The Steve Harvey Show hits milestone of 50 radio stations with Chicago's WGCI

(July 19, 2007) Debuting Wednesday, Aug. 1, Premiere Radio Networks’ The Steve Harvey Morning Show will join Clear Channel’s WGCI-FM lineup in the 5-9 a.m. CST weekday morning slot.  Steve Harvey has sky-rocketed in radio syndication since his debut with the network in October 2005.  Marking the 50th radio station with Chicago’s WGCI-FM is a particularly significant milestone for Harvey because it’s where he first started in radio in 1996.

Kris Kelley, WGCI-FM Program Director stated, “Steve Harvey is a world-class entertainer and we are tremendously excited to add him to WGCI’s on-air lineup.”

In addition, The Steve Harvey Morning Show is the number one rated morning show in the top 50 metro markets with Persons 12+, 18-34, 18-49, 25-54 and Women 25-54.  (Source:  Arbitron Winter ‘07, Top 50 Metro Markets.) 

The Steve Harvey Morning Show is nationally syndicated by Premiere Radio Networks on 50 stations in markets such as New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. The show combines heart, humor, music and celebrities from the world of sports and entertainment. Harvey is joined on the show by Shirley Strawberry, Carla Ferrell and his “Nephew Tommy.” 

WGCI-FM is Chicago’s number one radio station with the highest share of all radio listeners, ages 12 and older.  It continues to achieve top ratings among multiple adult, male and female demographic groups.  WGCI-FM reaches almost one million total radio listeners weekly.
