Huckabee Radio Show To End In December

Radio Ink, an industry newsletter, reports that former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee will end his national radio show in mid-December.

The Mike Huckabee Show on radio, heard three hours a day on over 200 radio stations across the country since April of 2012, will conclude its run with the end of the final show on Thursday, December 12.

The change does not affect the thrice-daily “Huckabee Report” commentaries, which are now heard on more than 500 radio stations. Huckabee said of “Huckabee Report,” “It will remain without interruption and grow in the future.”

Huckabee continued, “I have loved doing The Mike Huckabee Show, and its success of going from launch to over 200 stations in less than two years is significant, but the contract was at a decision point for both Cumulus Media and me, and we mutually agreed to conclude.”

Huckabee launched the radio show in early 2012 as a counterprogram to the heavyweight Rush Limbaugh Show.
