By Corey Deitz, About.com

Westwood One Radio personality Jim Bohannon will celebrate 20 years on the air with the network this month with the 20th anniversary of the debut of America in the Morning on September 17, 2004 and The Jim Bohannon Show on September 22, 2004. To mark the occasion some of Bohannon’s past noteworthy guests from politics, media, and entertainment will be saluting him on the air.

Throughout his 20 years on the air with Westwood One, Bohannon has covered major news events including presidential summits, political conventions, shuttle accidents and more. Bohannon has also broadcast both America In The Morning and The Jim Bohannon Show live from locations around the globe from Graceland to Moscow with guests including some of the top names from government to show business.

Westwood One’s America in the Morning airs on 313 stations nationwide every weekday from 5 a.m. to 6 a.m. ET. The Jim Bohannon Show airs on 309 radio stations nationwide Monday through Friday, 10 p.m. - 1 a.m. ET and features guests and listener call-ins discussing topics from current events and politics to entertainment and pop culture.

“It's hard to believe it's been 20 years! With the help of many people and the support of hundreds of radio stations, we've come a long way,” said Jim Bohannon. “I am proud and honored to be a part of these shows and I look forward to 20 more years.” Bohannon is a 37-year veteran of broadcasting. A self- described "militant moderate," Bohannon was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 2003, was named one of "The 100 Most Important Radio Talk Show Hosts in America" three years in a row by Talkers Magazine, and was nominated for the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Marconi Radio Award for the Network or Syndicated Personality of the Year.
