On Friday, 77 WABC owner John Catsimatidis canceled The Rudy Giuliani Show after the former New York Mayor and lawyer for Donald Trump refused to cease talking about the validity of the 2020 election.

The former New York news/talk host took to social media to blast the billionaire after his show’s cancellation.

“What John Catsimatidis has done is disgraceful,” Giuliani said during his America’s Mayor Live video show. “With the pretense that he was building some kind of a First Amendment station, he blew a hole in the First Amendment that’s so big you can’t even find it. You can’t tell somebody not to talk about the 2020 presidential election and tell me that you have respect for free speech.”

Catsimatidis told The New York Times he had repeatedly informed Giuliani that he could not make false claims about the validity of the election that saw Joe Biden defeat Donald Trump. Giuliani informed the station owner that he was not willing to comply with the mandate, resulting in his suspension and subsequent cancellation.

“Isn’t it a hell of a time to stop me from doing what I’ve been doing for three and a half years – just when they may be preparing to steal another election?,” Giuliani posited during the program.

In a statement to The Independent, Rudy Giuliani argued that 77 WABC ending his show was a “clear violation of free speech”.

101.7 The Truth has announced a new midday show as its current host, Melanie Ricks, moves to a digital program later this summer.

The new program — Jammin with Juice — will be co-hosted by Ben Hooks and Carrie Mahone. It will debut on Monday, May 20th. Meanwhile, Nothin’ But The Truth, hosted by Ricks, will re-launch as a digital-only program later this year.

“We are excited for Mel and the new opportunities a digital show presents itself, particularly as fans explore new ways to consume our content,” said 101.7 The Truth Director of Content Kyle Wallace. “Carrie and Ben are part of the up-and-coming generation of young broadcasters, and since both teammates joined the Truth team at its inception, their passion and grasp on the Milwaukee community will translate through the airwaves.”

The show will be heard from Noon to 1 PM on the Good Karma Brands Milwaukee station.

“Fans will embrace our show because we are The Truth for the youth. This show is the birth of a new era of media in the city, and we hope to bridge the gap between generations through entertaining yet honest dialogue,” said Carrie Mahone.

“Jammin with Juice will be a place where fans can hear young voices speak on matters
that affect us all every day,” Ben Hooks added.

The Glenn Beck Program has been added to the daily lineup at iHeartMedia’s Talk Radio 1190 AM in Dallas, effective today.

Beck, who is based in Dallas, will be heard from 8-11 AM as a lead-in to The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show.

“I’m excited to partner with iHeartRadio on the relaunch of KFXR,” said Beck. “With Dallas-Fort Worth being our home market and the home of my American history museum, I can’t wait to exploit the many opportunities that will grow our relationship with the listeners in Texas and KFXR.”

Beck was previously heard in the market on the Cumulus-owned 570 KLIF. He was replaced in that station’s lineup by The Brian Kilmeade Show.

“We are thrilled to welcome Glenn Beck to Dallas Talk Radio 1190,” said iHeartMedia Dallas/Austin/San Antonio Region President Amy Leimbach. “His unique perspective and engaging dialogue are the perfect addition to our weekday lineup. From 8 to 11 a.m., listeners can expect a blend of insightful commentary and compelling discussions that resonate with our Dallas audience. We’re excited for the energy and passion Glenn will bring to the airwaves each morning.”
