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 give up EV. You will twist, spin and rant without ever stopping to think about what's said. Unless a Christian is called a RELIGIOUS cultist it is no more offensive than calling someone duped or naive or spellbound. Of course I don't expect you will comprehend that. You will keep going back to "cultist" as in religious cult when common sense should tell you that was not the connotation.

Again, I give up. The circle is getting worn out and boring. Best to you, EV. I know you have sacrificed much for Dr. Keyes. I only hope it's worth it for you. Really.....I wish you the best.

And I for you, truly.

I hope we all can come to the place where we realize that the republic we are all responsible for self-governing is far more important than any individual...you, me, Keyes, Bush...whoever....

Our posterity is worth fighting for, my fellow freeper.

Good night.

To: EternalVigilance,Keyes for President,rdf,Clinton's a Liar,seattlesue,Benighted,
782 posts or so....another day closer to the premier of Dr. Keyes show.

I sure hope issues of importance in many areas of life and government will be discussed--and even that the time frame could be increased so that real, indepth discussions can be had. It's a shame there are factions who prefer the shallow personality 'policies', or factions who prefer the shallow designer clothing 'policies', or factions preferring the shallow material wealth 'policies', while perhaps entertaining in some ways, have absolutely nothing to do with the price of tea in china or the terrible spiral towards total socialism this Country is in.

Bless all Sister Sals. I'm praying our Father deliver them of the log jams in their eyes...blindness can be such a terrible thing.

In the meantime, I really appreciate how, despite utter loathing and downright dislike, some folks have continued to B-I-G B-U-M-P this thread for Dr. Keyes and his new show. His television show provides another opportunity for truth and rightness to be shown to the American people....perhaps the sheeple can be weaned from the garbage put out by the liberal Hollywood set. Maybe the sheeple will realize its cool to have morals and values and principles; and to stand for them without retreating and backtracking; without having to be apologetic for being a Christian, etc.

Even conservatives who hate the messenger should love this message.

..."Even conservatives who hate the messenger should love this message"...

LOL, Keys for President.While reasonable people would perhaps feel this way, there are elements that not only hate the messenger, but they hate the 'typesetted message as well!!

I believe you, as well as future readers, will see the truth of this from the post just above yours.

I still maintain they are CLOSET KEYESTERS.

In any case, a B I G O L D B U M P for Dr. Keyes and the newest conservative television programming!!!

Some count posts, some count sheep, some count cigarette butts, some count footballs, some count bottles, some count...well, me, I'm just plain tired! No counting necessary! 'Nite, Southflank.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

CAL and Richard, I can't tell you how pleased I am to hear that the new show's format is to be under the control of Dr. Keyes, and not that of some leftist network nitwit(s). This is what I'd hoped for, and I'm looking forward to tuning in. My congratulations to all, and best wishes for a long, successful run.

Thanks for the heads-up, Rowdee! (T minus 9 days and counting....)

A delightful 48 degree Florida morning to everyone! A beginning of the last weekend on which we will not be able to look forward to a week of the Alan Keyes television show. In just a few more posts we will have had 800 posts on this thread.

I just found a brocure from my satellite service provider. Frantically thumbed through to see if PMSNBC was listed. It isn't.

Now for some good news, though.....they do have MSNBC!!! So, next week, I'll call and get it going!

HIP - HIP - HOORAY!!!! Whoooooooo Hoooooooo......can't wait to see and hear Dr. Keyes!

The latest television programming with a conservative bent--regardless of the subject matter!!!

MSNBC certainly deserves praise for their wise decision to air this show.

I wish them success with this show.

Oops.....wanted to mention I plan to e-mail MSNBC and tell them the ONLY reason I've subscribed is because of the Keyes programming. That if I find that MSNBC has decided to become a neutral news reporting agency, I'll be happy to watch other programs.

The rates for subscribing are really cheap by the year...$11.99!!! Geesh, it would be worth that just for a single month of Dr. Keyes!! LOL.

There's a short description of the ad on the current Keyes article thread.

I haven't seen it yet myself.
