You may have heard some rumors about how the mornings will be changing on Newsradio WFLA in 2022. Here's what you'll be waking up to in the new year!
iHeartMedia Tampa Bay’s News Radio WFLA announced today the debut of an extended morning drive lineup including the launch of “The Ryan Gorman Show,” effective January 4, 2022. “AM Tampa Bay with Jack Harris” will now broadcast weekdays from 5-7 a.m., while “The Ryan Gorman Show” will air from 7– 10 a.m.
“The Ryan Gorman Show,” starring Ryan Gorman alongside co-host Aaron Jacobson and producers Katie Butchino and James Burlander, will feature the biggest news stories and trending topics from the local Tampa Bay community. Every morning will be filled with the latest headlines, news, weather and traffic updates, plus discussions and interviews with local and national dignitaries presented as the talk of Tampa Bay.
“I’m excited to make the move to mornings and follow Jack Harris, a Tampa Bay and talk radio legend, and bring something unique and different to talk radio,” said Gorman. “We’re going to cover the biggest stories of the day and have fun doing it. Plus, we’ll feature guests who have the inside scoop on what’s happening in Tampa Bay and across the country and how it will impact you. I’d like to thank the incredible leadership team at iHeartMedia Tampa for the opportunity to host a morning show in my hometown.”
Gorman has been a local fixture at News Radio WFLA as host of PM Tampa Bay since March 2018. Gorman will continue to host “iHeartRadio Communities,” a show focusing on important national topics that runs on iHeartRadio stations across America and often anchors coverage of national breaking news events.
“We’ve got some great things happening in the mornings on 970WFLA beginning in the new year,” said Harris. “First, we’ll be expanding the local mornings on News Radio WFLA to five hours, and we’ll also be expanding our news coverage. As always, ‘AM Tampa Bay,’ followed by ‘The Ryan Gorman Show,’ will be a chock-full of information and entertainment.”
