Accommodation Michigan introduces
CNN commentator Scott Jennings and Breitbart News editor-in-chief Alex Marlow are set to take over Salem Radio Network's noon-3 p.m. ET time slot formerly held by slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk Jan. 5, according to a press release issued Wednesday.
The prominent midday slot - once held by radio icon Rush Limbaugh - will replace "The Charlie Kirk Show," which will continue as a podcast on the Salem Podcast Network.
"These are some of the most important hours in talk radio, shaped by voices who didn't just fill time, but moved the national conversation," Jennings said in Salem Media's press release.
"I'm grateful to Salem for the trust they've placed in me to step into that legacy."

Jennings' current Salem Radio Network program will expand from 2-3 p.m. ET to 1-3 p.m. ET, while Marlow will air from noon to 1 p.m. ET.
Jennings said expanding the show gives him more time to "deliver serious analysis, honest debate and thoughtful conversations."
He also thanked "The Charlie Kirk Show" executive producer Andrew Kolvet and the Turning Point USA team for continuing Charlie Kirk's media legacy in the months following his assassination.

Marlow, who hosts a podcast on the Salem Podcast Network, expressed his longstanding love for talk radio, with many of the voices he admired - including Larry Elder, Dennis Prager and Charlie Kirk - coming through Salem Media.
"I have deep respect for the Salem audience as well as my on-air colleagues both as people and as broadcasters. I can't wait to get started," he said.

When reached for comment, Salem Media directed Fox News Digital to the full press release announcing the expansion.
"Salem has earned the trust of conservative audiences for decades, and we don't take that lightly. Scott Jennings and Alex Marlow each bring a distinct voice, a rare ability to engage audiences and real seriousness to the conversation. Together, they will carry the Salem legacy forward," Phil Boyce, senior vice president of content for Salem Media, said, calling the development an "important moment" for the company.
