Westwood One and Harpo Radio are on the same wavelength. They have signed a multi-year partnership to distribute "The Gayle King Show," a two-hour, daily radio talk program hosted by TV personality and Oprah BFF Gayle King.

In addition, Westwood will distribute "Gayle King Evening," a new, five-hour weeknight entertainment program from Harpo Radio with music, talk and guests. Westwood One is also airing a daily feature from Dr. Mehmet Oz, host of daytime TV's "The Dr. Oz Show" and a three-hour weekend program that combines content from Gayle King, Dr. Oz and other Harpo Radio programs.

All shows will be broadcast on Westwood One's 5,000 affiliate radio stations and streamed to their respective Web sites.

Gary Schonfeld, president, Westwood One Network Radio, stated: "Gayle King and Dr. Oz both connect with their audiences in a personal, powerful way that is perfect for radio today."

The new agreement expands "The Gayle King Show" audience; "King" is currently in its fourth year on Sirius XM Radio.

King is well-known as an editor at large for O, The Oprah Magazine, as well as her appearances on "The Oprah Winfrey Show." Dr. Mehmet Oz, a surgeon and author, reaches millions of viewers weekly with his health and wellness advice.

Erik Logan, president of Harpo Productions, said the partnership marked "an exciting new day" for Harpo Radio.

The Oprah channel already airs on XM Radio.
