Compass Media Networks will take over syndication for 750 WSB Atlanta/95.5 WSBB Doraville GA’s Erick Erickson Show.
Erickson had been self-syndicating the 12-3pm eastern show based at WSB with affiliates including WBT Charlotte, WOKV-FM Jacksonville, KXNT Las Vegas, and WDBO Orlando. Erickson has been with WSB since 2011 and moved into the 12-3pm slot in March 2021 following the end of Rush Limbaugh’s show after his passing. He previously hosted afternoons at the station, while hosting a separate late morning show across the state of Georgia.
Erick Erickson proudly announces that The Erick Erickson Show has been launched into national syndication in partnership with Compass Media Networks. “We are thrilled to embark on this next chapter of our growth and are so appreciative of our friends and partners who have supported us,” said Erick Erickson.
For over a decade, Erick Erickson has been a fixture on WSB Radio in Atlanta, recently announcing a multi-year contract extension with Cox Media Group to continue on WSB Radio weekdays, noon to 3pm ET. Mr. Erickson has built a national following as a political television contributor, former guest-host for The Rush Limbaugh Show, and recently with the self-syndication of The Erick Erickson Show across a growing terrestrial radio network of over 30 markets.
“In the four years I’ve worked with Erick, I’ve been astounded by his talent, his understanding of media and the marketplace and his ability to build a business,” said John McConnell, advisor to The Erick Erickson Show. “Erick is true to his beliefs, does not conform to the talking points, is thoroughly refreshing and it is for those reasons he is often the most listened to local talk show host in the US. Moving to the bigger stage, he will bring tremendous success to those that join him.”
“At a critical time in our nation’s history and just as the public starts to turn their attention to the upcoming Presidential election cycle, we are thrilled to bring Erick Erickson to the national stage,” said Peter Kosann, CEO/Founder of Compass Media Networks. “Erick is a winner by every metric and we are lucky to call him our friend and colleague.”
