Salem Media announced the addition of That KEVIN Show to the Salem Radio Network (SRN), launching Monday, November 24th, from 2–4 p.m. ET. The fast-paced, faith-driven talk show, hosted by veteran broadcaster and commentator Kevin McCullough, will replace The Eric Metaxas Show across SRN stations nationwide.
Broadcast live from the heart of Times Square, That KEVIN Show is billed as “Where Common Sense Comes to Play.” McCullough brings a rare mix of moral clarity, sharp humor, and cultural insight that has earned him one of the most loyal followings in talk media.
“That KEVIN Show doesn’t whisper opinions – it detonates them,” said McCullough. “In a media world allergic to truth and humor, we bring both, with a healthy dose of common sense. I’m deeply thankful for the opportunity to grow this show with the team at Salem, and I couldn’t be more excited about what’s ahead.”
