ABOUT PHIL HENDRIE
Hendrie started out as a disc jockey. After 15 years working at stations across the country, he realized he hated what he was doing. He moved to Los Angeles and made his talk radio debut. In 1990, Hendrie introduced his first fictional character on air - an Iraqi, Raj Feenan. The Gulf War was happening and Feenan vociferously defended Saddam Hussein. Thinking he was a real person, listeners went ballistic and the phones lit up. An entire cast of characters evolved from that moment on, marking Hendrie's place in radio history. In addition, Hendrie is an actor who has worked on such shows as FOX's animated series King of the Hill and Futurama, David Mamet's The Unit, NBC's Teachers, and several others. He has also worked on the following motion pictures: soon-to-be-released Last Call, Semi-pro and Trey Parker's and Matt Stone's Team America: World Police. Hendrie has come a long way since doing voices as a child growing up in Altadena, Calif. Influenced by comedy greats such as Jackie Gleason, Lenny Bruce, and "Emperor" Bob Hudson, Hendrie has artfully carved his own niche in comedy and the spoken word format. |

| San Francisco, CA - Talk Radio Network's Michael Savage was among The Daily Telegraph of London's list of the 100 most influential conservatives in the U.S. for a second straight year. Savage moved up 16 spots this year to number 47 on the list, outranking Bill O'Reilly. Savage is ranked the third largest syndicated host in the nation, according to TALKERS Magazine, airing on over 310 stations nationwide, and in 40 of the top 50 metro markets.
The paper noted Savage, "shot to attention in Britain last year when Jacqui Smith, then Home Secretary, included his name in a list of 16 people who would be barred from entering the U.K. on the grounds that they were 'considered to be engaging in unacceptable behavior by seeking to provoke others to serious criminal acts and fostering hatred which might lead to inter-community violence."
Savage's latest book, Banned in Britain includes official correspondence that reveals a decision was made at the highest level of government to use his name to provide "balance" to a "least wanted" list dominated by Muslim extremists.
Savage, who had no plans to visit Britain, was at first perplexed, then infuriated - and then took legal action. Savage said, "To link me up with skinheads who are killing people in Russia, to put me in league with Hamas murderers who kill people on buses, is defamation." He added, "What does that say about the government of England? It says more about them than it says about me." He told Smith, "Shame on you for violating the laws of your own land. Shame on you for taking the land of the Magna Carta and turning it into a sort of mini North Korea."
The Michael Savage Show is a powerhouse in national syndication. An independent-minded individualist, Michael Savage fits no stereotype. He attacks big government and liberal media bias, but champions the environment and animal rights. Trained as a scientist, he holds Master's degrees in medical botany and medical anthropology and earned his Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley in Epidemiology and Nutrition Science.
Dr. Michael Savage is the only member of the American media profiled by the iconic New Yorker Magazine which appeared in the August 3, 2009 issue. Michael Savage was named 2007's recipient of TALKERS Magazine's Freedom of Speech Award. Previous recognitions for Savage include his numerous nominations for Syndicated Talk Host of the Year by Radio and Records Magazine.
Michael Savage is the author of over 20 books including four NY Times Best Sellers - The Savage Nation, The Enemy Within, Liberalism is a Mental Disorder, Political Zoo, Psychological Nudity, Savage Radio Stories and his most recent book is Banned in Britain.
The Michael Savage Show airs Live Monday through Friday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. PST (6 p.m. - 9 p.m. EST). |

| Las Vegas, NV - Talk Radio Network Enterprises', nationally syndicated host, Jerry Doyle's debut book "Have You Seen My Country Lately?" is now available. The book is released by Simon and Schuster and is available in various formats including an audio book. A special hardcover signed copy is now available on Jerry Doyle's website at http://www.jerrydoyle.com/site.
In keeping with his no-holds-barred on-air style, conservative radio talk show host Jerry Doyle has the guts to ask the tough questions. Why is our financial system failing, and what can we do about it? If President Barack Obama purports to mirror JFK, how come his policies are virtually the opposite of Kennedy's? Why are we teaching our children to strive for mediocrity with organized sports and games in which no one is allowed to win or lose? Will American capitalism survive Obama? And of course, "Have you seen my country lately?"
If you like your politics straight up, with a common-sense chaser and a shot of dry wit, you'll be galvanized and enlightened by Jerry Doyle's "Have You Seen My County Lately?" - the man, his story, and his insights into America today.
Michael Harrison from Talkers Magazine says, "Jerry Doyle is one of the true originals in a media scene marked by contrived sameness. This timely book captures and conveys his crystal clear insights, storybook life experience, and marvelous spirit."
"Have You Seen My Country Lately? is a brilliant, engaging, witty call to arms. If William F. Buckley had George Carlin's sense of humor, this is the kind of book he would have written," says Brad Thor, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Last Patriot.
The Jerry Doyle Show reaches 3.5 million listeners every week, according to Talkers Magazine (Spring 2009 Radio Audiences Report) and continues to reign as the fastest growing show in TRN Enterprises' history with over 200 stations, 16 in the top 25 metro markets.

He has starred in many made for TV movies, but is best known as the character Michael Garibaldi on the Emmy winning Sci-fi television series Babylon 5 which ran for five years.

We believe this unique journalistic team, combined with radio's ability to give the time and context needed to flesh out breaking stories will make for a powerful winning combination in talk radio.

"I took America's Morning News because the Washington Times is one of the country's most respected news sources, the hosts are already familiar to our audience, and TRN has a continuing track record of success for our station. This type of program is needed on radio. It looks like Talk Radio Network has another winner," says Benji Carle, General Manager, WBCF, Florence, AL.
"I took America's Morning News because...it's a perfect fit for our station. We need a strong morning news presence and this show will be a great way for us to establish that while still keeping an eye on our bottom line. America's Morning News fills a big void in morning radio. There's really nothing else like it. TRN has hit a home run with this show," says Tom Norris, Owner and General Manager, KIOL, Pittsburgh, KS.
Matt Caesar, Program Director for WXKT, Roylston, GA says, "Someone should have done this 10 years ago!"
Anchoring the news desk for the investigative team is 23 year ABC news veteran and multiple award winning host, Melanie Morgan (who just finished a 15 year stint as anchor in morning drive on ABC's Powerhouse, KSFO San Francisco). Melanie Morgan, Co-Anchor for America's Morning News says, "If somebody told me a year ago that I would be engaged in a radio syndication and newspaper collaboration - I would call them crazy. But the industry has changed and we are changing with it. John McCaslin is a fantastic partner to help make, break and drive the news cycle. His insider connections in our nation's capital, and my outsider view of government and politics brings a fresh perspective that has something for everyone. Our collective journalistic experience guarantees that you will always be entertained and informed on Washington's Morning News show."
At Melanie's side is veteran broadcaster and Times' award winning journalist John McCaslin who says, "Talk radio successfully launched my career in journalism. Now, after two decades of proudly penning one of Washington's most popular daily political columns, "Inside the Beltway," I am thrilled to be seated again behind the microphone -- alongside the esteemed Melanie Morgan, no less -- bringing the Talk Radio Network's millions of listeners the myriad offbeat stories, scoops and shenanigans I've shared with readers of the Washington Times, Los Angeles Times Syndicate, and Tribune Media Services."
Melanie Morgan has spent 33 years working for ABC TV and Radio, assigned to cover international hotspots, for which she has earned a reputation as a fearless journalist who faced many challenges, often in dangerous war time situations. For nearly 15 years, Morgan hosted a daily four-hour morning radio program on ABC's flagship station KSFO, San Francisco, the #1 AM radio market in the country (4th largest rated market overall). In 2006, Melanie was awarded the highest honor from the Associated Press with the Mark Twain award for Best Special Program "Voices of Soldiers" while in combat zones in Iraq. Morgan is also a frequent on-air contributor on the Fox News Channel.
John McCaslin was news director and anchor for Bee Broadcasting, Inc., where for two years he co-hosted the top-rated morning-drive radio show for KJJR-AM and KBBZ-FM. He has appeared on virtually every major television and radio network -- from MSNBC's "Hardball" with Chris Matthews to National Public Radio's "Weekend Edition Sunday," even VH1 -- offering insights in the nation's capital and its ever-changing cast of political characters. He's been a regular substitute host for Rush Limbaugh on the EIB Network, Sam Donaldson on ABC Radio, Mary Matalin on CBS Radio, and Michael Reagan and Oliver North with Radio America. He has also anchored a weekly news segment on ABC-7 News in Washington, D.C.

| Central Point, OR - The Syndicated Radio Asset Management Company launches a nationwide appeal for managerial talent, in a bid to revive the radio industry. The company is looking to reverse the drastic effects of the recession by giving top notch unemployed managerial talent a second chance to get back into the game.
The Syndicated Radio Asset Management Company's novel business model is based on applying the same syndication principles to managerial talent as to syndicated programming - raising asset values while lowering operating costs. This enables them to supply top talent to radio businesses on a contract basis, for a fraction of market rates - in exchange for a negotiable percentage of unsold inventory and performance fees.
As CEO of The Syndicated Radio Asset Management Company, Mark Masters explains, "We believe that syndicated management will revolutionise radio over the next 5 years just as syndicated programming has over the last 20. As we pull through the recession, syndicated management may be one of the few affordable solutions for many companies who share our belief that "superstar" managerial talent can make an exceptional difference to their fortunes."
Geoff Rich, the pioneering syndicator of Dr. Laura and a Tony Award winning Broadway producer is one of the leading industry personalities who make up the company's working group management board. Rich says, "The cruel irony of the meltdown in the radio industry is that some of the most gifted performers in the business are currently out of work - through no fault of their own - at a time when their brains and their energy are most sorely needed."
Legendary programmer Phil Boyce, now President of Programming for Talk Radio Network Syndications, is another member of the company's management board and shares the same vision. Phil says, "Mark Masters discussed syndicated management in 2002, then announced the initiative in 2007. It is now my honor to be part of this incredible multi-year program to syndicate radio management in the same way that on-air syndicated talent has been done."
The Syndicated Radio Asset Management Company is actively looking for proven high performance individuals in the areas of general management, marketing, sales, business development and programming, and guarantees confidentiality to clients and applicants alike. The company has also written to some 4,000 senior managers in radio companies across the U.S. asking them to refer high performance oriented former colleagues who are currently unemployed.
As Mark Masters CEO, puts it, "We're asking folks who are lucky enough to still be working to give a helping hand to those who aren't by referring deserving people they respect and admire. Because our company is ready to shoulder risk and cost that others can't, we can build radio's talent base back up again, while rewarding performance and entrepreneurship."
All clients can be assured of the utmost discrection. Firewall and account protection has long been established, and compares in many ways to the propriety shown by the Swiss Banking System to their clients.

In addition to his no-holds-barred nationally syndicated radio show; Mancow contributes regular commentaries to "Chicago Tonight." This exposure on camera helped Mancow easily shine as the star of his very own hour long special on the Fox News Channel called, "Planet Mancow" which was given several encore showings. Mancow also was recently a guest on NBC's Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
Mancow has appeared on a variety of other television programs including: "Politically Incorrect," "Jerry Springer," "David Letterman," "Hard Copy" and others.

