Rover Re-Ups With iHeartMedia
• iHeartMedia announced a multi-year contract extension for Rover’s Morning Glory, hosted by Shane “Rover” French. The deal includes the continuation of Rover’s nationally syndicated morning show, based at iHeartMedia Active Rock 100.7 WMMS/Cleveland and the development of additional audio and video content for iHeartMedia and Rover’s own company, via RMG TV.
“Rover is a once-in-a-generation talent who, 14 years ago, saved the legendary Buzzard from extinction and began what will be the most successful run in the mornings at 100.7 WMMS, which is saying a lot,” said Keith Hotchkiss, President of iHeartMedia Cleveland. “His influence reaches far beyond Cleveland, with a giant audience on radio, streaming services, podcasts and video. Now he’ll expand upon his incredible run with iHeart for many years to come. Stay tuned for what’s next!”
“I’m thrilled to continue and expand my partnership with iHeartMedia, the undisputed leader in audio entertainment,” said Rover, who began his radio career in his hometown of Las Vegas in 1996. “Thanks to this deal, Rover’s Morning Glory will reach the incredible milestone of 25 years on the air in Cleveland, which is even more remarkable since I’m just 29 years old.”
In addition to flagship WMMS, Rover’s Morning Glory can currently be heard on WZZR (92.1 Real Radio)/West Palm Beach; WQMF-HD2 (95.7 The Fox)/Louisville; WZDA (ALT 103.9)/Dayton, OH; WAIO (Radio 95.1)/Rochester, NY; WCZR/Vero Beach, FL; WKGB/Binghamton, NY; WQYZ/Biloxi, MS; WRKK/Williamsport, PA; WWRK (Rock 94.1)/Florence, SC; WNCD (93.3 The Wolf)/Youngstown, OH; WFXN (102.3 The Fox)/Mansfield, OH; WZRX/Lima, OH; and WBRW/Blacksburg, VA.
