Rochelle — The Midwest-based syndicated radio program The Michael Koolidge Show (www.koolidge.com) just added Bloomington-Normal’s AM 1230 WJBC to its growing stable of affiliates, which will air its daily broadcasts from noon to 2 p.m. Syndication began Monday, Jan. 25.
“We couldn’t be more excited to join WJBC. I’m been trying to break into the Bloomington-Normal market for years and I’m thrilled that Cumulus’s WJBC decided to pick up the show,” Michael Koolidge said.
TMKS has been a ratings juggernaut in its largest market, Rockford, for the better part of a decade and is independently syndicated on over a dozen stations in the Midwest, including Decatur, Springfield, Quincy and Kankakee. Though mostly heard in Illinois, the show has a strong following in Southern Wisconsin and Central Michigan as well, where it’s heard on Hillsdale’s WRFH. 
TMKS hits the road frequently to broadcast from various locations throughout the country, including the annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C. (this year from Orlando, Florida), national political conventions (both Democrat and Republican) in Denver, Tampa, Minneapolis, Cleveland, Philadelphia et al, both Cubs and White Sox Spring Training in Arizona, the annual SHOT Show in Las Vegas, and most recently covered the 2021 U.S. Senate runoff elections in person in Georgia.

“We don’t like to be chained to our studios and so we try to get out in the thick of things as much as possible, global pandemics considered. Our audience is the patriotic citizens of small towns, of mid-sized cities, and of rural America,” Koolidge said. “Regardless of who’s in office, at any level, we will continue to be a strong voice among the forgotten men and women here in what we proudly call ‘Fly-Over USA,’ and we’re not going anywhere.”
The addition of Koolidge’s show on Cumulus Broadcasting’s WJBC was instigated by Operations Manager Dan Westhoff
“We are very excited to be adding The Michael Koolidge Show to our lineup. Michael’s been very successful throughout Illinois and the Midwest and we can’t wait to have him on WJBC,” Westhoff said.
Recent guests on the show include David Marcus from The Federalist, Kerry Picket from The Washington Examiner, Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams, and Congressman Darin LaHood (IL-18).
