Kaliner Returns To WBT/Charlotte
• Pete Kaliner is returning to Radio One News Talk 1110 & 99.3 WBT/Charlotte to host a daily talk show from noon-3pm, the slot formerly occupied by the late Rush Limbaugh.
Kaliner has spent the better part of the past decade hosting afternoon drive at iHeartMedia News-Talk WWNC/Asheville, NC and producing a daily podcast, but before that he notably spent 12 years at WBT as a reporter and host. “For three decades, ‘Noon to 3’ has been synonymous with an icon that is irreplaceable,” said Marsha Landess, RVP/Market Manager for Radio One Charlotte. “We know that no one will ever replace Rush, and we’re not attempting to replace him. Bringing Pete Kaliner back to WBT represents our commitment to serving this community by utilizing his decades of experience in covering national issues and how they affect us here. We are excited by the future that having Pete on this team brings.”
Kaliner said, “Returning to WBT is somewhat surreal, as it has been such a huge part of my life. Being a part of WBT for all those years meant being a part of Charlotte’s unique and inspiring story. WBT and Charlotte are inextricably connected by a century of history. I’m sincerely humbled and honored to be entrusted to help contribute to the next chapters.” The Pete Kaliner Show debuts Monday, July 26 at noon ET.
