WTAM/Cleveland Launches ‘Jimmy Malone Show’
• iHeartMedia’s Newsradio WTAM 1100 (The Big One)/Cleveland announced The Jimmy Malone Show will launch on Tuesday, April 12 and run weekdays from 9-10am. The show will also feature veteran producer Rob Rozycki and contributor Cache Roberts.
“We’re thrilled to launch The Jimmy Malone Show on WTAM,” said Keith Kennedy, RSVP of Programming for iHeartMedia Cleveland. “Jimmy is a passionate talk show host, a generous philanthropist, and lover of all things Cleveland. We are thrilled to add yet another powerful local voice to a station that means so much to the community.”
Malone began his radio career in 1985, doing his signature “Knuckleheads in the News” segment in weekly appearances on the Lanigan & Webster Morning Show on WMJI. In 1991, Malone was upped to a full-time co-host on the show, where he remained until 2021 when he launched The Jimmy Malone Show on WARF (1350 The Gambler)/Akron.
“I’m thrilled with the opportunity to connect with the WTAM audience,” said Malone. “WTAM is the news and information leader in the market, and it’s humbling to have the opportunity to join such a legendary radio station. I simply can’t wait to get started.”
Malone is an NAB Marconi Award winner for Large Market Personality of the Year and an inductee into both the Cleveland Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame and the Ohio Broadcasters Hall of Fame. Malone’s most prized accomplishment, however, is the Malone Scholarship Program at College Now of Greater Cleveland, which annually provides college scholarships to deserving students. Since its inception, the Malone Scholarship Program has raised nearly five million dollars for scholarships.
