Al Franken has signed on with
Central Air Media and will host a show weekdays from 12-3. Guess who else is on at that time? Rush Limbaugh.
Here's a little bit more...
This ends a year of speculation about whether Franken would jump into radio. "Our long national nightmare is over," said Franken. "I've signed.
"My first priority is to get sued by a right wing jerk in order to generate interest in my new show, The O'Franken Factor," Franken said. Our hope is to do drug-free talk radio, although I understand it's never been done.
"Quite simply, my plan is to alter the political landscape, drive this radical right-wing president from office and stand as a beacon for ordinary Americans who work hard and play by the rules. Short of that, I'd just like to get on in Albany," added Franken.
They've got the comedy portion nailed, now for the serious:
In addition, the network is unveiling another program in its lineup: "Champions of Justice," co-hosted by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Mike Papantonio, will bring a fresh and entertaining perspective to talk radio from the top legal minds in the country with a focus on informing Americans about the inner workings of corporations and how they influence our daily lives.
Looks like help is on the way!
