National Automotive Roundtable

The American Automotive Industry has never faced greater challenges. The government loans, the reorganization, the workers, the products, the dealers; what is the future for an industry so important to our nation's economy? These are the questions we'll explore during a special two-hour "National Automotive Roundtable".

The "National Automotive Roundtable" is taking place on Tuesday, January 13, 2009 from 7pm through 9pm EDT on News/Talk 760 WJR and other radio stations throughout the country.

Also with WJR being an ABC affiliate, my guess is it can be heard on many ABC affiliates nationwide....

Gee, I wonder what kind of car would a retirement home and healthcare giant build on the side. What’s wrong with this picture.

Having Paul W as host is a good reason NOT to listen to the show. He is so full of himself I doubt anyone else will get to talk.

I unfortunately have to listen to this maroon in the morning on my drive into work. I’d rather listen to Steve Courtney anyday.

Bechman’s good, but I don’t get a chance to listen to him since he moved into the 9am slot...BUT...please keep Warren Pierce off the air....his voice reminds me of 50’s era radio.

They just can’t bring themselves to say that government is the problem in the auto industry... Starting with labor.

I’ve been listening to this and it is nothing but a big giant infomercial paid for with taxpayer (bailout) money. These clowns are nothing more than cheerleaders for nanny state interventionism. What a joke. Is this the best PR money can buy for 16 billion?

There is really no difference between Gettlefinger (the union guy) and the CEO’s. They are all on the same side. They all want socialized medicine, global warming regulations (cap & trade), and protection from competition.

Screw all of them. I hope they go broke.
