The company described the new program as a fresh approach to conservative talk radio, emphasizing Coglianese’s deep knowledge of Washington, D.C., and his ability to engage with listeners through interviews and live call-ins.

“The VINCE Show and VINCE podcast are set to redefine conservative talk with their compelling mix of Vince’s signature blend of insight into and knowledge of the inner workings of Washington, D.C., in-depth interviews, and live caller interactions,” the release stated.

“Vince’s authenticity and relatability ensure that every discussion is both engaging and thought-provoking, creating a vibrant community of informed listeners who have a front-row seat to the most important conversations of the day.”

Coglianese has been a prominent figure in conservative media for nearly two decades.

He currently hosts The Vince Coglianese Show on WMAL-FM in Washington, D.C., where he has built a strong following.

His new role will expand his reach, taking over Bongino’s widely syndicated time slot from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. Eastern.

Bongino, a former Secret Service agent and outspoken conservative commentator, is stepping away from broadcasting to take on the No. 2 position at the FBI.

His decision to return to government service has been met with praise from his colleagues, including Coglianese.

“His decency and sacrifice are a true testament to his character,” Coglianese said in the announcement regarding Bongino’s new role. “Now we take things to the next level.”

Bongino gave Coglianese a strong endorsement on Tuesday’s episode of The Dan Bongino Show, assuring listeners that they would be in good hands.

“He is fantastic,” Bongino said. “I promise you I only bring you the best people. You are gonna love him. Very, very, very smart guy – very intellectual show.”

Bongino also noted that Coglianese had been on his radar for some time and that he was confident in his ability to carry forward the program’s momentum.

“I love Vince, he’s been a good friend to me,” Bongino told listeners.

“You’ve heard him fill in on the radio show. I’ve gotten all your positive feedback. There’s a method to my madness. I always intended on bringing on Vince as a talent regardless before I even knew about this spot.”

With The VINCE Show set to premiere next month, Coglianese expressed enthusiasm about stepping into a major role in conservative media.

“I’m deeply conscious of the history-making legacies of these broadcasts, which is why we will be delivering the ultimate 3-hour live radio show and 1-hour podcast for the millions of Americans who demand the truth,” Coglianese stated.

“I promise this will be the most entertaining, informative, and efficient way to equip yourself in the golden age of America.”

As Bongino transitions into his new role at the FBI, Coglianese will take the helm of one of the most influential talk radio slots in the country, continuing the conservative conversation for millions of listeners nationwide.
