iHeartMedia and syndicated morning host Jeff “Woody” Fife announced today a long-term contract extension that will keep The Woody Show in mornings at iHeartMedia Modern Rock KYSR (ALT 98.7)/Los Angeles and nationally syndicated by Premiere Networks until 2028.
“Woody is one-of-a-kind — and it shows in his ratings success, in L.A., across the country on the iHeartRadio digital service, locally in key markets and on our other iHeart platforms,” said Bob Pittman, iHeartMedia Chairman/CEO. “His unique talent combined with his unbelievable work ethic are key to his success and we are delighted to continue this journey with him.”
“Woody is a true morning show savage,” said Lisa Worden, iHeartMedia VP of Rock and Alternative and ALT 98.7 PD. “There is no one better to anchor mornings on our flagship ALT 98.7, and his commitment to excellence is bar none. And L.A. agrees! #ALLIN on ‘The Woody Show!’”
“I am thrilled to stay ‘work married’ to iHeartMedia. This has been, and will continue to be, one of my longest and healthiest relationships,” said Woody. “I wouldn’t be able to do what I’ve done to this point without the incredible support of people like Bob Pittman, Kevin LeGrett, Tom Poleman, Greg Ashlock and Lisa Worden. There isn’t another company better positioned, with a clearer vision for the future than iHeartMedia, and I’m beyond grateful to be a part of that.”
The Woody Show is syndicated nationally by Premiere Networks in more than 30 markets including Philadelphia, Phoenix, Portland, Las Vegas, Austin, Kansas City, Raleigh-Durham, Indianapolis and New Orleans.
