Conservative talker Mark Levin, a driving force in the GOP presidential primaries and radio’s judge and jury on Constitutional issues, has been given a “lifetime” extension for his show broadcast by Westwood One.
Levin’s contract lasts until 2025.

“We couldn’t be more pleased to announce this lifetime agreement with Mark,” added Bart Tessler, Westwood One EVP, News & Talk. “To know that we’ll be working together for so many years is a Mark Levin Show primary victory and a big win for affiliates, advertisers, and listeners. Mark’s tenure will now exceed that of a two-term president and that means continued excellence on the air on a nightly basis,” he added in a release headlined:
“Westwood One Announces Lifetime Extension for ‘The Mark Levin Show.'”
Levin shared the release with Secrets. In it, he said, Levin said, “I could not be more pleased to extend my radio partnership with Cumulus/Westwood One. For the next nine years an unprecedented long-term relationship in the broadcasting industry I am committed to continuing to bring the best possible program, both substantive and entertaining, to my millions of beloved and loyal listeners each and every day.”
Levin has been the go-to conservative radio host for GOP presidential candidates. He has made headlines defending Sen. Ted Cruz against attacks by Donald Trump and some in the media that the Texas senator isn’t eligible to run because he was born in Canada.
