The Mark Levin Show is a conservative talk radio show hosted by Mark Levin. The program is broadcast nationwide on Westwood One and reaches an estimated seven million weekly listeners, according to an estimate from Talkers Magazine. The Talkers estimate puts Levin's listenership in a tie with The Glenn Beck Radio Program for fourth most-listened-to talk radio show in the United States and, counting all radio formats, tied for ninth most-listened-to radio program in the United States.
Levin began his radio hosting career in 2002 as a Sunday afternoon host on WABC. WABC assigned Levin to fill in starting on June 16, 2003 after the station dropped The Savage Nation on the 7–9 p.m. timeslot weeknights. On September 2, 2003, his show moved to the 6–7 p.m. timeslot on WABC. Levin's WABC program expanded to 2 hours starting May 17, 2004.
On January 30, 2006, ABC Radio Networks began syndicating the show. Initially, ABC expanded the program to three other stations, including WMAL in Levin's local Washington Metropolitan Area. On February 2, 2009, the program expanded to 3 hours (6–9 p.m. ET). ABC's radio assets later changed hands to Citadel Broadcasting in 2007, then to Cumulus Media in 2011; in 2013, Cumulus combined all of its radio assets under the banner of Westwood One. Levin signed a five-year contract extension with Westwood One in January 2015.
The Mark Levin Show can be heard on over 150 stations and the SIRIUS XM Patriot channel. Levin's show has been rated number one in its time slot in New York, Chicago, Detroit, Dallas–Fort Worth and Washington, D.C.
