Uncle Joe’s Comfort Zone: Ultimate Classic Rock
• Townsquare Media, Inc. has wisely acquired the talents of “Uncle Joe” Benson, one of the preeminent figures in rock radio over the past 40 years — with notable stops at KLOS and the late KSWD (100.3 The Sound)/Los Angeles — as host of Ultimate Classic Rock, the Company’s popular nighttime syndicated radio show, beginning May 7.
“Joe’s name is synonymous with great rock radio,” commented Kurt Johnson, SVP of Programming for Townsquare Media. “We’re excited to have him crack the mic nightly on the 50+ national affiliates of Ultimate Classic Rock, and to share commentary, stories, interviews and videos with our audience on UltimateClassicRock.com.” UltimateClassicRock.com is billed as the world’s most popular classic rock site, focusing on multiple generations of iconic performers with up-to-the-minute news, key moments, video features and smart reviews of the latest tours, albums and singles.
Benson remarked, “Music has been an important part of my life, especially while working on the radio airwaves at the height of the Album Rock Era. As the host of Ultimate Classic Rock, I will be doing what I love — hosting a great show on-air and online, and playing the ultimate Classic Rock! Join me for music and conversation with friends.” The Ultimate Classic Rock radio show is available for syndication through Compass Media Networks.
