Erickson Extended At CMG Atlanta

• Cox Media Group has extended the contract of popular talk host Erick Erickson for three more years on 95.5 WSB/Atlanta.

Erickson has been with 95.5 WSB for 12 years, moving from weekends to evenings to afternoons before settling into his current noon-3pm timeslot. His show is also carried on several other CMG stations, including WDBO/Orlando, FL, WGAU/Athens, GA, KRMG/Tulsa, OK, WOKV/Jacksonville, FL and WHIO/Dayton, OH.

“For more than a decade, Erick has done a great job of entertaining and informing the WSB audience about the biggest news stories of the day,” said Ken Charles, Director of Branding & Programming for 95.5 WSB. “I’m proud we’ll continue our partnership for another three years, and I’m excited about what new things we can create moving forward. The best is yet to come!” Jaleigh Long, VP/Market Manager, CMG Atlanta Radio, noted, “Erick is an exceptionally rare talent, and we are thrilled that he’ll continue to be a huge part of 95.5 WSB for years to come.”

Erickson remarked, “95.5 WSB is not just home, it’s the gold standard of talk radio, with incredible leadership from Ken Charles and Jaleigh Long. I fell into the role by accident 12 years ago. It’s not just the longest job I’ve had, it’s three hours of joy every day working with the best people in radio. I simply cannot imagine doing anything else anywhere else with any team other than the hard-working talent at 95.5 WSB.”
