CUMULUS MEDIA has entered into a new multi-year agreement with “THE BERT SHOW” to produce and distribute the morning  show to markets across the U.S. WESTWOOD ONE will handle distribution.

CUMULUS EVP/Marketing and WESTWOOD ONE Pres. SUZANNE GRIMES said, “We’re excited to welcome THE BERT SHOW to WESTWOOD ONE. His ever-evolving show has been on a steady rise for more than a decade. BERT’s professionalism and level of entertainment, combined with the strength of our network, should take him to new heights.” 

WWWQ (Q100)/ATLANTA PD LOUIE DIAZ said, “BERT has been waking up ATLANTA since day one of Q100 over 17 years ago. His ratings success is the reason that BERT will now be syndicated through WESTWOOD ONE to cities around the country. He uses radio, social media, and streaming platforms to create an amazing one-of-a-kind connection with listeners and advertisers. We congratulate him on his continued success and are looking forward to many more years with BERT and the entire BERT SHOW mornings on Q100 ATLANTA.”

BERT WEISS said, “A mentor once told me to find something you love doing then try and make a career out of it. That's exactly my experience with THE BERT SHOW and Q100. One of the things I'm most excited about, honestly, is watching this BERT SHOW staff grow together. The talent is here. The team chemistry is as high as I've ever felt it and I'm really excited to continue to watch it evolve and blossom. I love coming in every morning and I love working alongside friends. I love our chemistry and our shared drive to keep the show fresh and our never-ending desire to be the best we can be while having a blast doing it. And, in CUMULUS, I have a company that I trust and is eager to support us every step of the way. CUMULUS has had our backs for 17 years and it's been a dream partnership and I'm so appreciative of their confidence in THE BERT SHOW. Thanks to EVP/Content & Programming MIKE MCVAY and Q100 VP/Market Manager SEAN SHANNON for getting this deal across the finish line.”
