Washington, D.C. (January 8, 2007) ? ABC Radio Networks today announced the national syndication of The Ric Edelman Show. After 16 years on Washington, D.C.'s News/Talk WMAL, the award-winning Ric Edelman Show will be available nationally starting Saturday, January 13, debuting on eight of America's leading News/Talk stations: WABC New York, KABC Los Angeles, WLS Chicago, KSFO San Francisco, WBAP Dallas, WJR Detroit, KPRC Houston and of course the flagship WMAL Washington.
"It's an honor to bring the show to a national audience," said Ric Edelman. "But the program is not about money or Wall Street. It's about helping people achieve their goals - buy a home, pay for college, prepare for retirement, care for elders, get out of debt, and enjoy financial security. This is a show everyone needs because, after all, money doesn't come with instructions."
Past winner of the Achievement in Radio award for Best Talk Show Host in Washington, D.C., Edelman adds humor and lots of personality to his vast understanding of personal finance, giving his listeners comprehensive, educational advice that is both entertaining and informative.
"We are so pleased to work with Ric on the national syndication of his show," said John Rosso, Senior Vice President of Affiliate Relations for ABC Radio Networks. "Ric's financial advice has helped millions of people and his radio show has been a long-standing success story for WMAL. The immediate support we've received in eight of the top 10 markets is phenomenal."
Edelman is one of the most highly acclaimed financial advisors in the country. Barron's has three times (2004, 2005 and 2006) ranked him among America's 100 top financial advisors, and Research Magazine inducted him into its Financial Advisor Hall of Fame in 2004. Bloomberg Wealth Manager named his firm, Edelman Financial Services LLC, one of the largest financial planning and investment management firms in the nation, managing $3.5 billion for consumers nationwide.
Among his many accomplishments, Edelman is also a #1 New York Times best-selling author and syndicated columnist who has written five books on personal finance, including Ordinary People, Extraordinary Wealth, and the personal finance classic The Truth About Money.
Each week, The Ric Edelman Show takes calls from listeners. Ric answers their questions, covering such topics as how you can retire in comfort; get out of debt; when to lease a car; why you should never pay off your mortgage; how to pay for college for kids or grandkids; determining if you have the right insurance; choosing a financial advisor; understanding wills, trusts and estate planning; and, of course, how to invest successfully - and safely.
