FORMER PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, U.N. AMBASSADOR ALAN KEYES TO JOIN MSNBC

“Alan Keyes Is Making Sense” to Air Weeknights at 10PM, ET Beginning January 21st

SECAUCUS, NJ- January 7, 2002- Former Presidential Candidate and Reagan-era U.S. Ambassador at the United Nations, Alan Keyes has joined MSNBC as host of a new one-hour commentary show, “Alan Keyes Is Making Sense,” weeknights at 10PM, ET. Erik Sorenson, president and general manager, MSNBC, made the announcement today.

“We're excited that Alan is bringing his highly-regarded grasp of global issues and his larger-than-life personality to MSNBC," said Sorenson. "This network has distinguished itself as the cable news channel for smart young viewers interested in knowing about their world. Alan's deep knowledge, incredible capacity to frame debate, and provocative views will be a great addition to an already-terrific primetime lineup.”

“Alan Keyes Is Making Sense” is a live one-hour talk show providing in-depth analysis and commentary on the issues of the day from politics, economics to the various cultural hot buttons. The program will originate from Washington, D.C.

Keyes received his Ph.D in Government Affairs in 1979 from Harvard University. He served during the Reagan Administration in the U.S. Foreign Service and on the staff of the National Security Council before being appointed Ambassador to the United Nations Economic and Social Council in 1983. He was the Assistant Secretary of State for International Organization Affairs from 1985-87.

Alan Keyes is also a two-time Republican presidential candidate and two-time Republican Senate nominee from the state of Maryland. His greatest public exposure came most recently through his dynamic and much extolled performances in the 2000 Republican Presidential Debates.

For the past 10 years, Keyes has reached a nationwide audience each day through his nationally syndicated radio program, “The Alan Keyes Show: America’s Wake-Up Call.” He is the author of two critically acclaimed books, Masters of the Dream: The Strength and Betrayal of Black America and Our Character, Our Future: Reclaiming America’s Moral Destiny, with a third to be released soon. Keyes and his wife of 19 years, Jocelyn, reside in Maryland with their three children: Francis, Maya and Andrew.

Keyes joins MSNBC’s weeknight line-up, which also includes:

 “The Abrams Report” at 6PM, ET: The latest headlines and investigation on the American strike against terrorism.
 “Hardball with Chris Matthews” at 7PM, ET: A provocative look at the politicians and newsmakers from the business, entertainment and media arenas that have helped shape the country’s political and social landscape.
 Emmy Award-winning “The News with Brian Williams” at 8PM, ET: The only comprehensive live hour-long nightly newscast in primetime. Using the worldwide resources of NBC News, Williams provides viewers with in-depth coverage of the day’s top news stories; interviews with the world’s newsmakers; and a first-hand look at tomorrow’s headlines from around the world.
 “A Region in Conflict with Ashleigh Banfield” at 9PM, ET: Host Ashleigh Banfield takes viewers inside various regions in conflict for a close-up look at the people and their struggle for survival, the politics, and the struggle for power.
“America at War with Lester Holt” at 11PM, ET: The only live news-hour which recaps the days headlines and the most recent developments in the war on terrorism.

I would love to see Dr. Keyes debate Ann Coulter on the use of military tribunals to try suspected terrorists arrested in the US. I believe they differ somewhat on that matter and personally I tend to agree more with Ann on the issue although I think Keyes makes some good points. It would be a spirited debate.

It would be a good demonstration of how two staunch conservatives who don't compromise on their beliefs can disagree and have a rational debate on an issue without taking things personally. A lesson many people need to learn.

Actually, I'm looking forward to it. It will let people get a long look at Mr. Keyes. And since they rerun those shows all night long, there won't be much debate about what he DID or DID NOT say.

I agree 100%.

"Keyes should sign me up!" SIGN YOU up for what? The irrelevant express! This self-serving bozo CAN'T even finish in the money in three-horse race. The majority of his campaign contributions will come from the DEMONrats - just to see his rhetoric add some chaos & amusement into the Republican Primary.

LOL! Do you always spend so much of your time on things you think are irrelevant?

As for the bozo comment, you wouldn't by any chance be the president's father?

;-P

"The guy's so shrill and off-putting I can't imagine him surviving long on TV, unless he learns to tone it down a bit." AS I SAID earlier, DEMONrats won't watch him (ever), and most pubbies won't even change the channel on to MSPMS. He's doomed to failure - way sooner than later!!

Keyes should sign me up! I will do everything in my power to also defeat Bush in '04. Democrats cannot hurt the conservative movement, but Bush the Brutus definitely can.

I couldn't disagree with your feelings more but at least you are the only one that openly admits that Keyes is anti-Bush. I respect you for that no matter how differently I feel.

I will disagree with any politicians whom I dont agree with. The biggest problem with the Bush fans here is the level of personal attacks on anyone who disagrees with Keyes. If they disagree with Keyes politically, I can understand. They think that attacking Keyes, or other conservatives who disagree with Bush, personally would somehow elevate their man. How naive and stupid of them!

This is a reaction to Fox.

The liberal networks (on cable now, the networks later) now realize their bias is costing them money.

CNN hired Major Garrett (formerly of washtimes) and some others to counter Fox.

We are being heard!

If you have so much faith in Bush, then why do you care so much about a guy who cant even finish third in a three man race. Isnt he irrelevant compared to Mr 90% approval rating, unless of course you know that Bush's conservatism is pretty vacuous and will be exposed. If Keyes is able to do that in a national setting, Bush wont find anyone to vote for him.

MSNBC is looking to garner Conservative Show Hosts, seeing as they are being deserted by the audience who seems to prefer Fox News better. Fox News, in a swit because they have been accused of being too conservative hire Geraldo and Greta. Times, they are a changin'. It's getting hard to keep up with the musical chairs being played at Fox and the big 3.

MSNBC is now more "conservative" than Fox, which isn't saying much. FOX sold-out on its conservative audience with its hiring of the propagandist communist pigs -- Geraldo and Greta!

Granted, Keyes may have an annoying style, but he's still a principled conservative and I'd watch his show any night over Greta's. FOX sucks now!

Look at post 194, the one right on top of yours. I corrected the first one, but meant the second one.