| San Francisco, CA - Talk Radio Network's Michael Savage who recently filed a defamation lawsuit against U.K. Home Secretary Jacqui Smith for placing him on a list of those barred from entering the United Kingdom has uncovered emails acknowledging the ban on him would provide 'balance' to a list dominated by Muslims. The emails linked the decision to Gordon Brown and Foreign Secretary David Miliband. The officials admitted their action could look 'duplicitous' and cited his 'homophobia' as a reason the move would receive public support. Savage is the number one drive-time talk show host in the San Francisco market and is ranked as the 3rd largest syndicated show in America, according to Talkers Magazine.
Jacqui Smith resigned as the United Kingdom's Home Secretary, after receiving notification from Savage's law firm regarding a defamation lawsuit. Now, correspondence released under Freedom of Information legislation suggests the banning was based on a political calculation made at the highest level of Government.
According to the UK Daily Mail one message, sent by an unidentified Home Office official on November 27 last year, said that, "I can understand that disclosure of the decision would help provide a balance of types of exclusion cases." The documents uncovered include a draft recommendation, marked 'Restricted', saying: "We will want to ensure that the names disclosed reflect the broad range of cases and are not all Islamic extremists."
A further email confirmed the decision to include Savage on the list of least wanted individuals was approved at the highest level of Government, saying: "Both the FS [Foreign Secretary] and PM [Prime Minister] are firmly behind listing and naming such people."
One unnamed civil servant, counseled caution, saying: "I think we could be accused of duplicity in naming him' - without explaining why - and even added that 'the fact that he is homophobic does help."
Savage continues to be banned from the U.K. The Press Office of the British Embassy in Washington, D.C. confirmed in an interview last week that, Michael Savage, still remains "persona non grata" in Great Britain. Savage has warned his listeners that neither he nor his attorneys have received any official indication that the ban had been lifted. Savage said, "I won't believe it until they send a letter to me confirming it."
A weekend newspaper report alleging the lifting of the ban appears to have been inaccurate. The press representative indicated that while no visa is required of Americans visiting England, Michael Savage, would be detained by immigration authorities if he attempted to enter the country, and refused entry. The British Home Office informed the embassy office that there has been no change in Michael Savage's ban.
The British Government's new Home Secretary, Alan Johnson, acted quickly after he took office by withdrawing the list of the "least wanted" people in the U.K. that Talk Radio Network's Michael Savage was included on however this did not lift the ban. Alan Johnson called the ban a terrible blunder and told the London Daily Mail he would scrap the policy of maintaining such enemies' lists. Savage said that he was "stunned by this sudden sign of sanity in the U.K. government."
This announcement follows the former Home Secretary Jacqui Smith admitting to Total Politics Magazine she was not up to being Home Secretary of the U.K. Smith said, "When I became Home Secretary I'd never run a major organization. I hope I did a good job but if I did it was more by luck than by any kind of development of skills." She continues by saying "I think we should have been better trained."
Savage hired the Olswang Law Firm to initiate libel proceedings, and, is seeking 100,000 pounds in damages. Savage also wants an apology, and a retraction of his name from the list published by Smith. Savage said, "This is an orchestrated campaign by this socialist, fascist government of hers, trying to turn me into something I am not," he added, "I spent my entire life building my reputation, and I will not have this government drag my name through the mud. I want my name cleared."
Before resigning, Smith indicated that she would fight the suit with a spokesperson stating, "As the Home Secretary has already said, he was excluded (banned) for engaging in unacceptable behavior by making comments that might provoke others to serious criminal acts and foster hatred that might lead to inter-community violence. Any legal proceedings would be robustly defended; we stand by our decision to exclude this individual. Coming to the UK is a privilege that we refuse to extend to those who abuse our standards and values to undermine our way of life."
"Michael Savage's situation has to do with free speech in the Western world, in the entire free world. We live in a global marketplace now, and when our greatest ally - Britain - looks to somehow silence an American radio personality, intentionally or otherwise, it could have tremendous impact," said Michael Harrison, founder and editor of Talkers Magazine, which tracks the U.S. talk-radio industry.
"The British call Michael Savage a 'shock jock.' Now the Home Office accuses and condemns him of hate mongering. The First Amendment is not always tidy. It can be messy, even. When they equate a provocative political commentator with murderers and criminals - well, this is a dangerous mistake," Mr. Harrison said.
"The alliances between our countries are built, in part, on the First Amendment. This may prove a very slippery slope we're on," he added.
The Savage Nation is a powerhouse in national syndication. An independent-minded individualist, Michael Savage fits no stereotype. He attacks big government and liberal media bias, but champions the environment and animal rights. Trained as a scientist, he holds Master's degrees in medical botany and medical anthropology and earned his Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley in Epidemiology and Nutrition Science.
Michael Savage was named 2007's recipient of TALKERS Magazine's Freedom of Speech Award. Previous recognitions for Savage include his nomination for 2007 Syndicated Talk Host of the Year by Radio and Records Magazine.
Michael Savage is the author of over 20 books including four NY Times Best Sellers - The Savage Nation, The Enemy Within, Liberalism is a Mental Disorder, Political Zoo, and his most recent book is Psychological Nudity, Savage Radio Stories.
The Michael Savage Show airs Live Monday through Friday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. PST (6 p.m. - 9 p.m. EST). |

The British Government's new Home Secretary, Alan Johnson, acted quickly after he took office by withdrawing the list of the "least wanted" people in the U.K. that Talk Radio Network's Michael Savage was included however this did not lift the ban. Alan Johnson called the ban a terrible blunder and told the London Daily Mail he would scrap the policy of maintaining such enemies' lists. Savage said that he was "stunned by this sudden sign of sanity in the U.K. government."
This announcement follows the former Home Secretary Jacqui Smith admitting to Total Politics Magazine she was not up to being Home Secretary of the U.K. Smith said, "When I became Home Secretary I'd never run a major organization. I hope I did a good job but if I did it was more by luck than by any kind of development of skills." She continues by saying "I think we should have been better trained."
Jacqui Smith resigned as the United Kingdom's Home Secretary, one day after receiving notification from Savage's law firm regarding a defamation lawsuit. Savage filed a defamation lawsuit against U.K. Home Secretary Jacqui Smith for placing him on a list of those barred from entering the United Kingdom.
On May 5, 2009 the UK Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith, published a list of 16 individuals that would be banned from entering the UK. Michael Savage was included on that list, which contained names of radical Muslim clerics, convicted criminals and Russian skinheads
Savage hired the Olswang Law Firm to initiate libel proceeding, and, is seeking 100,000 pounds in damages. Savage also wants an apology, and a retraction of his name from the list published by Smith. Savage said, "This is an orchestrated campaign by this socialist, fascist government of hers, trying to turn me into something I am not," he added, "I spent my entire life building my reputation, and I will not have this government drag my name through the mud. I want my name cleared."
Before resigning, Smith indicated that she would fight the suit with a spokesperson stating, "As the Home Secretary has already said, he was excluded (banned) for engaging in unacceptable behavior by making comments that might provoke others to serious criminal acts and foster hatred that might lead to inter-community violence. Any legal proceedings would be robustly defended; we stand by our decision to exclude this individual. Coming to the UK is a privilege that we refuse to extend to those who abuse our standards and values to undermine our way of life."
"Michael Savage's situation has to do with free speech in the Western world, in the entire free world. We live in a global marketplace now, and when our greatest ally - Britain - looks to somehow silence an American radio personality, intentionally or otherwise, it could have tremendous impact," said Michael Harrison, founder and editor of Talkers Magazine, which tracks the U.S. talk-radio industry.
"The British call Michael Savage a 'shock jock.' Now the Home Office accuses and condemns him of hate mongering. The First Amendment is not always tidy. It can be messy, even. When they equate a provocative political commentator with murderers and criminals - well, this is a dangerous mistake," Mr. Harrison said.
"The alliances between our countries are built, in part, on the First Amendment. This may prove a very slippery slope we're on," he added.
The Savage Nation is a powerhouse in national syndication. An independent-minded individualist, Michael Savage fits no stereotype. He attacks big government and liberal media bias, but champions the environment and animal rights. Trained as a scientist, he holds Master's degrees in medical botany and medical anthropology and earned his Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley in Epidemiology and Nutrition Science.
Michael Savage was named 2007's recipient of TALKERS Magazine's Freedom of Speech Award. Previous recognitions for Savage include his nomination for 2007 Syndicated Talk Host of the Year by Radio and Records Magazine.
Michael Savage is the author of over 20 books including four NY Times Best Sellers - The Savage Nation, The Enemy Within, Liberalism is a Mental Disorder, Political Zoo, and his most recent book is Psychological Nudity, Savage Radio Stories.
The Michael Savage Show airs Live Monday through Friday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. PST (6 p.m. - 9 p.m. EST). |

| Washington, D.C. - Talk Radio Network Entertainment's America's Morning News, talk radio's leading source for breaking news, continued to break big stories on the show on a near-daily basis this month. America's Morning News is a new nationally syndicated, morning-drive radio news show in association with The Washington Times featuring Long-Time ABC San Francisco Morning Drive Anchor Melanie Morgan and Award-Winning Columnist and Co-Anchor John McCaslin. Major news organizations across the nation are picking up the reports America's Morning News is breaking.
Since the beginning of July, America's Morning News has featured live interviews with important current and past government representatives and newsmakers who have used their interviews to break news, including several national-level politicians who have chosen America's Morning News to announce their candidacy. Breaking international stories have included: announcements from the inside of Iran on murder by the mullahs, announcements from former US officials siding against President Obama and with the current Honduran government, and announcements from current government officials that recent cyber attacks against US targets can be attributed to North Korea.
Here are just a few examples of the news broken on America's Morning News over the past two weeks:
On July 13, America's Morning News featured Liz Cheney. After responding to the breaking information regarding her father, Vice President Dick Cheney, and his involvement with CIA intelligence briefings, Liz Cheney announced that she plans to run for office. National news organizations from network TV to major newspapers to the most popular news websites picked the story up from America's Morning News.
On July 10, Democratic Congressman Joe Sestak of Pennsylvania's 7th District came on America's Morning News to announce his candidacy against Senator Arlen Specter for the Pennsylvania Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate.
Also on July 10, Nikki Haley, who is running for the Republican nomination for Governor in South Carolina appeared on America's Morning News. Haley, who is currently serving in the South Carolina House of Representatives, was the first Indian American Republican state legislator in the United States. America's Morning News was the first national interview for Haley since news broke of Governor Mark Sanford's affair.
America's Morning News featured several important former government officials on recent shows who have officially come out against the Obama Administration and in support of the coup in Honduras including: Ambassador Roger Noriega former assistant secretary of state for Western Hemisphere affairs (Canada, Latin America, and the Caribbean) and a former U.S. ambassador to the Organization of American States; Ambassador Jaime Daremblum, who served as Ambassador of Costa Rica to the United States from 1998 to 2004; and Ambassador Jose S. Sorzano who was the Deputy U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations from 1983 to 1985.
On July 2, Sabina Amidi, an Iranian woman who was in Tehran during the recent rioting, was a featured guest on America's Morning News to provide information about the state of affairs in Iran. While in Iran, she secretly sent her work to the Jerusalem Post under the Iranian regime's radar. During the show she broke the news that six Mousavi supporters reportedly have been hanged!
On July 10, Iason Athanasiadis, a Greek journalist who was freed by the Iranian government, appeared on America's Morning News. Athanasiadis, who had been reporting for The Washington Times from inside Iran, was arrested more than two weeks ago. This was his first international interview relaying his experience.
On July 9, America's Morning News featured a live interview with ranking House Republican Congressman on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Pete Hoekstra of the 2nd District of Michigan, who broke the news that North Korea is probably behind the recent cyber attacks on the Pentagon and the White House.
On July 9, Republican House Minority Whip, Congressman Eric Cantor of the 7th District of Virginia also turned up on America's Morning News. Congressman Cantor blasted Vice President Biden, saying that he misread the stimulus package not the economy.
Also on July 9, Senator Jim Demint of South Carolina appeared for a second time on America's Morning News, where he called President Obama a true "Socialist President," creating a media firestorm.
Previous guests on America's Morning News have included: President George H.W. Bush, Vice-President Dick Cheney, Senator John McCain, Representative Michele Bachmann, and former White House Press Secretary Dana Perino
And that's just the last two weeks. It is no wonder that charter affiliates are already talking about America's Morning News and the shows ability to provide breaking news to listeners nationwide.
Jack Swanson at KSFO-AM, San Francisco says, "Radio's easy when you listen. We listened to our advertisers who wanted to sponsor more news programming. We listened to the KSFO audience who wanted news that wasn't more of the mainstream media and came from a source they could trust. America's Morning News is a winning combination that is going to be a monster hit across the nation!"
"America's Morning News is an informative show that provides valuable reporting to our listeners. We are thrilled to partner with the Washington Times on KGIL," says Michael Levine, Station Manager, KGIL, Los Angeles.
"In a town like Washington - a city that is constantly on the go, and needs to know - America's Morning News was a natural fit for the station. There is no other show around that has the resources of a full staff of over 150 journalists sitting right outside of their studio. When people are talking about a story - and when news is being made - America's Morning News is there. We're proud to be partnered with The Washington Times and we're very excited about this endeavor," says Chris Roth, Director of Programming, WTNT, Washington D.C.

"Finally....a morning drive news show worth airing! Radio people have been clamoring for years for a morning news show with substance and relevance. America's Morning News is perfect for stations which need a national morning drive show that has a mix of hard news and light morning personality," says Henry Hinton Vice President/General Manager, WNBU-FM, Greenville, NC.
"We took America's Morning News because of the unique style that this show offers including great investigative journalism with two very experienced reporters with impeccable credentials leading the team," says Rick Mitchell, Director of Programming, WIGN, Johnson City, TN.
Justin Sasso Owner/General Manager, KFKA, Ft. Collins, CO says "America's Morning News is sounding great, We love Melanie and John's chemistry."
"I took one listen and was hooked. Live, informative, fast-paced, and fits with my station's "feel". So smooth you'd think Melanie and John have been doing this show for years," says Bill Meyer, Program Director, KMED, Medford, OR.
"I took America's Morning News because the Washington Times is one of the country's most respected news sources, the hosts are already familiar to our audience, and TRN has a continuing track record of success for our station. This type of program is needed on radio. It looks like Talk Radio Network has another winner," says Benji Carle, General Manager, WBCF, Florence, AL.
"I took America's Morning News because...it's a perfect fit for our station. We need a strong morning news presence and this show will be a great way for us to establish that while still keeping an eye on our bottom line. America's Morning News fills a big void in morning radio. There's really nothing else like it. TRN has hit a home run with this show," says Tom Norris, Owner and General Manager, KIOL, Pittsburgh, KS.

| NYC, NY - Due to popular demand, Monica Crowley and Talk Radio Network Entertainment, Inc. have decided to continue Crowley's popular weekend show on stations all across the country. The weekday program will cease distribution due to increasing time demands from Ms. Crowley's highly received television appearances and other responsibilities, according to a Talk Radio Network Entertainment spokesperson. The weekend Monica Crowley Show is heard on over 120 stations and will continue without interruption beginning this coming weekend.
"Monica's daily show has been a wildly successful entry into the talk radio market," said TRN-E CEO, Mark Masters. He continued by saying, "Her daily program, which was broadcast in four of the top ten markets in the United States and well over 20 stations overall, brought entertainment and information to a whole new audience, with wit and style that made her indispensible to her listeners. Monica remains one of the most successful female talk show hosts on the air. We wish her only success in her television career, and we are proud to continue syndicating her tremendous weekend show, which currently has over 120 affiliates."
"While my weekday radio show was a true labor of love, I have been overwhelmed with some special opportunities to do other things, including television and publishing. I am truly looking forward to continuing my radio career with TRN-E on the weekend program as I pursue all of these exciting and new avenues," Crowley says.
In addition to being a nationally syndicated talk radio host Crowley has also been a guest on the major TV and cable news channels, including ABC, NBC, FOX and HBO and worked as a commentator on National Public Radio's Morning Edition for four years. She is a panelist on The McLaughlin Group and a Fox News analyst. Crowley joined Fox News Channel in 1996 as political and international affairs analyst.

