### Zach Sang and The Gang/Zach Sang Show (2012-2022)

In 2012, Sang launched a terrestrial radio show called "Zach Sang and The Gang" with WYD Media and Westwood One alongside Dan Zolot, Heather "Heff" Connor, and Shelley Rome. It rebranded as the "Zach Sang Show" in March 2016, Shelley Rome left the show for Z100 and was replaced by Jill Gutowitz. The show was heard live every night on over 70 stations in The United States and 13 in Canada, and for its first years was based in the CBS Broadcast Center before moving to the Westwood One studios in Los Angeles. The show, which focused its audience towards 12-34-year olds, aired weekdays from 7pm-midnight, and a 4-hour weekend version of the show featuring a compilation of segments aired in the past week was available at one point. Years later Jill and Heather left, they would eventually be replaced by Ricki Sanchez and Bargain Blaire who would both leave the show in late 2020 and 2021. There were also YouTube and digital placements made of interviews that reach a wider audience. 95SX's Johnny O filled in for Sang for the first two weeks of 2022 before Westwood One ended Sang's show after ten years.
On March 1, 2022, Sang posted a new logo for his show and teased its revival on his Twitter account which was later reposted on the show's Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram accounts.
