“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.

Heard him speak as the keynote speaker at a prolife conference in '90, and many times since. He had a public voice a long time before little George stepped up to bat. He didn't bash Bush or Mclame in 2000; he simply made their lukewarm, mushy positions look plum silly.
Marianne Fogelson but she since married. I miss N.E.T. when Americas Voice took over and Paul lost control it self destructed in liberalism. I didn't watch the station to hear Bob Beckell, Ellen Ratner, or especially Larry Flynnt. I think the network was purposely ran off the air because it stepped on some high up GOP toes. Those toes should have been stomped on harder IMO. BTW did you catch the John Lofton vs James Carville interview one night? It was priceless.
And you are correct on when the demise started. I'm definitely not privy to much of the inside story or whatever, but I think a part of it may have occured when Paul was having such terrible back problems...he required surgery, and I know there was times he had to be away.
Bleck....when they start with giving the liberals 'equal' chances, that's buzz words for B.S. A liberal by definition doesn't believe in 'equal'!!!
When they started eliminating the voices we wanted, there was no reason to stick around. I will suggest that there was a purposeful, behind the scene, effort to eliminate Paul and what he stood for. I don't have any proof, but the long slow process of connecting one dot to the next and then one over there shows up sort of thing.
I won't be watching :). I wouldn't watch Keyes for any reason.
I'm so psyched! I've already notified everyone on my e-mail list. And I'm so glad I'm still driving around with THREE Keyes bumper stickers on my car! Now, like Rowdee, I have to get MSNBC. In fact, now I have to get cable. (Good thing I just made my last car payment -- I know where some of the money's going.)
This truly is wonderful news. Just getting the message out, just getting the name out -- so much can happen with this venture. I'll keep praying.
Congratulations to you and Alan.
No stink bombs like the one Keyes delivered here at the DFW Hyatt in August, though, Richard.
The flowers will wilt in a hurry.
Will be GREAT T.V. Go Alan !
..and I for one have greatly missed ya!! :-)
Good to see you, my friend.
Drop by www.declaration.net in the next few days ... I'll be posting the Paul Rahe piece praising GWB on the early success of the war on terrorism, and there should be other interesting things.
Best to you in the New year,
Richard F.
