Talk host Jim Bohannon has celebrated the 25th anniversary of his weeknight The Jim Bohannon Show, after taking over what had been The Larry King Show on January 29, 1993. Bohannon opened his Monday show with, “If you’re lucky, and if you live long enough, every now and then a milestone comes along in your life.”
Bart Tessler, EVP News & Talk, Westwood One, said, “It’s been a highlight of my career working with Jim over a very fast 25 years and producing programs with him across the country and around the world. Jim Bohannon has long been the standard bearer for a great talk show host: intelligent, informed, passionate, and funny. Congratulations to Jim on a superb 25 years.”
The weeknight show and the weekend The Best of Bohannon air on more than 250 stations nationwide, including WLS-AM/Chicago, WBAP-AM/Dallas, KLIF-AM/Dallas, KXL-FM/Portland, WTMJ-AM/Milwaukee, KTAR-FM/Phoenix, KDKA-AM/Pittsburgh, KSL-AM/FM, Salt Lake City.
Congrats to Jimbo…a true class act, and a smooth-as-silk broadcaster.