| Washington, D.C. - Talk Radio Network Entertainment and The Washington Times have partnered to create a nationally syndicated, morning-drive radio show with an innovative new format aimed at showcasing investigative reporting, accountability journalism and live reporting directly from the Washington Times' newsroom inside the nation's capital. This show represents a full spectrum ranging from breaking investigative reports in real-time to entertainment news, financial news, commentary and point vs. counterpoint. "America's Morning News" is set to launch Monday, June 15th. The show will utilize all the resources of The Washington Times in addition to a specially formed investigative unit with 10 reporters.
The Talk Radio Network companies are noted within the radio industry to have developed more top-ten nationally syndicated talk radio shows than any other radio network, TRN-E CEO Mark Masters says, "We are thrilled at the opportunity to partner with The Washington Times in developing this unique and highly entertaining new program. It will rank with the giants."
Phil Boyce, the President of Programming for Talk Radio Network, says, "TRN is excited to partner with The Washington Times in this brave new venture. This show will be fast-paced and compelling with great story telling by the reporters breaking the stories. Morning radio in America will have a new player heavy on information and riveting content."
"I'm excited about the combined forces of great hosts and incredible journalists producing radio's very own national morning news juggernaut of information and entertainment," says Greg Moceri, President of Moceri Media!
"The Washington Times has made a very strong commitment to investigative reporting, building a journalistic team, headed by former "Post" honcho John Solomon that will be second to none. We believe this unique journalistic team, combined with radio's ability to give the time and context needed to flesh out breaking stories will make for a powerful winning combination in talk radio. Rather than commenting on yesterday's news, this news radio show will have the capacity to make, break, and drive the news cycle. Like 60 Minutes once did for TV, this show can do for radio. We are very excited and honored to embark in this partnership with The Washington Times investigative team," says Masters.
Anchoring the news desk for the investigative team will be 23 year ABC news veteran and multiple award winning host, Melanie Morgan (who just finished a 15 year stint as anchor in morning drive on
ABC's Powerhouse, KSFO San Francisco). At Melanie's side will be veteran broadcaster and Times' award winning journalist John McCaslin.
"Melanie and John are fearless reporters whose award-winning body of work epitomizes the American values this news company was founded upon. We can't wait for radio listeners to hear the new genre of news talk radio they are creating," says Washington Times President and Publisher Thomas P. McDevitt.
Executive Editor John Solomon said the duo were chosen because of their "long commitment to excellence and their passion for ensuring those in power speak truthfully to the American public and are held accountable for their actions"
"Melanie and John will leverage every ounce of expertise, energy and gum-shoe reporting out of the Times' investigative newsroom. They know how to break stories that matter to the American public, are passionate about holding the powerful to account and are committed to unearthing the stories that matter most to Americans at the dinner table, by the water cooler and inside their pocketbook."
Solomon said the duo demonstrated during their demos the "chemistry, energy and pace to mesmerize a radio audience with essential news and an entertaining delivery while remaining true to the core values of investigative journalism."
"John McCaslin has demonstrated his cutting-edge reporting abilities to Times readers for two-decades and Melanie has the uncanny knack of connecting the news of the day to the thoughts rattling in the back of Americans' minds, facilitating a debate on the most important issues of the day. Together they will get America to think more about the forces, people and events shaping our world."
Boyce added: "Melanie is a true radio pro, and I am thrilled to have her join us for this effort. She is the quintessential morning radio talent. She is upbeat, smart, witty and funny in the morning. She is passionate about what she believes in. She gets the journalistic side of this show, but is not afraid to also express an opinion. She will be a true hit in national syndication."
About Melanie Morgan:
"At a time when other newspapers, radio and TV stations are cutting back resources, only the Times is doubling down and investing in more, not less journalism. I'm packing my bags and leaving California for Washington energized over my good fortune to be part of this ground-breaking effort. I look forward to bringing over 30 years of broadcast experience to this new investigative show, and the chance to work with Talk Radio Network and Mark Masters is too good an opportunity to pass up," Melanie Morgan says.
Veteran broadcast journalist, Melanie Morgan, will join the team at The Washington Times to
inform and excite their audiences on up-to-the-minute breaking news, and in depth investigations,
in a style and format never before experienced in a long-form radio program. Morgan has spent 33 years working for ABC TV and Radio, assigned to cover international hotspots, for which she has earned a reputation as a fearless journalist who faced many challenges, often in dangerous war time situations.

Islamic terrorists drove a truck bomb through the gates of the American compound sheltering over 250 young Marines. Morgan won the Associated Press award for Best Live Reporting from Beirut,
The Peninsula Press Club award and others for the live broadcasts and exclusive story of PLO leader Yasser Arafat's ejection from Lebanon by the country's leading Mullah's.
For nearly 15 years, Morgan hosted a daily four-hour morning radio program on ABC's flagship station KSFO, San Francisco, the #1 AM radio market in the country (4th largest rated market overall).
In 1985, Morgan won awards for her coverage of the Mexico City earthquake that registered 8.1, killing 10,000 people. Morgan was the very first reporter to broadcast live the devastation and destruction in Mexico after convincing a Saudi Prince to take her up in his private jet for a ship-to-shore hook-up with San Francisco tower, which was re-broadcast on ABC Radio Network, and played live on ABC Television network.
In 1987, Morgan was sent to Europe to cover the return of TWA flight 847 that was hijacked by Hezbollah radicals who murdered Navy diver Robert Stetham. Melanie was on the tarmac when the plane was returned to West Germany, and the remaining hostages released.
In 1988, ABC radio sent Melanie to Beijing, China to cover the student uprising for Democracy, where over 2,000 people died in Tiananmen Square. She was assigned to ABC TV in addition to her radio responsibilities, even smuggling videotape and equipment to record the dramatic events as they unfolded over a seven week period of time. Morgan won the RTNDA and Peninsula Press club award for her reporting.
In 2006, Melanie was awarded the highest honor from the Associated Press with the Mark Twain award for Best Special Program "Voices of Soldiers" while in combat zones in Iraq, producing and reporting live broadcasts of soldiers with stories to tell, unfiltered and unedited to the American public.

The Times, launched in 1982, has one of the fastest growing news web sites in the country and over the last year has produced scores of high-impact investigative exposes, ranging from ethical conflicts involving administration nominees and members of Congress to the mistreatment of veterans in a VA medical experiment.
Solomon, executive editor of the Times, said the newspaper has a large number of reporters and editors working on investigative and enterprise reporting projects on any given day and plans to break stories, launch investigative projects and conduct exclusive, in-depth interviews on the new show.
"Accountability journalism is one of the hallmarks of The Washington Times and the very reporters and editors on the front lines of Washington's biggest stories will now be able to share their scoops, insights and inside stories with radio listeners every morning in what promises to be a ground-breaking new genre of news radio," Solomon said.
About Talk Radio Network:
Founded in 1993, Talk Radio Network companies are a juggernaut in long form talk syndication - eclipsing all other syndicators in the launch and development of long form syndicated radio talk programs - this is due to what its CEO, Mark Masters, terms a "fearless entrepreneurial environment at TRN." Adds Masters, "Whether it is the syndication of conservatives, liberals, libertarians or lifestyle shows, the TRN companies love to create great programming. We are a company that loves great talk
radio, we live and breathe what comes out of the speakers, and you can feel that passion in the hallways - we love this business."
On April 30th, 2007 Bear Stearns issued a report which concluded that TRN is the second largest provider of nationally syndicated radio talk shows nationwide, making TRN (according to the Bear Stearns report) larger than ABC Radio Networks (ranked 3rd at that time) and then Westwood One (which was ranked 4th) for national talk programming.
Recently placed full page ads to hire yet more "producers, salespeople, engineers and assistants" proudly tout that Talk Radio Network and its four other sister networks "have developed and launched more top ten syndicated political News/Talk radio programs than any other network in the last decade." - A fact that the companies' CEO is naturally proud of (Laura Ingraham, Michael Savage, Jerry Doyle, Tammy Bruce, Rusty Humphries and Erich "Mancow" Muller are just a few of the slate - weekend programs include Motor Trend Radio, and world renowned scientist Michio Kaku to name a few). Says Masters, "Long form talk is a highly entrepreneurial niche within radio syndication - we have worked hard to run a tight shop and build giants that can knock it out of the park for our station affiliate and advertising partners." According to the latest Talkers Magazine ranking list of top nationally syndicated shows (Spring 2009), Talk Radio Network and its affiliated networks have five of the top ten largest syndicated talk radio shows in the United States, on that most recent list. |

| Las Vegas, NV - TRN Enterprises' Jerry Doyle announced the upcoming release of his debut book entitled, "Have You Seen My Country Lately?" The Jerry Doyle Show is currently heard on more than 230 stations Monday through Friday, 3 p.m. to 6p.m. EST, 12 Noon to 3 p.m. PST.
Edited by Vice President and Senior Editor Mitchell Ivers of Threshold Editions, this book explores his childhood in Brooklyn to his career in aviation, his time on Wall Street, morphing into one of the lead actors on the Emmy winning TV series Babylon 5, stepping into the political arena as the Hollywood Republican Nominee for Congress in the 2000 election and now the host of the 7th largest syndicated talk show host in America* in 5 short years. Jerry Doyle's experiences from career-to-career and coast-to-coast have molded his political opinions and made him one of the most popular radio hosts in America.
Now, Doyle brings his trademark wit to the page, tackling issues like the financial crisis, American sovereignty, 60's radical America alive and well today and much more. Using humorous anecdotes from Doyle's colorful life, "Have You Seen My Country Lately?" features chapters such as "Smoke for the Children," "Where's my Fatwa," "The Tyranny of the Minority," "Timothy Leary is not Dead," "Economic Fascism," and "You're Not Someone Special," Doyle delves into the absurdity of government policies, while bringing key issues to light and offering solutions to bring about the change we need.
Doyle says, "This is the kind of book my 4'10" Liberal Democrat Irish Catholic East Coast mom will read and probably still invite me to Thanksgiving Dinner. Maybe even at the adults table this year."
Anthony Ziccardi, Vice President and Associate Publisher of Threshold Editions, announced that this book will be published in hardcover and available in January 2010.
Doyle is best known for playing the character of Michael Garibaldi on the Emmy Award winning TV series Babylon 5. In July of 1992, Doyle shot the pilot for Babylon 5, and in 1998, completed his 110th episode of the hit series landing Doyle on the cover of TV Guide Magazine. The real Jerry Doyle is not far removed from the character that he played, as they both uphold high standards, are outspoken and live with vivid pasts. The Jerry Doyle Show is a mix of politics, pop culture and current events. Doyle's strong opinions, diverse background and quick wit can appeal to all listening audiences.
At the height of a successful ten-year career on Wall Street, Doyle decided on a new challenge. "I was 35 years old and in a position to take a shot at whatever I wanted to try," says Doyle. "The Air Force said I was too old to fly fighter jets. I thought about becoming a fishing boat captain, before deciding that acting seemed pretty cool," said Doyle.
In 1991, he packed up and headed to Hollywood. With no prior acting experience, Doyle hit the streets and phones with a vengeance. Within weeks of arriving in Los Angeles, he landed his first job. He was hired as a "day player" on The Bold and the Beautiful, this role lasted almost a year. He then went on to star in the long-running sci-fi series Babylon 5. After the success of Babylon 5, Doyle starred in the TNT original movies The River of Souls, A Call to Arm and to play many other roles.
Taking a hiatus from acting in 2000, Doyle pursued yet another personal goal. A long time political junkie, he ran for the U.S House of Representatives for California¹s 24th District. While the March primary saw him become the Republican Congressional Nominee, in the November election race he came up short.
Doyle grew up in Brooklyn, NY, the eldest son of a police officer and a stay-at-home mom. He received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Aeronautics from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, while also receiving his flight training.

| San Francisco, CA - Talk Radio Network's Michael Savage has instructed his legal team
at the Thomas More Law Center to enlist the Office of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
to demand that the government of the United Kingdom rescind its decision to ban Savage
from entering their country.
On May 5, 2009 the UK Home Secretary published a list of 16 individuals that would be
banned from entering the UK. Michael Savage was included on that list, which contained
names of radical Muslim clerics, convicted criminals and Russian skinheads.
The Home Office described Mr. Savage as a:
"Controversial daily radio host. Considered to be engaging in unacceptable behavior
by seeking to provoke others to serious criminal acts and fostering hatred which might
lead to inter-community violence."
The Thomas More Law Center cited International law in a letter to Secretary of State
Clinton urging her to act on Savages' behalf. The letter states in part:
"Accordingly, I respectfully request that you take all necessary action to protect Mr.
Savage's rights under Article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political
Rights to which both the United States and the United Kingdom are signatories.
Article 19, section 2 provides in part:"
"Everyone shall have the right to freedom of expression; this right shall include
freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds,
regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print... "
"Furthermore, the United Kingdom is in direct violation of Article 10 of the
European Convention on Human Rights, which protects the right to freedom of
expression. Article 10(1) provides in part:
"Everyone has the right of freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom
to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference
by public authority and regardless of frontiers."
"The European Court of Human Rights (Case of Surek v. Turkey, No.1) has held
that the "freedom of expression constitutes one to the essential foundations of a
democratic society." The Court went on to say that this freedom of expression
is not only applicable to information and ideas that are favorably received, but
also to those that offend, shock or disturb."
"In conclusion, the Thomas More Law Center, on behalf of Michael Savage,
respectfully demands that you and the U.S. Department of State take all necessary
steps to call on the government of the United Kingdom, and more particularly,
the office of the Home Secretary Jacqui Smith, to rescind the aforementioned ban
preventing the entry of Michael Savage into the United Kingdom."
Michael Savage is the 3rd largest syndicated talk show in America, according
to Talkers Magazine, and is heard weekdays on over 350 stations coast-to-coast.
He is the author of over 20 books, 4 NY Times Best Sellers. In 2007, Savage was
awarded The Freedom of Speech Award by Talkers Magazine. |

