The Ed Schultz Show is the program to consider -- It's the fastest growing Progressive Talk Radio Show In North America (It's on in Chicago too)...Forget about Air America...Big Eddie is in well over 100 markets as I type this today...He's backed by the guys that used to work for Clear Channel (and they built the Rush Limbaugh franchise)...Ed Schultz is taking market share from Rush, Hannity and O'Reilly all over the country...;-)

Ex-CC Execs Buy Ed Schultz Show

JUNE 13, 2005 -
Former Clear Channel Radio CEO Randy Michaels and former ABC Radio and Premiere Radio Networks vp Stu Krane announced Monday they had purchased The Ed Schultz Show from Democracy Radio. The Progressive Talk radio show is the first acquisition for P1, formed two months ago by Michaels and Krane, who serve as CEO and president of the new content company.
With Schultz, P1 is off to a solid start with the fastest-growing show in Progressive Talk radio. Debuted January 2004, three months before the launch of Air America Radio, Schultz’s three-hour show broadcast from Fargo, N.D. currently airs on 95 radio stations, including 8 of the top 10 markets. Jones Radio Networks, which distributed Schultz’s show and handled national sales, will continue to represent the show to national advertisers.
Michaels and Krane, who teamed in the early days of The Rush Limbaugh Show, began talking about forming a content company about six months ago. In addition to radio programming, P1 will be seeking out content for other distribution platforms, including Internet, cell phones or iPods, said Krane. “We’re looking for programs that can breakout or specailty programs with a unique advertiser appeal.”
P1 is based in Covington, Ky. and New York. |
