Westwood One is pleased to announce the debut of The Fred Thompson Show on
March 2, 2009. The show will replace The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly when the program ends its successful six-year run on February 27, 2009. Former U.S. senator and 2008 presidential candidate, Fred Thompson will share his views on politics, topical issues, pop culture and water cooler stories, as well as welcome guest interviews and take listener calls. The Fred Thompson Show will be a two-hour daily talk show and will air live Noon-2pm, Monday - Friday from the Westwood One studios in Washington DC. "There is no prerequisite for a great talk show host, but if I were going to make one up, senator, presidential candidate, federal prosecutor, radio commentator, film and TV star would be a pretty good start," said
Bart Tessler, EVP Westwood One News & Talk Programming.
A big improvement in the making.
In fairness to Bill O'Reilly, he tries to think independently -- and to that extent he has made some contribution as an exception to the predictable pablum of the liberal mass media. But O'Reilly seems to lack a consistent set of political and economic principles, and he tries to make up for his lack of consistency by being loud.
I don't know whether Thompson's show will be a hit, but he will certainly bring a coherent, commonsense philosophy to the microphone.
That is very good news, indeed. IF I had been given a chance to have Fred Thompson on the ballot in Nevada, I would have voted him into office with about, oh -- maybe a million and a half other Nevadans, out of our approx two million registered voters. He has good sense and a way of explaining things so that absolutely anyone can understand what he is saying and the meaning behind it.
He will be a great addition to those that we already listen to, so that we an get a rounded and comprehensive outlook about what is happening in the world and our nation.