Buck Albritton, General Manager, WXTG Norfolk - Virginia Beach, VA "Adding The Mancow Show to 'The Game' 102.1 FM/1490 AM will serve the market's demand. The show's audience will complement The Game's current listening audience providing a strong delivery of adults and will increase results for our advertisers. We're eager to launch The Mancow Show and give area businesses the opportunity to tap into a proven marketing success."
Clear Channel Broadcastings' Craig Stevens, WTKT, Harrisburg and WSAN, Allentown, PA says, "We are THRILLED to add MANCOW...No one can bring this much entertainment to Morning Radio better than the Cow...Launching the new lineup with Mancow in the Morning just made perfect sense."
"Mancow's Morning Show has opened up a whole new demographic for us. We're blown away by the response to the show," says Kevin Bresnahan, Program Director, WQMR, Salisbury-Ocean City, MD.
"I put Mancow on my station because our slogan is 'more compelling talk' and Mancow fits very well with our target for mornings on KEXO 1230 Talk," says Kevin Wodlinger, General Manager, KEXO, Grand Junction, CO.
"The Truth is the newest of a new breed of FM Talkers springing up all over the country," said TRN President of Programming Phil Boyce. "Mancow will be a great new morning show in this market and will be a perfect complement to the new Talk lineup that will get Fresno talking."
Mark Masters, CEO of TRN-FM said, "As was the case of Jerry Seinfeld, who certain NBC executives stuck with for 18 long months until he broke out (going on to become the biggest TV show on NBC), Mancow has evolved to such a point that I believe he will be the 'Seinfeld' equivalent on radio, his time is now, coinciding with his own personal evolution from being the 'Mancow' of 19 years ago, to Erich 'Mancow' Muller of today - is a night and day difference." To illustrate the point, ABC/Citadel's legendary PD, Jack Swanson (KGO/KSFO San Francisco), has called Mancow the "next Rush Limbaugh".
"This will bring lots of energy to the station," says WLS-AM president and general manager, Mike Fowler. He continues by saying, "It's a younger version of Rush."
"Smart people know: the future is here. It's just not evenly distributed. Mancow represents the future of Talk Radio, and we couldn't be more excited than to have him join our weekday lineup," says WLS' Former Program Director, Kipper Mcgee.
"I needed a show that could generate buzz before it hit the airwaves...Mancow is that show," says Hal Fish, Director of Programming Operations, WTDA, Columbus, OH.
"I added Mancow to my mornings because I wanted to start my mornings off with a Bang," says Andy Hodges, General Manager WJFN, Jackson, MS.
Crawford Broadcastings' Laura Scotti, General Manager KLZ, Denver and WYDE, Birmingham says, "Every instinct I had when we decided to add Mancow was right on. Mancow attracts the audience we needed to launch the new Talk format. We love this show!" She continues by saying, "The show is topical as well as relevant to today's listeners. Our audience is going to love it and we expect great things from this addition to our line-up. WYDE is proud to become the Alabama home of Mancow in the Morning."
"Mancow is the perfect addition to our lineup. He brings a fresh and quality approach to the topics of the day and adds humor with intelligent comments to the radio market in Chattanooga. In a word, Mancow is a WINNER," says Joe Mulé, General Manager, WUUS Radio, Chattanooga, TN.
Mancow's wide spectrum of guests have included: Joe the Plumber, Pat Buchanan, Howie Mandel, William Shatner, Russel Crow, Jack Black, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Senator Arlen Spector, Senator John Cornyn, Jerry Bruckheimer and other luminaries.
In addition to his no-holds-barred nationally syndicated radio show; Mancow is a regular contributor on the Fox News Channel's "Fox and Friends" which is a highly anticipated segment of the morning program. Mancow also contributes regular commentaries to "Chicago Tonight." This exposure on camera helped Mancow easily shine as the star of his very own hour long special on the Fox News Channel called, "Planet Mancow" which was given several encore showings.
Mancow has appeared on a variety television programs including: "Politically Incorrect," "Jerry Springer," "David Letterman," "Hard Copy" and others. Muller is the author of a Best-Selling book Dad, Dames, Demons, and a Dwarf and he has written for "Newsmax.com," "Playboy" and "Gear Magazine."

| San Francisco, CA - Talk Radio Network's Michael Savage in conjunction with The Thomas More Law Center, a national public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, have announced that they have filed a federal lawsuit against Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. The lawsuit claims that her Department's "Rightwing Extremism Policy," as reflected in the recently publicized Intelligence Assessment, "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment," violates the civil liberties of combat veterans as well as American citizens by targeting them for disfavored treatment on account of the political beliefs.
Michael Savage host of The Savage Nation previously collaborated with the Thomas More Law Center and was instrumental in securing victory and having the case dismissed against Lt. Colonel Chessani, in relation to the so-called Haditha Massacre in Iraq. The Michael Savage Show is now the third largest nationally syndicated radio talk show according to TALKERS Magazine as of the Fall 2008 Top Talk Audiences Report. The Savage Nation airs on almost 300 stations nationwide, 42 on the FM dial.
In this most recent case, Michael Savage along with The Law Center claim that Napolitano's Department (DHS) has violated the First and Fifth Amendment Constitutional rights by attempting to chill their free speech, expressive association, and equal protection rights. The lawsuit further claims that the Department of Homeland Security encourages law enforcement officers throughout the nation to target and report citizens to federal officials as suspicious rightwing extremists and potential terrorists because of their political beliefs. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan on behalf of Talk Radio Network's host Michael Savage, Gregg Cunningham (President of the pro-life organization Center for Bio-Ethical Reform, Inc (CBR), and Iraqi War Marine veteran Kevin Murray.
Richard Thompson, President and Chief Counsel of the Thomas More Law Center stated, "The Obama Administration has declared war on American patriots and our Constitution. The Report even admits that the Department has no specific information on any plans of violence by so-called 'rightwing extremists.' Rather, what they do have is the expression of political opinions by certain individuals and organizations that oppose the Obama administration's policies, and this expression is protected speech under the First Amendment."
Thompson added, "Janet Napolitano is lying to the American people when she says the Report is not based on ideology or political beliefs. In fact, her report would have the admiration of any current or past dictator in the way it targets political opponents."
The Thomas More Law Center is civil rights advocacy group specializing in constitutional issues. It supports a strong national defense and an independent and sovereign United States of America.
The Savage Nation is a powerhouse in national syndication. An independent-minded individualist, Michael Savage fits no stereotype. He attacks big government and liberal media bias, but champions the environment and animal rights. Trained as a scientist, he holds Master's degrees in medical botany and medical anthropology and earned his Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley in Epidemiology and Nutrition Science.
Michael Savage was named 2007's recipient of TALKERS Magazine's Freedom of Speech Award. Previous recognitions for Savage include his nomination for 2007 Syndicated Talk Host of the Year by Radio and Records Magazine, in addition to being named the 3rd largest radio talk show host in America by TALKERS Magazine.

Hosts participating include: Erich "Mancow" Muller, Rusty Humphries, Tammy Bruce and Robert Scott Bell. Tax Day Tea Parties are being held throughout the nation on April 15th as part of a nationwide non-partisan, grassroots organization of concerned Americans who are concerned with the wasteful, out of control spending in Washington and are determined to have our collective voices heard on this issue.
TRN-FM's Erich "Mancow" Muller will be speaking at Chicago's Tax Day Tea Party being held at the Klucynski Federal Building Plaza from 12:00 noon to 2:00 p.m. Americans attending hundreds of Tax Day Tea Party protests around the country will show opposition to government spending in Washington and to an increasing taxes that can limit the freedom and threaten the livelihood of nearly every American.
"A Tea Party in 2009? Yes! Because not everyone deserves what you've worked so hard for. If you are sick of everyone being a big spender with your money you need to be at a Tea Party on April 15th," says Erich "Mancow" Muller. He continues by saying, "These Tea Parties are a way for all of us 'Common Folk' to give Big Brother a black eye and are a big middle finger salute from an overtaxed populace to the crooks in charge."
Talk Radio Network's Rusty Humphries will be broadcasting live during a Tax Day Tea Party with one of his local affiliates KFIV, Modesto, CA on April 15th from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The event will be held at Congressman Dennis Cardoza's Office at the Tenth Street Plaza in Modesto. Rusty Humphries will be speaking at the event along with the featured guest speaker Assemblyman Chuck Devore.
"We look forward to Rusty coming. We have had him come in to be a part of our live broadcasts and he is a huge draw, and very entertaining. People love Rusty in Modesto. He will be a big part of the Modesto Tea Party's success," says Matthew Hobley, Operations Manager, KFIV. KFIV will have streaming video of the event as it is taking place at www.kfiv1360.com.
Rusty Humphries says, "This is not about Democrats or Republicans. This is about reducing the size and scope of government. Obama's spending too much money; Bush did too. People from across the country are saying enough is enough and I'm proud to be a part of it."
Talk Radio Network Enterprises', Tammy Bruce emceed Santa Barbara's Big Cool Tea Party on April 4th and will also be attending a Tax Day Tea Party on April 15th in Manhattan Beach, CA. Tammy Bruce took the microphone between the various speakers, keeping the attendees focused. "Let this rally be a reminder that we are mad as hell," she said. "We're not going to stop! We're bitter and clingy and we're going to use it!"
Tammy Bruce says, "I'm proud to be a national sponsor of the Tax Day Tea Party movement, which signifies the nonpartisan populist rejection of high taxes, big government and the corruption which accompanies both. We're saying no to more taxes and demanding real economic reform. We categorically reject sending our children and grand-children into indentured servitude to a government that has grown drunk on taxing and spending. The Tea Parties are a national protest where Americans declare we're fed up and not going to take it anymore."
Last week's event in Santa Barbara began with half a dozen men dressed in colonial three-corner hats playing the military march "Yankee-Doodle," with several hundred angry Santa Barbara residents making their way through the downtown streets in protest of recent federal and state tax increases as well as government bailouts and the recent stimulus package. Nearly every speaker focused on their belief that government has been growing too fast in recent months. The march ended at the bankruptcy court, the chant heard by everyone downtown was, "Revolt! Repeal! Recall!"
Tammy Bruce is also scheduled to attend the South Bay Tax Day Tea Party in Manhattan Beach on April 15, 2009 which is being held at the Dockweiler State Beach from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. The rally will feature a bipartisan group of concerned local citizens working in conjunction with the national FreedomWorks organization.
Nathan Mintz organizer of the South Bay Tax Day Tea Party says, "Today is the day the silent majority rises up to demand its elected officials balance the people's checkbook. The people have had enough. The time to voice displeasure with the current political climate, discuss alternative solutions and demand constitutionally guaranteed rights is long overdue. That worst of plagues, the host of confiscatory taxes levied on the People by the Government, are due this day, April 15, 2009, and 'We the People' will no longer remain silent."
Talk Radio Network's Robert Scott Bell will be speaking at the Tax Day Tea Party in Ft. Lauder, FL being held at the Federal Building, 299 East Broward Boulevard from 5:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. The theme for the rally is "Repeal the Pork, Cut Taxes".
Robert Scott Bell says, "Why participate in a Tax Day Tea Party? Government schools teach that slavery ended with the 14th Amendment. What would you call enslaving our children and their children to a debt that can never be repaid in 2009? King George III has got nothing on this government." He continues by saying, "In addition to individual health, I cover the health of the nation. I am attending to see if we can salvage this organic American republic -- one based on individual liberty -- not economic slavery. The health of the nation depends on it."

