My nightly mission is simple: to seek out great stories from great storytellers \u2014 and to share a few of my own along the way.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Westwood One President Collin Jones commented, \u201cMcGraw Milhaven is a trusted voice with a remarkable ability to connect with listeners. His deep understanding of the issues, combined with his engaging style and journalistic integrity, make him the ideal host to lead America at Night into the future, carrying forward the spirit and tradition of this iconic daypart.
