Syndicated Talk Radio Adds Another Conservative Voice

This should piss off the Fairness Doctrine nags. Premiere Radio Network is syndicating frequent Rush sub Jason Lewis. Another conservative voice haranguing the liberal media and Dems. Jason will have more listeners on his first day than the entire roster of liberal media talkers in the aggregate.

Tom Taylor Radio Info: Expect Premiere to announce Jason’s addition to the weekday lineup as soon as today. In fact I believe the KTLK-FM, Minneapolis afternoon host will also start today, based on his own comments last week. Jason spent a decade at Hubbard’s KSTP (1500) in Minneapolis, did three years at WBT-AM/FM, Charlotte (1110/99.3) before repatriating to the Twin Cities, this time at Clear Channel-owned conservative-talk KTLK-FM (100.3). He’s filled in for Rush Limbaugh and done guest shots on NBC’s Today Show, CNN, Fox News Channel, MSNBC and CNBC. His KTLK-FM bio says he enjoys the lighter side of radio, too – he features Elvis clips and his “Beatle Bumper [bumper-music] Friday” is a regular feature. So why is Premiere interested in adding a conservative host in the same timeslot where Michael Savage does “Savage Nation”? The News/Talk board at Radio-Info.com is already revving up its starboard-thrusters over the hiring.

CB: Because Jason is cuter than Savage and Savage never enjoys the lighter side of anything 0 and is a pain in the ass with a big anti-Muslim mouth. Premiere won't get any bad press with Lewis. Or lawsuits. Or protests.
