Bill Press to end his daily radio show

Longtime liberal radio talk show host Bill Press is ending his daily program at the end of the month, he announced Thursday on Twitter.

“In case you missed it: We’ve had a great 14 year run of daily shows, but it’s time to transition,” Press, 79, wrote to his more than 32,000 followers. “The last daily show will be May 31, but don’t worry! My voice will still front and center as we enter the 2020 election. Big news coming soon!”

Cheers to the Bill Press Show, starring and produced by truly some of the nicest people I’ve met in my time in D.C. https://t.co/epyloVUNXP

End of an era.

My first radio experiences were on the Bill Press Show way back in 2011, where they’d have you on for long blocks of time to thoroughly discuss your story of the day.

Always loved going on. Thank you Bill! https://t.co/93Bnuqg0X1

said this before but since the show’s in its final month, just wanna reiterate Bill Press was one of the very few hosts who would have me on regularly back when I was an intern / less-than-nobody years ago & I’ve never forgotten that. A lot of other reporters’d say the same… https://t.co/kWT78IxOCM
