Westwood One radio has signed up Billy Bush, currently co-host of "Access Hollywood," to host a new evening program that will launch in April and combine talk, music, celebrity guests, listener
call-ins and entertainment news. At the same time, Westwood will rollout a Billy Bush Web site with interactive listener elements, exclusive content and a blog, among other elements.
"People want to know everything about everybody in Hollywood," says Thomas Beusse, Westwood's president and CEO. "Billy has a reputation for making all the right connections, and we look forward to
helping build one of his strongest, his connections with listeners nationwide."
No stranger to the medium, Bush got his start at a radio station in New Hampshire and moved on to
Washington, D.C. He later joined "Access Hollywood" in 2001 as a correspondent and got the co-anchor job almost four years ago.