| Talk Radio Network and The Washington Times are partnering to create a nationally syndicated, morning-drive radio show with an innovative new format aimed at showcasing investigative reporting, accountability journalism and live reporting directly from the Times' newsroom inside the nation's capital. The Washington Times Morning Show is set to launch later this spring.
Mark Masters, the CEO of Talk Radio Network, noted that Talk Radio Network has developed more top talk radio shows than any other company, and is looking forward to the opportunity to partner with The Washington Times in developing this unique new program.
"The Washington Times has made a very strong commitment to investigative reporting, building a journalistic team, headed by former "Post" honcho John Solomon, that will be second to none. We believe this unique journalistic team, combined with radio's ability to give the time and context needed to flesh out breaking stories, will make for a powerful winning combination in talk radio. Rather than commenting on yesterday's news, this news show will have the capacity to make, break, and drive the news cycle. Like 60 Minutes once did for TV, this show can do for radio. We are very excited and honored to embark in this partnership with The Washington Times investigative team."
Phil Boyce, the President of Programming for Talk Radio Network, says, "TRN is excited to partner with The Washington Times in this brave new venture. This show will be fast-paced and compelling with great story telling by the reporters breaking the stories. Morning radio in America will have a new player heavy on information and riveting content."
Times Publisher Thomas P. McDevitt said the partnership helps continue the newspaper's rapid transformation into a multimedia, multi-platform news company that delivers content on a wide variety of digital platforms worldwide.
"Our distinctive news reporting is reaching millions of new consumers across this country and we are pleased to be partnering with Mark and one of the best news talk radio companies in the world to help spread our enterprising journalism to the radio format," McDevitt said. "In a time of large economic and national security challenges, Americans will be able to get distinctive, authoritative news from one of America's most influential newspapers delivered through an innovative radio show produced by the best in the business."
The Times, launched in 1982, has one of the fastest growing news Web sites in the country and over the last year has produced scores of high-impact investigative exposes, ranging from ethical conflicts involving administration nominees and members of Congress to the mistreatment of veterans in a VA medical experiment.
John Solomon, executive editor of the Times, said the newspaper has a large number of reporters and editors working on investigative and enterprise reporting projects on any given day and plans to break stories, launch investigative projects and conduct exclusive, in-depth interviews on the new show.
"Accountability journalism is one of the hallmarks of The Washington Times and the very reporters and editors on the front lines of Washington's biggest stories will now be able to share their scoops, insights and inside stories with radio listeners every morning in what promises to be a ground-breaking new genre of news radio," Solomon said. |

| San Francisco, CA - Talk Radio Network's Michael Savage and listeners of The Savage Nation along with The Thomas More Law Center have been extremely influential in the case being dismissed against Lt. Colonel Chessani, in relation to the so-called Haditha Massacre in Iraq. The Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals sitting in Washington, D.C., released their unanimous decision upholding the dismissal of charges against Marine Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani on the grounds of apparent "Unlawful Command Influence".
Over the last four years, Lt. Colonel Chessani has been investigated and prosecuted for his involvement in the so called "Haditha Massacre" - a massacre that never happened. During a recent broadcast of The Savage Nation Michael Savage said, he "would not rest" until Lt. Colonel Chessani was exonerated.
Michael Savage says, "Radio has freed an innocent man. This demonstrates the power of radio and the dedication of the Savage Nation audience to the truth." The Michael Savage Show is now the third largest radio talk show according to TALKERS Magazine and airs on well over 300 stations nationwide, 44 on the FM dial.
Richard Thompson, President and Chief Counsel of the Thomas More Law Center, observed, "Lt. Colonel Chessani, one of the most effective combat commanders we had in Iraq, was a made political scapegoat by the civilians in the Pentagon to appease the antiwar politicians and a liberal media. In fact, we now know that the story of the 'massacre' that prompted the Haditha prosecutions was a headline in a Time news article instigated by insurgent
propaganda operatives."
Thompson continued by saying, "This nation has come to the point where we can't call terrorists captured on the battlefield 'enemy combatants.' We release the terrorists out of Guantanamo and prosecute the military our country place in harms' way to defend us."
Chessani was originally charged after Time magazine accused the Marines of "massacring" civilians in the Anbar Province firefight, and Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., later publicly accused the Marine officers of a "cover-up."
Brian Rooney, spokesman for the Thomas More Law Center recently appeared on The Michael Savage Show to thank him and his listeners.
The Savage Nation is a powerhouse in national syndication. An independent-minded individualist, Michael Savage fits no stereotype.

| Las Vegas, NV -Talk Radio Network Enterprises' host Jerry Doyle, a former Wall Street Insider, spoke with Congressman John Shadegg (R-AZ) during a recent broadcast regarding Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson's lying to Congress. Doyle persuaded Congressman Shadegg to request that Treasury Secretary Paulson be brought before the Commerce Committee to answer questions regarding his behavior and to determine where the money went.
During the broadcast Doyle opened by saying, "If someone lies to Congress should they not be brought in front of a committee to talk about their perjury?" Jerry continues by saying, "Which is what they did with regards to steroids in baseball. We had to know about the palpable mass on Roger Clemens buttocks but Paulson lied to Congress. Where is the committee hearing on that guy?"
Congressman Shadegg responded by saying, "It's a great question."
Shadegg continued speaking until Doyle interjected, "Let me stop you there Congressman. 'It's a great question.' Can I have an answer?" Doyle went on to say, "Why doesn't someone that sits on a committee, haul Paulson's ass in front of the American people and say 'Who got the money? Why did you lie to Congress?' Anybody else in this country perjures themselves we know what happens."
Congressman Shadegg answered by saying, "You're right; we should." Shadegg went on to explain that he was not on the Financial Services Committee but was a member of the Commerce Committee chaired by Henry Waxman (D-CA). Shadegg agreed to make the demand to the Chairman of the Commerce Committee that Paulson be held accountable. Shadegg said, "Maybe he (Waxman) would like to rail against Hank Paulson. I'd like to know where that money went. I'd like to know what he says got done with it."
Doyle's concrete financial solutions and passionate convictions about holding government bureaucrats accountable continue to put him in the spotlight with members of Congress and Senate. He recently proposed what he called the "4% solution" to help homeowners and the economy recover. The "4% solution" requires lenders to provide a 30 year fixed rate mortgage with an interest rate of 4%. Senator Lamar Alexander (R-TN) proposed an almost identical plan to amend the economic stimulus package which was rejected.

| San Francisco, CA - Talk Radio Networks' Michael Savage and the Thomas More Law Center a Michigan based national public interest law firm; have joined forces to protect free speech by fighting the return of the so-called "Fairness Doctrine." Several Senators including Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa, and Debby Stabenow of Michigan along with former President Bill Clinton have recently talked about reinstituting the Doctrine which was abandoned in 1987. The Michael Savage Show is ranked the 3rd largest syndicated show in the country according to Talkers Magazine, with over 325 affiliates.
"Michael Savage is the personification of what the liberals hate about conservative talk radio," said Richard Thompson, President and chief counsel of the Thomas More Law Center. He continues by saying, "We're proud to represent him in this crucial battle to preserve the grand purpose of political speech protected by the First Amendment."
On a recent broadcast of the Savage Nation, Michael Savage stated that, as a conservative, he is in the minority in the media, and that many in the Democratic Party would like to see him taken off the air via the Fairness Doctrine. During The Michael Savage Show Savage explained that the Fairness Doctrine is "aimed only at Michael Savage, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and, in other words, the top five," and is intended to silence such conservative voices on radio.
"Whatever form its reinstatement may take, any limitation on the free speech rights of Michael Savage will result in an immediate legal action," the law center said. "The U. S. Supreme Court would most likely find any reinstatement of the Doctrine unconstitutional."
"With the stink of public corruption blanketing Washington, with our elected officials passing the single largest spending bill in our nation's history without even reading or debating it, with the increasing nationalization of our financial institutions, with almost dictatorial control of Congress by one political party, and with increasing signs we are becoming a socialistic country, Americans need more dynamic talk show hosts like Savage, not less," Thompson said.
"A regulation of speech motivated by nothing more than a desire to silence political opposition on controversial issues of public interest is the purest example of a law abridging the freedom of speech," said Thompson. He went on to say, "Such action is the hallmark of totalitarian governments, not a free society," he said.
Thompson continues "If the doctrine is so fair, why are the liberals limiting it only to radio... Why not television, the Internet, and all the print media?"
Savage has been an avid on-air supporter of the Thomas More Law Center which defends America's Christian heritage and moral values. Michael Savage was instrumental in marshalling support for one of the Law Center's clients Marine Lt. Col Jeffrey Chessani who is being prosecuted by the government in the so-called Haditha incident. A military judge ultimately dismissed the case. However, the government appealed. No decision has been made by the appeals court.
Michael Savage in partnership with The Thomas More Law Center is the second organization to position itself to battle any proposed version of the Fairness Doctrine, whether known by that name or another. The American Center for Law and Justice said that it is also prepared should the doctrine, "be brought back to muzzle Christian broadcasting." The organization said more than 230,000 people have signed its petition urging members of Congress to support the Broadcaster Freedom Act.
The Savage Nation is a powerhouse in national syndication. The recent contract extension with TRN demonstrates that Michael Savage will remain one of the highest ranked syndicated hosts in years to come. An independent-minded individualist, Michael Savage fits no stereotype. He attacks big government and liberal media bias, but champions the environment and animal rights.

| San Francisco, CA - Talk Radio Network's Michael Savage debated California Attorney General and Former Governor Jerry Brown during The Savage Nation on Friday, February 13, 2009. Savage discussed hot topics affecting the entire nation including: The Fairness Doctrine, the costs of illegal immigration to the State of California, and Brown's plans for his upcoming run for Governor of California. The Michael Savage Show is ranked the 3rd largest syndicated show in the country according to Talkers Magazine, with over 325 affiliates. Savage's passionate convictions on the issues makes this broadcast a must hear. If you missed it the first time you can listen here www.michaelsavage.com.
Attorney General Brown came out in favor of the Fairness Doctrine while appearing on The Michael Savage Show Friday night. While discussing the return of the Fairness Doctrine Attorney General Jerry Brown said, "A little control over the media would be a good thing."
Savage replied that, as a conservative, he is in the minority in the media, and that many in Brown's Democratic Party would like to see him taken off the air via the Fairness Doctrine. Brown responded by stating that the current situation of having talk radio dominated by conservatives allows for "one-sided presentations."
Savage then noted that former President Bill Clinton, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Sen. Debby Stabenow have called for re-establishment of the doctrine, adding that all three "want conservative voices constrained in the media." Savage questioned Brown on what side he would be on regarding the issue.
Brown said, "I think we need a robust range of opinions on the air." He continued by saying that "a little state control wouldn't hurt anybody" and said that in warning against the Fairness Doctrine, Savage was "paranoid."
Savage retorted with the fact that The Fairness Doctrine, is "aimed only at Michael Savage, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and, in other words, the top five," and is intended to silence such conservative voices on radio.
Savage continued the debate by discussing the issue of illegal immigration and its effect on California. Savage said, "Here we have a state that's going broke as many states are in the Union. We have a budget deficit of $41 billion by the best estimate - no one knows how much. In all the talk about balancing the budget from Arnold Schwarzenegger's so-called Republicans; Why has there not been one discussion about cutting off services to non-citizens, even in the emergency rooms? That would save $10 to $15 million dollars." He asked Attorney General Brown "Why is it that the government seems to think that the illegal aliens have more rights than the legal citizens?"
Brown responded by saying, "Well no one says they have more rights." He continued on by insisting that the children of illegals are not "responsible for what their parents did...the problem is the national law. When someone is here in an auto accident bleeding to death you've got to take care of them. That's just basic humanity."
Savage confirmed "I can understand that no one would argue with basic humanity." However Savage shared his personal experiences; that he had been in emergency rooms three times in the last year and that he had seen "crowds of illegal aliens being treated not for auto accidents, but they are taking their children in for the common cold and the flu. It's costing the state billions and billions of dollars. And yet in all this rhetoric, not one governor has said that the people cannot afford it. We have to cut back somewhere - how about cutting back with regards to benefits for illegal aliens? I'm bringing up hospitals, but there are many avenues where [benefits for] illegal aliens could be curtailed in some way. The citizens are being told that they have to cut back. How about the non-citizens?"
Brown agreed that all citizens are going to have to cut back, but then asked: "What are you going to do, round up several million people and take them down to the border and drop them off?"
Savage responded by saying, "You don't have to get that draconian." Savage made a suggestion that the state could put a California Highway Patrol Officer in every emergency room and ask people for proof of citizenship. He continues by saying, "We can't afford to treat you anymore. Do you have any idea how many hospitals are going bankrupt in this country because of the burden of treating illegal aliens, as required by federal law?"
Savage addresses Attorney General Brown regarding running for Governor of California by saying, "I would think you as Governor if you wanted to run and become Governor you would have to look into these things."
Towards the end of the interview Savage applauded Brown for coming on the show by saying, "It's very brave of you and very dignified to come on to The Savage Nation."

