Ron Reagan added as permanent Air America host

Air America Media adds a new show next week when former first son Ron Reagan is added to the regular programming schedule. “The Ron Reagan Show” will air weeknights from 8-9P ET beginning Monday, September 8. The new gig carves an hour off of “The Rachel Maddow Show,” which airs from 6-8P ET. Maddow begins a new weeknight show on MSNBC next week as well in the same timeslot.

Reagan has been reporting from the 2008 Republican National Convention on all Air America programs originating from Minneapolis-St. Paul and co-anchoring the evening coverage with David Bender. He also is a regular panelist on Air America’s “7 Days in America,” and guest-hosted “American Afternoon” in the spring.

“Sitting next to Ron this week as he co-anchored our coverage at the Republican National Convention made me realize his biting commentary and unique experiences were a ‘must’ addition to our talk line-up,” said Bill Hess, senior vice president of programming for Air America Media. “Our affiliate stations will benefit from his insight, story-telling talents and entertaining style during this historic election season and beyond.”

“There are too few progressive voices in the media and Air America plays an important and vital role,” said Reagan. “I’m proud and pleased to be involved as Air America expands and solidifies its position in the media landscape.”

it makes my ears bleed

Besides, the whole show is over in November.

So the first two hours will be Rachel.

somewhat lighter. And I'm so glad to have Ron Reagan's podcasts to listen to!

Her third hour has only been around for about 6 months now and she misses a lot of it when she's off on Olbermann's show.

I think 'Morning Ron' has a nice ring.

AAR has been treating very badly recently and he really worked for them. I doubt if I will be listening because that time is when KO is on.

ya got that right.....and speaking of right, there are at least 4 channels on XM that have right leaning or out right, rightwing channels!!! and what's ours America Left??? That it, one channel??? It's good to have him on. :patriot:
