All Major WGAW Radio Talk Show Hosts Honored by Talkers Magazine
Talkers Magazine Editors compiled a list of the 100 Most Important Radio Talk Show Hosts in America – What They Call the “Heavy Hundred” They use a combination of hard and soft factors in compiling the list including courage, effort, impact, longevity, potential, ratings, recognition, revenue, service, talent, and uniqueness.
Mark Levin who is aired 6-9pm daily on WGAW was near the top of the list at #4 and Mike Gallagher (9am to noon weekdays) was notable at #12. Also on the list of honorees: 5-6am host Gordon Deal, noon to 3pm host Dennis Prager, and 3 to 6pm host Sebastian Gorka. While not a weekday host, Tech Goddess (as she’s called) Kim Komando made the list as well as weekend program hosts Bill Cunningham and Chris Plante. While aired nationally via live stream, the Morning News with Steve Wendell did not make this year’s list. Wendell also hosts the Hit Show, Hotline Radio which airs every Saturday from noon to 2pm.
One of the reasons WGAW is so well known is because it has been around since right after the 2nd World War, going on the air in 1946. WGAW is heard on AM 1340, 98.1 FM, and via live stream from anywhere in the United States or the World. LIVESTREAM LINK.
