AM 1090 adds The Ron Reagan Show to lineup

One of our locals is back on the air (no, it's not Goldy but hopefully he's next), and a great addition to progressive talk radio. In a press release earlier today, AM 1090, Seattle's Air America affiliate made it official: the Ron Reagan show will be airing at 5 p.m. weekdays, and syndicated nationally, beginning September 8.

Ron Reagan is a longtime resident of Seattle, who has hosted radio programs here, as well as, a daily TV show on MSNBC. His voice strengthens an already stellar lineup on Air America. Here's more from the press release:

Progressive Talk, AM1090 (KPTK) has announced the launch of The Ron Reagan Show, to be broadcast live from the KPTK studios each weekday afternoon at 5:00 PM beginning on Monday, September 8. The one-hour program will be nationally syndicated through Air America Radio.

“Ron has joined KPTK and Air America during special election and convention coverage, and listeners have been pleased and excited by his insight, story-telling ability, and entertaining style”, said Paul Fredricks, KPTK Operations Manager. “He has previously hosted radio programs in Seattle and a daily TV show on MSNBC, and also did a fantastic job as the moderator of this years AM1090 Townhall Forum "We The People". “

In a related announcement, The Rachel Maddow Show, will now be broadcast weekdays from 3:00-5:00PM, PT, to allow Rachel more time to bring truth to the masses through her own nightly television show on MSNBC.

Congratulations Ron and good luck with the new show. We'll be listening.