is poised for the next big break out." Boyce pointed out that in the December PPM in Chicago, Mancow had moved up 100% on WLS in both Persons 25-54 and Men 25-54, compared to the Spring Arbitron, proving "Mancow works on both the FM and AM bands."
"We are extremely happy to have Mancow in Orlando, the response has been great and his show is just absolutely amazing, we could not have asked for a better morning show for our station," says WAMT's General Manager, Paul Proly.
"I needed a show that could generate buzz before it hit the airwaves... Mancow is that show," says Hal Fish, Director of Programming Operations, WTDA, Columbus, OH.
Bradley MacMayer, Operations Manager, WDJA, West Palm Beach, FL says, "The Buzz on Mancow in my market is incredible. I can build my entire station around this guy - and I will - that's how good he is."
"I added Mancow to my mornings because I wanted to start my mornings off with a Bang," says Andy Hodges, General Manager WJFN, Jackson, MS.
Mark Masters, CEO of TRN-FM said, "As was the case of Jerry Seinfeld, who certain NBC executives stuck with for 18 long months until he broke out (going on to become the biggest TV show on NBC), Mancow has evolved to such a point that I believe he will be the 'Seinfeld' equivalent on radio, his time is now, coinciding with his own personal evolution from being the 'Mancow' of 19 years ago, to Erich 'Mancow' Muller of today - is a night and day difference." To illustrate the point, ABC/Citadel's legendary PD, Jack Swanson (KGO/KSFO San Francisco), has called Mancow the "next Rush Limbaugh".
"This will bring lots of energy to the station," says WLS-AM president and general manager, Mike Fowler. He continues by saying, "It's a younger version of Rush."
"Smart people know: the future is here. It's just not evenly distributed. Mancow represents the future of Talk Radio, and we couldn't be more excited than to have him join our weekday lineup," says WLS' Former Program Director, Kipper Mcgee.
TRN Companies are now providing several options to those stations affected by the loss of O'Reilly's Show in order to match each stations unique audience with their new line-up. Shows now available to fill O'Reilly's time slot include: The Mancow Show re-feed of that days morning show, a pre-feed of The Michael Savage Show, a re-feed of The Laura Ingraham Show, and The Tammy Bruce Show offered live.
Greg Tantum, Program Director, WTNT, Washington, D.C. says, "Mancow's irreverent and hilarious look at politics and life is a perfect addition to WTNT 570's team of the best and brightest talk personalities in Washington."
Crawford Broadcastings' Laura Scotti, General Manager KLZ, Denver and WYDE, Birmingham says, "Every instinct I had when we decided to add Mancow was right on. Mancow attracts the audience we needed to launch the new Talk format. We love this show!" She continues by saying, "The show is topical as well as relevant to today's listeners. Our audience is going to love it and we expect great things from this addition to our line-up. WYDE is proud to become the Alabama home of Mancow in the Morning."
"We are THRILLED to add MANCOW to our BABY..SPORTS RADIO AM 1470 THE FOX...No one can bring this much entertainment to Morning Radio better than the Cow...Launching the new lineup with Mancow in the Morning just made perfect sense," says Clear Channel Broadcastings' Craig Stevens, Operations Manager, WSAN, Allentown, PA.
"Mancow is the perfect addition to our lineup. He brings a fresh and quality approach to the topics of the day and adds humor with intelligent comments to the radio market in Chattanooga. In a word, Mancow is a WINNER," says Joe Mulé, General Manager, WUUS Radio, Chattanooga, TN.
Rod Stalvey, General Manager, WGTN, Myrtle Beach, SC says, "No doubt, Mancow is a welcomed addition to WGTN. His antics and his insight into today's news make him a different approach to the normal same old stuff on talk radio in the morning. Mancow is different and different is good."
Mark Masters, CEO of TRN-FM says "Mancow offers the full spectrum of entertainment - movies, music and politics - which equals massive listenership. Mancow gets this business. He understands what it takes for his stations to make money."
"People have looked at my ratings dominance in the key male demos and have tried to compare my show to others, but there is simply nothing like Mancow on the airwaves. I treat my listeners like they have brains above the waist and they respond," says Erich "Mancow" Muller.
Mancow's wide spectrum of guests have included: Joe the Plumber, Pat Buchanan, Howie Mandel, William Shatner, Russel Crow, Jack Black, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Senator Arlen Spector, Senator John Cornyn, Jerry Bruckheimer and other luminaries.
In addition to his no-holds-barred nationally syndicated radio show; Mancow is a regular contributor on the Fox News Channel's "Fox and Friends" which is a highly anticipated segment of the morning program. Mancow also contributes regular commentaries to "Chicago Tonight." This exposure on camera helped Mancow easily shine as the star of his very own hour long special on the Fox News Channel called, "Planet Mancow" which was given several encore showings.
Mancow has appeared on a variety television programs including: "Politically Incorrect," "Jerry Springer," "David Letterman," "Hard Copy" and others. Muller is the author of a Best-Selling book Dad, Dames, Demons, and a Dwarf and he has written for "Newsmax.com," "Playboy" and "Gear Magazine."

| San Francisco, CA - In an unprecedented move, Talk Radio Network, starting Monday, January 12th, will begin testing a theory with a permanent pre-feed (9 to 12 Pacific, 12 to 3 Eastern) of The Michael Savage Show. Mark Masters, CEO of TRN said, "Those stations that decide to take the early pre-feed of Savage, may ultimately be the key beneficiary of larger beneficial future announcements." Besides being ranked as the third largest syndicated talk show in the U.S., Savage has the unique distinction of being the only nationally syndicated male talk radio show host to have proven to equal Rush Limbaugh in that unique ability to create giant numbers, on a stand alone basis, and like Rush, Savage has accomplished this level of ratings performance, without being delivered strong numbers from giant lead-in shows - in other words, like Limbaugh, Savage is a true "tent pole show" while most others are often "ratings echoes" of such shows.
"Our Savage pre-feed in O'Reilly's live radio slot should prove this point yet again," says Masters. The pre-feed of The Michael Savage Show will be available starting January 12, 2009 and will provide another programming option for stations hard hit by the current economy. Michael Savage, the third largest syndicated host in the nation according to TALKERS Magazine, airs on over 300 stations nationwide, and in 43 of the top 50 markets.
Michael Savage and Talk Radio Network also recently announced a multi-year extension of their radio syndication, continuing their nine-year long business relationship. Mark Masters CEO of TRN says, "By continuing to syndicate The Michael Savage Show, Talk Radio Network is proud to lead arm and arm with one of the greatest national talk personalities on the air today. Michael is a true original - he is one in a million, and we are honored for this opportunity."
"Mark Masters knows syndication. I know Talk. It's a perfect marriage", says Savage.
The Michael Savage Show General Managers and Program Directors across the nation are thrilled with the continued success of The Michael Savage Show.
The Michael Savage Show is the number one drive-time talk show in Savage's home station at Clear Channel's KNEW in San Francisco, where Savage consistently dominates. "It's great to see that Michael has increased his dominance over all the other afternoon drive talkers here in the San Francisco market. People say someone is in a class by themselves, but Michael actually is!" says Clark Reid, PD of KNEW.
Bob Bruno, now a consultant to WOR in New York City, says, "Michael Savage is an original - you cannot ignore him. Michael is a fearless, gritty, tough, funny, street-smart, talk master - that's why we are proud to have him on WOR."
"KGIL in it's quest to become the leading talk radio station in Southern California is delighted to have Michael Savage on our KGIL line up," says Saul Levine, General Manager and Owner of Mount Wilson FM Broadcasting.
Dave Sniff, Program Director for KFMB, San Diego says, "My job is to meet my listener's expectations and my listeners expect a talk show host to be interesting. When Savage is on the air, nobody is more interesting!"
Nick Novak, Program Director for Minneapolis' WWTC The Patriot, says "Savage delivers-Ratings, Revenue and Results." He continues by saying, "Michael Savage has the most loyal and dedicated listener base on the station."
Sean Casey, Program Director of Baltimore's WCBM says, "Michael savages the competition every night with passion and information. The Savage Nation is like your favorite roller-coaster. You never want to get off and you can't wait to ride it again!"
Bruce Maduri, CEO of Genesis Communications, Inc. of Tampa's WWBA said, "Michael Savage is the most compelling talk host in radio today. He sets the tone and delivers it with the passion and intellect that no other national host can match. He not only reports the news and brings the listener a perspective where it is delivered first, Michael MAKES the news. Michael Savage IS Addictive and IS Talk Radio."
The Savage Nation is a powerhouse in national syndication. The recent contract extension with TRN demonstrates that Michael Savage will remain one of the highest ranked syndicated hosts in years to come. An independent-minded individualist, Michael Savage fits no stereotype. He attacks big government and liberal media bias, but champions the environment and animal rights. Talkers Magazine recognized his independence and the power of his opinions by awarding its Freedom of Speech award to him.
Trained as a scientist, he holds Master's degrees in medical botany and medical anthropology and earned his Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley in Epidemiology and Nutrition Science. Savage is also the author of 20 books including four N.Y. Times Best Sellers. His latest book,
"Psychological Nudity", tells his childhood stories and is largely apolitical.
The Michael Savage Show airs Live M-F 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. PST (6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. EST) and the new pre-feed airs M-F 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon PST (12:00 noon to 3:00 p.m. EST).

| Las Vegas, NV -Talk Radio Network Enterprises' host Jerry Doyle recently appeared as a special financial expert on FNC's Fox & Friends. Doyle discussed his thoughts on the economic crisis and the big three auto bailout. Doyle expressed views that many Americans have, but few can articulate. The Jerry Doyle Show reaches 3 million listeners every week, according to Talkers Magazine (Spring 2008 Radio Audiences Report) and is heard on over 240 stations.
Doyle's appearance on Fox & Friends focused on the bailout of the big three automakers. The House passed the measure which was crafted by Democrats and the White House with scant Republican support.
Doyle's response was, "First of all, I am for NO bailout at all." He continued by saying, "if the big three automakers had been the only entities that came to taxpayers and said we need some help; I think people would have said let's bailout the big three." Doyle pointed out that General Motors was losing $181,000 per minute in the second quarter of this year. "We cannot get in the business of selecting who succeeds and who fails, who bails and who doesn't, because ultimately the question is who is going to bailout the bailouters? We the taxpayers are ultimately going to be on the hook for this. We are the bailouters."
Doyle also criticized politicians handling the bailout. Doyle said, "Arresting Treasury Secretary Paulson would be a good start." Doyle goes on to say that Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke should resign because he is incompetent and that the current head of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Chris Cox should be fired.
Talk Radio Network Enterprises' Jerry Doyle, brings over a decade of real life experience from Wall Street and the financial markets to his viewers and listeners nationwide. A Wall Street insider, Doyle was previously employed by Drexel Burnham Lambert the most successful Wall Street firm in the Eighties.

| New York, NY - Talk Radio Network has announced that Phil Boyce will serve as the President of Talk Radio Network Syndications and hold the position of President of Programming for the following Talk Radio Network companies: The Original Talk Radio Network, Talk Radio Network Enterprises, Talk Radio Network Entertainment, and Talk Radio Network-FM. Talk Radio Network's nationally syndicated line up includes: The Michael Savage Show, The Laura Ingraham Show, The Monica Crowley Show, The Jerry Doyle Show, The Rusty Humphries Show, The Mancow Show, The Phil Hendrie Show, The Tammy Bruce Show, Michio Kaku's Science Fantastic, Motor Trend Radio, and many more.
Mark Masters, CEO of Talk Radio Network says, "We are proud to announce that Phil Boyce has joined Talk Radio Network as President of Programming. There is nobody in the radio industry that has more experience in programming and harvesting new talent than Phil Boyce."
"This is a natural transition for me, and I felt the timing was perfect for me to strike out as an entrepreneur. The best of them is Mark Masters," said Boyce. "I was always a multi-tasker, and I became a syndicator out of necessity so I could make sure my shows had the TLC it takes to make it. I patterned much of my success after what I learned from Mark. It makes perfect sense for us to join forces now, and help radio out of this difficult economic situation."
Boyce programmed stations for ABC beginning with WJR, Detroit in 1991 and later moved to WABC, New York in 1995. He is credited with rebuilding the station in 1996 after the firing of Bob Grant sent half his listeners across town. It took him 5 years to return WABC to the top of the heap where it remains today. Boyce's last book, the September PPM, showed WABC with 5.0 share and 3rd place 12+ rank (first on the AM band), the highest since the station went talk in 1982.
Boyce served as Vice President of News/Talk programming for ABC Radio and later Citadel, where he created such hit shows as Curtis and Kuby, Matt Drudge, Sean Hannity, and Mark Levin. The latter 3 shows became syndicated hits for the ABC Radio Network, under Boyce's leadership. He also served in a dual capacity, supervising the News/Talk stations for the company, including KGO and KSFO in San Francisco, KABC in Los Angeles, WBAP in Detroit, WLS in Chicago, WJR in Detroit, and WMAL in Washington, while also programming WABC in New York for nearly the last 14 years.
"Talk Radio Network is the leading independent syndicator in the country," said Boyce. "I am thrilled to join Mark and his entire crew. I know we will continue to create great radio together."

