NEW YORK -- February 23, 2009: Westwood One is set to launch the new Fred Thompson Show on March 2 in the noon-2 p.m. slot, and it has more than 125 stations already on board, including stations in the DC, Dallas, Houston, and Minneapolis markets.
"Of all the radio talkers out there, how many can say they've debated in the Senate, campaigned for President of the United States, had a successful TV career on Law & Order, and shared the screen with Morgan Freeman, Bruce Willis, Robert De Niro, and Sissy Spacek?" said Westwood One EVP/News & Talk Programming Bart Tessler. "Thompson is as unique as they come, and that will make for exceptional radio."
Westwood One EVP/Affiliate Sales Dennis Green said, "This will be the biggest talk radio launch since Bill O'Reilly. We have not even hit the air, and radio stations from coast to coast are ready for Fred Thompson to speak to their audiences about the issues that matter."
Thompson is a former Senator and was a 2008 Republican presidential candidate, and spent played DA Arthur Branch on NBC's Law & Order from 2002-2007. His Westwood One show will offer political and pop-culture talk, interviews, and listener calls.
And slow paced is bad somehow?
I give him six months of goose-egg ratings on low power stations.
Romney was the hardest campaigner during the primary season and cleaned Thompson's clock. Unfortunately, the conservatives were so split that a lefty like Juan McCain was able to get the nomination with fewer votes than he had when he lost to W in 2000.
Okay, let me put it this way.
I was DRIVING and didn’t want to fall asleep at the wheel.
He didn’t pretend to run... He was the best and ONLY candidate that should have gotten support from Republicans, especially looking back in hindsight. The media derailed his casmpaign with lies and the uninformed BELIEVED those lies. Apparently even some Freepers did as well. The way I see it, is if you weren’t for Duncan Hunter or Fred Thompson, YOU were part of the problem and the reason we are in the situation we are in right now. THIS IS A LESSON FOR THE NEXT ELECTION so please DO NOT BELIEVE THE MEDIA AND DO NOT VOTE OR SUPPORT ANOTHER RINO CANDIDATE!
Unfortunately Fred is on at the same time as Rush. You can listen live on Radio Time or download RedButton (14 day free trial - $29 to buy) and record it to listen later.
True, Romney IS the hardest workin' man in the health care socialisation business.
Good idea! I’ve recorded all Fred’s shows so far and listen to them when I have time. Pay no attention to the Romneybots on this thread - it’s a good show.
If you can't post them, any idea where I can hear them?
I wonder if he will keep his listeners waiting and waiting after the show starts with some sort of "stealth-program." Then he can finally come on towards the end of the show after everyone has stopped listening, talk slowly for a few minutes, and finally be completely dumbfounded about where everybody went. Just like his "campaign."
I found a on-line replay that starts around 9 or 10 at night, sorry I don’t have the link handy and I’m heading out of town here for a few days.
Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for the ping and the links! I can’t wait to listen in! :)
Wow. The Romney-bots and Hunter-hats are STILL just as nasty as they were during the primaries.
You’d think they’d finally give it a rest, fercryinoutloud.
It's as scripted as an episode of L&O.
