Acquisition of Westwood One programs After
Westwood One was bought out by
Dial Global, Compass picked up several of Westwood One's former weekend music programs. Among those were
The Beatle Years with Bob Malik,
Out of Order with Jed the Fish, and
Off the Record with Uncle Joe Benson. After Westwood One reformatted its longtime Saturday-night program
Country Gold with a new host (first with
Randy Owen, now with
Terri Clark), Compass hired the show's previous host, Josh "Rowdy Yates" Holstead, to host a continuation of the previous format under the name
The Original Country Gold. Compass also owns the rights to
The Deep End with Nick Michaels, which was not previously a Westwood One program. After Dial Global merged with
Cumulus Media Networks, Compass picked up additional programs, including the
M. G. Kelly syndicated program library (except
American Hit List) and the
Rick Dees Weekly Top 40.
Big D and Bubba, previously distributed by
Premiere Networks, also was added to the Compass lineup; Compass now offers other country dayparts as well, including a midday show hosted by Carsen and
Taste of Country Nights evenings. ===Acquisition of
Wall Street Journal This Morning=== In November 2014, Compass announced the acquisition of
The Wall Street Journal This Morning, a morning
drive time national news and business program, which had been syndicated by the
Wall Street Journal Radio division. The program was renamed ''
This Morning, America's First News with Gordon Deal''. The first broadcast under the new title was January 2, 2015.

Atlanta Falcons,
Buffalo Bills,
Kansas City Chiefs,
Philadelphia Eagles,
Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and
Washington Redskins. The
Detroit Lions and
Arizona Cardinals were added to the agreement in 2010. An additional four teams added their names to Compass's NFL coverage for the 2011 season- the
Chicago Bears,
Denver Broncos,
San Francisco 49ers, and
Seattle Seahawks. By virtue of the teams involved in the two international games, Compass Media Networks held exclusive national broadcast rights to both the
NFL International Series and
Bills Toronto Series games in 2011. Compass Media expanded their coverage to 60 games a season with the new contracts.
NCAA football and basketball coverage Dial Global and Compass announced they would offer a slate of NCAA football games beginning in the 2009 season, competing with
ESPN Radio, Sports USA Radio Network, Dial Global, Nevada Sports Network, and
Touchdown Radio productions. No specific conference affiliation was announced, and the schedule featured games with teams from the
Pac-12 Conference,
Western Athletic Conference,
Big Ten Conference,
Big East Conference,
Big 12 Conference,
Conference USA, and the
Southeastern Conference. In December 2009, Compass Media announced they had gained the national radio broadcasting rights for the
Texas Bowl. The Texas Bowl rights lasted only one season as
ESPN Radio took over the rights in 2010. By 2012, Compass Media was only broadcasting games from the Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12, and SEC conferences. In July 2009, Compass Media announced they would expand their sports coverage to include NCAA basketball, competing with Westwood One. Compass is unable to gain rights to any NCAA Tournament games, however they announced that they signed a contract with the Big Ten Conference to be the exclusive radio provider of the first and second rounds of the Big Ten Tournament in 2010 and all tournament games beginning in 2011. In 2011, Compass Media Sports increased their coverage of the Big Ten conference by inking a multi-year deal to broadcast the Big Ten Championship game, meaning the Big Ten Basketball Tournament and Big Ten Championship game will be on the same radio affiliates nationwide and at the network's website.

Major League Baseball's
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim to air 25 games out-of-market throughout the team's 2012 season.

Steve Phillips and
Darryl Hamilton to serve as analysts. For the 2013 season, Compass acquired rights to select