| Chicago, IL - Talk Radio Network - FMs' Erich "Mancow" Muller returns to the Chicago airwaves on legendary WLS and reveals six additional stations being added to the show's growing affiliate list. The latest new additions to Mancow's nationally syndicated show include: WTNT, Washington, D.C.; WUUS, Chattanooga, TN; WPBQ, Jackson, MS; WGTN, Myrtle Beach, SC; KCCT, Corpus Christi, TX and KBRA, Freer, MS. Mancow has recently added a whopping eleven new affiliates across the country.
Mancow will air on WLS in the 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. slot separate from his TRN-FM syndicated show. "This will bring lots of energy to the station," says WLS-AM president and general manager, Mike Fowler. "It's a younger version of Rush, with some Roe Conn thrown in."
In a recent interview Mancow said, "He couldn't be happier about the new chapter in his broadcasting career at WLS, Chicago's Talk Station."
WLS' Program Director, Kipper Mcgee says, "Smart people know: the future is here. It's just not evenly distributed. Mancow represents the future of Talk Radio, and we couldn't be more excited than to have him join our weekday lineup!"
Mark Masters, CEO of TRN-FM said, "As was the case of Jerry Seinfeld, who certain NBC executives stuck with for 18 long months until he broke out (going on to become the biggest TV show on NBC), Mancow has evolved to such a point that I believe he will be the 'Seinfeld' equivalent on radio, his time is now, coinciding with his own personal evolution from being the 'Mancow' of 19 years ago, to Erich 'Mancow' Muller of today - is a night and day difference." To illustrate the point, ABC/Citadel's legendary PD, Jack Swanson (KGO/KSFO San Francisco), has called Mancow the "next Rush Limbaugh".
Greg Tantum, Program Director, WTNT, Washington, D.C. says, "Mancow's irreverent and hilarious look at politics and life is a perfect addition to WTNT 570's team of the best and brightest talk personalities in Washington." "Mancow is the perfect addition to our lineup. He brings a fresh and quality approach to the topics of the day and adds humor with intelligent comments to the radio market in Chattanooga. In a word, Mancow is a WINNER," says Joe Mulé, General Manager, WUUS Radio, Chattanooga, TN.
Rod Stalvey, General Manager, WGTN, Myrtle Beach, SC says, "No doubt, Mancow is a welcomed addition to WGTN. His antics and his insight into today's news make him a different approach to the normal same old stuff on talk radio in the morning. Mancow is different and different is good."
Mark Masters, CEO of TRN-FM says "Mancow offers the full spectrum of entertainment - movies, music and politics - which equals massive listenership. Mancow gets this business. He understands what it takes for his stations to make money."
"People have looked at my ratings dominance in the key male demos and have tried to compare my show to others, but there is simply nothing like Mancow on the airwaves. I treat my listeners like they have brains above the waist and they respond," says Erich "Mancow" Muller.
Mancow's wide spectrum of guests have included: Joe the Plumber, Pat Buchanan, Howie Mandel, William Shatner, Russel Crow, Jack Black, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Senator Arlen Spector, Senator John Cornyn, Jerry Bruckheimer and other luminaries.
In addition to his no-holds-barred nationally syndicated radio show; Mancow is a regular contributor on the Fox News Channel's "Fox and Friends" which is a highly anticipated segment of the morning program. This exposure on camera helped Mancow easily shine as the star of his very own hour long special on the Fox News Channel called, "Planet Mancow" which was given several encore showings.
In addition to all of these media engagements, Mancow also contributes commentaries to "Chicago Tonight." Mancow has appeared on a variety television programs including: "Politically Incorrect," "Jerry Springer," "David Letterman," "Hard Copy" and others. Muller is the author of a Best-Selling book Dad, Dames, Demons, and a Dwarf and he has written for "Newsmax.com," "Playboy" and "Gear Magazine."
Mancow's nationally syndicated show airs live Monday-Friday from 5:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. CST on TRN-FM. |

| Central Point, OR - Talk Radio Network's Rusty Humphries interviewed Republican Presidential Candidate John McCain on his show yesterday, Thursday, October 16, 2008. The interview included topics from the latest debate including: How Joe the Plumber would be affected by McCain's and Obama's tax plans, addressed issues related to ACORN and voter fraud, and touched on the insurgence in Iraq. The Rusty Humphries Show now offers online streaming of the show free throughout the election at www.talktorusty.com.
Humphries began by stating that, in his opinion, Senator McCain won the last debate. He then asked Senator McCain what Obama's response was to Joe the Plumber. Obama's response at that time was "We need to spread the wealth around." McCain said, "That this is class warfare," and continued by saying, "We want Joe to keep his money and educate his kids and create new jobs." He went on to say, "There is a fundamental difference that was relayed... that was amply displayed there between my view and Senator Obama's very liberal left view of what our government should be doing in America today. I think his encounter with Joe the Plumber, Joe Wurzelbacher was a defining moment in this campaign."
Humphries took notice of Senator McCain confronting Senator Obama about ACORN during the most recent debate. McCain said, "The fact is that he and William Ayers, the unrepentant terrorist, were on the board together... they gave $230,000 to guess who, ACORN. His campaign in the primary gave $832,000 for quote writing and sight prep." McCain continued by saying, "There is no doubt that the activities of ACORN and their front groups that there is serious allegations of massive voter fraud going on which will deprive Americans of their most sacred right and that is a free and fair election."
Humphries asked Senator McCain, about the war in Iraq and when he knew that the surge was necessary. McCain replied by saying, "For a long time I was frustrated by the Bush/Rumsfeld Strategy and I knew it was failing. When we supported the surge they said my campaign was dead. I said I would rather lose a campaign than lose the war."
Mark Masters, CEO of Talk Radio Network says, "Humphries continues to deliver what his audience demands. While other news shows cover yesterday's events, Humphries can provide election coverage as it happens."
The Rusty Humphries Show is now heard on over 220 affiliates nationwide. Humphries continues to deliver a supersized program that focuses on politics and historical background in an interesting, fun and entertaining way, bringing a fresh new quality to "political talk radio".

Sarah Palin discussed a number of hot topics including abortion, Bill Ayers and ACORN. Laura Ingraham Show is now ranked the 5th largest syndicated show according to Talkers Magazine with over 300 affiliates nationwide and has the largest audience of any women in political talk radio history.
Laura Ingraham asked Gov. Palin about the position that Barack Obama took on infants born alive after an abortion. Ingraham noted that Obama called them "pre-viable fetuses, because if you call them people it would ban abortions." Palin said Obama's position on this was, "Absolutely atrocious," and continued by saying, "I wish I had more time to explain to people what Barack Obama's position has been on this." She went on to say that Barack Obama said, "Abortion is a fundamental right." Gov. Palin stated, "Obama opposes banning partial-birth abortion ... but even more telling; three times Obama voted against providing medical care for survivors of abortion."
During the discussion with Ingraham about Barack Obama's involvement with Bill Ayers Gov. Sarah Palin stated, "Barack Obama hasn't told the American people the total truth on that about his associations ... when, where, and all the questions that are finally being asked about the association with the unrepentant domestic terrorist who did raise the campaign to bomb the U.S. Capital and the Pentagon." Later in the interview speaking again about Barack Obama's associates Gov. Sarah Palin stated, "We gotta start getting answers to those questions that are paramount here."
Ingraham asked Gov. Palin, "Do you think Gov. Palin, Acorn, that group that is getting out the vote, multiple registrations, ten investigations, states across the country... Do you think what they are doing with the voter registration drive could amount to a criminal enterprise?" Palin responded be saying, "It's fraud, the connection to ACORN, ...it's fraud... doesn't anyone have a conscious anymore ?" Palin noted that Obama fails to tell the American people of his longstanding relationship with ACORN.
Women to women; --Ingraham extended an open invitation to Gov. Sarah Palin to appear on The Laura Ingraham Show every week to talk directly to millions of listeners about these issues.
Gov. Sarah Palin made history as the first woman to become Alaska's chief executive. As the 11th governor of Alaska, she has successfully fought special interests, lobbyists, Big Oil companies and the good ol' boys network to reform a system that had bred corruption in her state.

| Washington, D.C. - Talk Radio Network Enterprises' The Laura Ingraham Show announced plans to broadcast live from both the Democratic and Republican conventions. The strategy is to talk directly with the news makers present as events unfold on the convention floors and report back to her radio audience.
As a prelude to the conventions, Ingraham had the honor of an exclusive interview with presumptive Republican Presidential Nominee John McCain on Wednesday's program.
Ingraham brought up the fact that Senator McCain is now five points ahead of Senator Barack Obama in the latest Rueters/Zogby poll. Ingraham also mentioned that she believed that the increase in the latest poll was due to Senator McCain articulating more conservative views including a pro-life stance.
She asked her national radio audience to email any questions they had for Senator McCain. The overwhelming majority of questions Ingraham received were regarding his decision about a vice-presidential running mate; the question everyone has been asking. McCain replied saying, "I have not made the decision and we are in the process."
Ingraham then brought up all the competition from abroad and how the United States is doing economically. When she asked McCain about the reports that China's economy will be larger than the U.S. in the year 2020 and referred to the Midwest as the Rust Belt, McCain replied, " I grow a little weary, and frankly the people in Michigan, Ohio, Arizona and others are a little weary of people saying, WE CAN'T. We can't drill off shore, we can't build nuclear power plants, we can't build hybrid cars, we can't make use of natural gas, and we can't utilize clean coal technology. AMERICA CAN...that is the history of our country... America can...must, and will."
Senator John McCain stated that, "The United States is the most innovative, the most productive and the biggest exporter...America's best days are ahead of us." Senator McCain went on to say that, "The Twenty-first Century will be the American Century as well."
Ingraham asked McCain if he ever answered a question with the phrase, " That's above my pay grade," McCain replied, "No, no, and not especially anyone who aspires to be the president of the United States...I don't know any pay grade higher than that." This was in reference to a recent remark made by Senator Obama in a nationally televised interview.
The Laura Ingraham Show is ranked as the 5th largest syndicated show according to Talkers Magazine with over 300 affiliates nationwide. Ingraham is heard in 23 of the top 25 metro markets and 44 of the top 50 metro markets.

New York, NY - Talk Radio Network Entertainments' The Darla Shine Show is now heard on over 100 affiliates; spreading the message of The Happy Housewives Club nationwide. Shine encourages listeners to be active participants in the show by calling in and being involved. Talk Radio Network Entertainment launched the show less than 6 months ago and already has many affiliates in the top 50 metro markets. The latest additions to the The Darla Shine Show include: WSIC and WSPC, Charlotte-Gastonia, NC-SC; and WPMH, Norfolk-Virginia Beach, VA.
Darla Shine says, "I am thrilled to be heard on more than 100 stations across America. I knew my show would be embraced because I am talking about all the issues families are talking about at their kitchen table. After writing my book Happy Housewives and creating my website www.happyhousewivesclub.com it was clear to me that the moms felt ignored by the media." She continues by saying, "Mark Masters (CEO of Talk Radio Network Entertainment) is innovative and brilliant. He thinks outside the box and he knew there was an opportunity to talk to the soccer moms of America. I am grateful to Mark and thrilled to be part of the Network."
In this male dominated radio industry Shine has arrived to shout out to all women that it's time for the matriarch of the family to be heard. Shine says, "Can you believe the housewives of America have been ignored for this long?" She believes it is her role to lead the new movement to save the traditional family and bring back respect for the mother.
Shine has over 12 field reporters in different areas of expertise that contribute to The Darla Shine Show as well as to her website. Field experts include a cooking editor, a work at home editor, military expert, a holistic living and nutritionist expert, a housekeeping and cleaning expert, as well as many others. Contributors provide "tips and tricks" for their area of expertise which are incorporated into the show and on the website. From current events to cutting coupons, Shine brings every issue home to the family.
As a former television producer turned stay at home mom, Shine says there is nothing harder than being home with the children. Disgusted that her feminist friends turned their noses up at her when she traded her brief case for a diaper bag, Shine was prompted to write her best selling book, Happy Housewives.
After receiving more than 20 thousand emails from women across the United States thanking her for affirming their role, Shine decided they needed a community where they could support each other. So she created the most popular site for housewives on the net, www.happyhousewivesclub.com. She offers a radio show forum on her website, where listeners can exchange comments with one another about the show.
Shine says, "The listeners are the voices America needs to hear." She continues by saying, "My show will never be celebrity based. All of the listeners are the real stars; the real heroes."

| San Francisco, CA - Michael Savage and the listeners of The Savage Nation have been instrumental to the vindication of Lt. Colonel Chessani, in relation to the so-called Haditha Massacre in Iraq. For over a year on his nationally syndicated talk show The Savage Nation. Michael Savage said, he "would not rest" until Lt. Colonel Chessani was exonerated. Savage personally gave $25,000 to Chessani's defense fund and his listeners helped raise over $200,000 on the air. Earlier this week, a military judge dismissed charges against Chessani, a Marine officer accused of failing to investigate the killings of 24 Iraqis; however yesterday the government, through Lt. Col. S.M. Sullivan, filed a notice that it would appeal the case to the next judicial level.
Michael Savage says, "Radio has freed an innocent man. This demonstrates the power of radio and the dedication of the Savage Nation audience to the truth." The Savage Nation is now the third largest radio talk show according to TALKERS Magazine and airs on well over 300 stations nationwide, 44 on the FM dial.
Chessani was originally charged after Time magazine accused the Marines of "massacring" civilians in the Anbar Province firefight, and Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., later publicly accused the Marine officers of a "cover-up."
Col. Steven Folsom dismissed charges against Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani after finding that a four-star general overseeing the case was improperly influenced by an investigator probing the November 2005 shootings by a Marine squad in Haditha. Chessani was the highest-ranking officer to face a combat-related court-martial since the Vietnam War.
Folsom agreed with Savage and his listeners when he said, "Unlawful command influence is the mortal enemy of military justice. In order to restore the public confidence, we need to take it back. We need to turn the clock back."
The charges were dismissed without prejudice, meaning they can be re-filed, but Folsom barred Marine Forces Central Command from any future involvement in the case.
Only one of the marines out of the eight originally charged in the case is still facing prosecution; in the biggest U.S. criminal case involving Iraqi deaths to come out of this war.
After a rare courtroom appearance by Gen. James Mattis, a high ranking officer, Folsom made his ruling to address the judge's initial finding that there was evidence of unlawful command influence in the case.
Brian Rooney, spokesman for the Thomas More Law Center who was the chief attorney defending Chessani, recently appeared on The Michael Savage Show to thank him and his listeners. During the show Rooney said, "Thank you on behalf of the Thomas More Law Center and the Chessani's for all the support that you and your listeners have given us."
The Savage Nation is a powerhouse in national syndication. An independent-minded individualist, Michael Savage fits no stereotype. He attacks big government and liberal media bias, but champions the environment and animal rights. Trained as a scientist, he holds Master's degrees in medical botany and medical anthropology and earned his Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley in Epidemiology and Nutrition Science.
Michael Savage was named 2007's recipient of TALKERS Magazine's Freedom of Speech Award. Previous recognitions for Savage include his nomination for 2007 Syndicated Talk Host of the Year by Radio and Records Magazine, in addition to being named the 3rd largest radio talk show host in America by TALKERS Magazine. Savage was also ranked No. 4 in "The Top 25 Most Influential Talk-Radio Hosts" by NewsMax Magazine.
Michael Savage is the author of four best selling books - The Savage Nation, The Enemy Within, and Liberalism is a Mental Disorder, his most recent book is the irreverent Political Zoo. Savage is the number one drive-time talk show host in the San Francisco market as well as many other cities across America.

