"I’m excited for the opportunity to extend our partnership with this talented, award-winning team of radio pros," Alex Cadelago, Regional Vice President, Cumulus Media said in a release. "It’s satisfying to know that KRBE and 'The Roula & Ryan Show with Eric' will continue entertaining Houstonians during their morning commute, as they have for the past twenty years!"

"This show truly is the Heartbeat of Houston, as they prove every day. Listen once and you’ll understand what they mean to our city and what Houston means to them."
"We are so excited to add Eric’s name to the marquee of our show. He has earned it and deserves it," Texas Radio Hall of Famer Roula Christie said. "Eric Rowe is the best executive producer in radio. He is hilarious on the air and a genius behind the scenes. We are also thrilled to commit to KRBE for another five years! This will make us the longest-running morning show in the history of KRBE. It is our home, and we love that we are further cementing our bond with this city. Thanks to our Cumulus family Dave Milner, Brian Philips, Leslie Whittle, Alex Cadelago, and our agent Paul Anderson for always supporting us.
