Get ready for a shake-up in talk radio! Salem Radio Network is making a bold move by adding That Kevin Show to its lineup, starting Monday, November 24. But here’s where it gets interesting: Kevin McCullough is stepping into the slot previously held by Eric Metaxas, who left during Salem’s October layoffs. And this is the part most people miss—McCullough isn’t just filling a void; he’s bringing a show that promises to detonate opinions, not whisper them. In a media landscape often accused of tiptoeing around truth and humor, McCullough vows to deliver both, seasoned with a healthy dose of common sense.
Airing weekdays from 2-4 PM Eastern, That Kevin Show isn’t McCullough’s first rodeo with Salem. He’s a seasoned veteran, having worked across radio, television, and print—currently as a columnist for Townhall.com and a regular contributor to the Salem News Channel and BizTV. His enthusiasm is palpable: “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,” he shared. But here’s the controversial part: In an era where media often feels polarized, McCullough’s unapologetic approach could either unite listeners or divide them. Will his bold voice resonate, or will it rub some the wrong way? That’s the question.
Salem SVP/Spoken Word Phil Boyce is confident in the choice, praising McCullough as “one of the most engaging communicators in talk radio.” He highlights McCullough’s strong convictions, humor, and deep faith as qualities that will shine through every broadcast. Boyce believes the show will connect powerfully with audiences across Salem’s NewsTalk and Christian Talk stations. But here’s the kicker: In a time when media consumption is more fragmented than ever, can a show like this cut through the noise? And more importantly, is talk radio ready for a host who refuses to play it safe?
Whether you love him or disagree with him, one thing’s for sure: Kevin McCullough is about to make waves. And we’re here for it. What do you think? Is That Kevin Show the breath of fresh air talk radio needs, or is it a step too far? Let us know in the comments—this is one conversation you won’t want to miss!