| Chicago, IL - Talk Radio Network FM's Erich "Mancow" Muller shares his stories in the new book The Chris Farley Show, A Biography in Three Acts scheduled to be released in May of this year. It is the true story of a man who lived to make us laugh and died as a result; written by Tom Farley Jr., Chris's older brother and Tanner Colby. In the book, Chris Farley, the Saturday Night Live star is remembered by his family, colleagues, and friends including Mancow host of Mancow's Morning Madhouse.
Tom Farley Jr., author of The Chris Farley Show, was a special guest on Mancow's Morning Madhouse May 12, 2008. Mancow shared many of his personal memories of Chris Farley and their time together; he played several voicemails that Chris Farley had left for him over the years. During the segment Mancow said, "In retrospect, I wish I would have picked up the phone, maybe I could have done something."
Chris Farley moved back to Chicago, and took up residence in John Hancock Center, where the radio studio of Mancow was also located. According to the book, "Chris frequently popped in at the show (Mancow's Morning Madhouse) on his way in or out of the building...the show gave Chris a stage whenever he needed one."
In The Chris Farley Show Mancow shares his story about visiting Chris Farley at his apartment and his attraction to clowns. "Chris had all these pictures of clowns in his hallway. He said that they frightened and fascinated him and that he found them sad. When he was drinking he would always talk like Burl Ives and sing old Burl Ives songs. He'd go, 'A little bitty tear let me down, spoiled my act as a clown.' He'd sing that over and over and over."
Mancow contributes a heartfelt remembrance of events in the book The Chris Farley Show as he shares about a moment when Chris left one of the many rehabilitation centers. "That May, Chris Rock was performing in Chicago. Farley called me and said, 'I've broken out of prison. I'm out. I want to go see my boy Chris Rock!' Chris broke out of rehab to go to this show. I met him at his apartment, and I was begging him not to drink. I was sitting there, going, No, No, Chris. Please.
"He said, 'Just a little splash.' That's how it started off, a Coke with a splash of whiskey - and I mean just a drop. Then an hour later it turned into a glass of whiskey with a splash of Coke. We went to the concert to meet Tim Meadows and his wife, and I spent the whole night fighting him." Mancow tells this story like no one else can.
Mancow's Morning Madhouse recently announced eight additional affiliate stations being added to the show's growing affiliate list. The latest new additions include: WCFO, Atlanta; WVIE, Baltimore; WIST, New Orleans; KHBZ, Honolulu; WEEO, Hagerstown-Chambersburg, PA; KURQ, San Luis Obispo, CA; KDZZ, Rochester, MN and KTFS, Texarkana, TX. TRN-FM's Mancow's Morning Madhouse has added a whopping twenty-one new affiliates since last year expanding the shows reach across the country.
Mancow is a regular contributor on the Fox News Channel's "Fox and Friends" which is a highly anticipated segment of the morning program. This exposure on camera helped Mancow easily shine as the star of his very own hour long special on the Fox News Channel called, "Planet Mancow" which was given several encore showings.
In addition to all of these media engagements, Mancow has also contributed commentaries to "Chicago Tonight" a TV talk show covering current events.

| WASHINGTON, D.C. - Talk Radio Network host Rusty Humphries is teaming up with Sons and Daughters In Touch (SDIT) over the Memorial Day weekend for a national radiothon to benefit SDIT and its support of the construction of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Education Center on the National Mall.
The SDIT National Radiothon will air nationwide on Talk Radio Network's The Rusty Humphries Show May 23 through 26. SDIT-a national nonprofit organization comprised of nearly 3,000 Americans who lost their fathers in the Vietnam War-will be enlisting the support of Humphries, an SDIT member whose father, Army Capt. Gary D. Humphries, was killed on Jan. 29, 1969 in Tay Ninh Province, Vietnam. For the past 18 years, Sons and Daughters In Touch has worked to locate, unite and provide support to the now-grown children of American servicemen who made the ultimate sacrifice in the Vietnam War.
The Rusty Humphries Show is now heard on over 200 affiliates nationwide and is ranked the 10th largest syndicated talk show in the country according to Talkers Magazine. Talk Radio Network is expecting a huge amount of support and donations from Rusty Humphries' listeners showing support of Sons and Daughters In Touch and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
"Sons and Daughters In Touch members are grateful to 'one of our own' Rusty Humphries and his radio program The Rusty Humphries Show for this support in preserving the legacy of our fathers who made the ultimate sacrifice in the Vietnam War," said Tony Cordero, SDIT founder and chairman.
"Sons and Daughters In Touch challenges Americans this Memorial Day weekend to help preserve the legacy of those who were killed or remain missing-many of whom were fathers-by contributing to this campaign that will support the construction of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Education Center," Cordero said.
The SDIT National Radiothon airing on Talk Radio Network's Rusty Humphries Show during May 23, 24 and 26 (Memorial Day Weekend) is part of SDIT's "Honoring Every Name on The Wall" campaign, a grassroots fundraising effort that kicked off Veterans Day 2007 in conjunction with the 25th anniversary of The Wall.

Proceeds will be presented to Vietnam Veterans Memorial founder Jan Scruggs June 15 during the Father's Day Rose Remembrance Ceremony at The Wall.
"I feel that there is no greater cause than to ensure that my father and the more than 58,000 other Americans who were killed or are missing are forever remembered as not only a name on that strikingly beautiful black granite memorial, but to show that those names were fathers and sons who were struck down in the prime of their lives for a noble cause. I urge my listeners and every patriotic American to donate to the 'Honoring Every Name on The Wall' campaign this Memorial Day Weekend," Humphries said.

| NYC, NY - Host of Talk Radio Network Entertainment's Science Fantastic, Michio Kaku's latest book PHYSICS OF THE IMPOSSIBLE hit the NY Times Bestseller list. PHYSICS OF THE IMPOSSIBLE takes us on an exciting scientific tour beyond science fiction, fantasy, and magic. Never before has a book explored the vast realm of human and scientific possibility on so grand a scale. Science Fantastic hosted by Michio Kaku has also increased in audience as Kaku has grown in popularity as a bestselling author and has made many recent appearances on TV documentaries. Science Fantastic now has over 115 affiliate radio stations nationwide.
In PHYSICS OF THE IMPOSSIBLE A Scientific Exploration Into the World of Phasers, Force Fields, Teleportation, and Time Travel Michio Kaku explores to what extent technologies and devices deemed impossible today might become commonplace in the future. Kaku is one of the world's leading experts in theoretical physics and according to New York Magazine, one of the "100 Smartest People in New York." Listeners from all walks of life tune in to Science Fantastic to hear Dr. Kaku discuss today's hottest and most relevant scientific/cultural topics covering everything from black holes and parallel universes to hip, provocative discussions on philosophy and the latest technology.
From teleportation to the routine use of force fields, Kaku uses the world of science fiction to explore the fundamentals - and the limits - of the laws of physics as we know them today. "Science and science fiction buffs can easily follow Kaku's explanations as he shows that in the wonderful worlds of science, impossible things are happening every day," says Publishers Weekly Magazine.
The Economist Magazine says, "Michio Kaku's latest book, PHYSICS OF THE IMPOSSIBLE, explains exactly why some visions of the future may eventually be realized while others are likely to remain beyond the bounds of possibility...Science fiction often explores such questions; science falls silent at this point. Mr. Kaku's work helps to fill a void."
Dr. Kaku is the author of three other international best-sellers; Hyperspace, Parallel Worlds, and Visions: How Science Will Revolutionize the 21st Century. Hyperspace was voted one of the best science books of the year by both the New York Times and the Washington Post.

Charlotte Burke, Program Director, News Talk 720 KDWN, Las Vegas says, "Phil could do a show just like other talk hosts do -and he'd be great at it. But that would be like asking Pamela Anderson to grab her floatation device and walk, not run, along the beach."
John Mountz of Super Talk 99.7 WTN in Nashville, says, "When I found out Phil Hendrie was back, my first thought was how do we get it? I was pleasantly surprised the show is live during the difficult to fill overnight slot. At last, a show that can give my competitor a run for its money. From the listener responses I have gotten so far, it was a great programming move for WTN."
In Omaha, Neil Nelkin, Program Director of KKAR says, "Phil Hendrie was the perfect addition to the KKAR schedule. A live show during the late night hours: relevant, foreground and outspoken. Response for the first two weeks has been much more than I expected."
John Starr, General Manager, WBXY, Gainesville, says, "Phil Hendrie is a truly unique and gifted radio personality. We've had many listeners rejoice that Phil is back and on our station. He goes well with Mancow."
In Tucson, Chuck Meyer, KCUB says "As someone who has had the pleasure of working with Phil Hendrie in the past, I have a special appreciation for his talents beyond my enjoyment of his show as a listener. Phil is his own niche. Nobody should go where Phil goes - or should even try."
Johnnie Walker, Program Director, KROD-AM, El Paso says, "There are few names that generate so much enthusiasm in the radio talk world as Phil Hendrie. Most new talk shows need a killer demo to sell itself to potential markets, but Phil's name almost sells the show by itself! The excitement in the responses when I mentioned the possibility of getting this show was key in making the call. Not many talk show hosts can generate THIS much excitement about a show."
Jerry Evans, Owner of KKFT-FM, Reno says, "I chose Phil Hendrie because you can expect the unexpected. There simply isn't another radio show like it in any radio format."
Phil Hendrie has been in radio broadcasting for over 30 years and began doing talk radio in 1990. The first Phil Hendrie Show was a comedy talk radio program that became renowned for its unique and controversial guests, who were actually fictional characters created and voiced by Hendrie himself.
Hendrie's voice has appeared in popular animated features in the past several years, including FOX sitcoms King of the Hill and Futurama, as well as the 2005 cinematic smash-hit Team America: World Police. In 2006, he starred in the NBC sitcom Teachers. He recently starred in the FOX/CBS pilot The Giants of Radio.
The Phil Hendrie Show airs Monday through Friday from 1:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m. Eastern/10:00 to 1:00 a.m. Pacific, and is re-fed 4:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. Eastern/ 1:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m. Pacific on TRN-FM.

| Orlando, FL. - Talk Radio Network's nationally syndicated talk show host, Rusty Humphries, has a reputation for reporting from the front lines of the War on Terror. He has bolstered that hard-earned reputation after an exclusive, inside look at terrorist and Muslim Extremist activities in Brussels, Afghanistan and London. Humphries was invited as the sole journalist to chronicle a secret, "Need to know," inspection of NATO's efforts in Afghanistan by Supreme Allied Commander of Europe, General John Craddock. This trip to the front lines of the Afghanistan war zone triggered Humphries' three part investigation of the War on Terror outside of the United States.
BRUSSELS
Humphries reports that the influence of extremists in Brussels, the capital of the European Union, is pervasive and troubling. "The Muslim extremist threat is far worse than the American media reports," says Humphries. "There's absolutely nothing on the news about this and Americans will be shocked when this story reaches the antique, head-in-the-sand, media."
AFGHANISTAN
The details of this trip, to date, have been kept secret due to safety concerns. Humphries and General Craddock inspected four separate provinces and war zones. Afghanistan, one of the key regions in the fight against terror, continues to face the threat of a Taliban resurgence. The Taliban, like Al Qaeda, are Muslim fundamentalists and a key support group to Osama bin Laden and his followers. Afghanistan remains a major producer of opium and there is an active attempt to cut off the drug trade as a source of income for terrorists. Additionally, Humphries visited a town in the NE province of Afghanistan called Feyzabad. The location is so remote; it is the only area the Taliban did not gain control. The poverty and lifestyle is that out of the 1600's.
LONDON
London was Humphries final stop and, incredibly, his life and freedom was in jeopardy there, as well. As Humphries has reported in the past, London is a significant hotbed of extremist activities and terrorism plots. While in London, Humphries interviewed the infamous Member of Parliament, George Galloway. Galloway, now that Tony Blair has stepped down, is the best known member of Parliament in the world today. A self-proclaimed anti-American and good friend of Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, and Yassir Arafat and Saddam Hussein (when alive), Galloway thanked Humphries for the interview by attempting to have him arrested inside the halls of Parliament.
Humphries then visited and interviewed attendees of the London Central Mosque. These recorded interviews demonstrate the shocking and extreme views of Muslims living in London. With ties to Osama bin Laden, those interviewed were the recipients of videos sent directly from the man who masterminded 9/11 and so much more.
The Rusty Humphries Show is a fast-paced, issue-oriented, caller-driven talk show. Rusty's unique talent can make you laugh one minute and cry the next as he challenges his listeners on the hottest topics of the day. His "matter-of-fact" common sense delivery is highly entertaining and informative. Rusty's high-energy and passion transcends the radio and makes it feel as though he is in the same room with you.
Rusty has been nominated for R&R News/Talk Personality of the Year and for the last five years in a row has been named to Talkers Magazine's "Heavy 100". Rusty was inducted into the Nevada Broadcasters Hall of Fame as its youngest inductee ever.
Listen for Rusty's quick wit and sincere passion as he engages his callers and audience in the hottest conversations of the day.
