also allows me to help us engage politically, and enables me to motivate the listeners and provide some spiritual moments as well. I’m excited to continue giving people much needed smiles and hard laughs in these uncertain times.”
Julie Talbott, President of Premiere Networks, remarked, “Steve is a multiplatform star and one of the most talented entertainers in the world. He has the ability to entertain and engage audiences across any and every platform with fun, humor and heart. We couldn’t be happier to extend our relationship for years to come.”
Created by Harvey in September 2000, The Steve Harvey Morning Show joined the Premiere Networks national lineup in 2005. Broadcasting live from 6-10am ET weekdays, Harvey is joined by co-hosts Shirley Strawberry, Nephew Tommy, Carla Ferrell, Junior and J. Anthony Brown. Harvey was honored with the NAB Marconi Award for “Network/Syndicated Personality of the Year” in 2013 and 2015, and he was inducted into the NAB Hall of Fame in 2014.
The agreement was negotiated and executed by Premiere President Julie Talbott and by Steve Harvey Global’s COO and Chief Legal Officer, Brandon R. Williams.
