MICHAEL MEDVED is out and controversial former TRUMP campaign figure Dr. SEBASTIAN GORKA is in at SALEM RADIO NETWORK, with “AMERICA FIRST WITH SEBASTIAN GORKA” debuting JANUARY 1st for weekdays 3-6p (ET). MEDVED will continue his show but not on SRN; He had previously been rumored to be on the outs with the network due to his status as the host most critical of President TRUMP on the schedule.
“I couldn’t be more pleased to have talent like SEBASTIAN GORKA joining the SALEM lineup,” said CEO ED ATSINGER. “He’s a perfect fit. Brilliant, insightful, educated and uniquely experienced. A great addition to the best faculty in Talk radio.”
MEDVED said, “I feel grateful for the more than 21 years I’ve worked with SALEM MEDIA GROUP, and I wish continued success to my friends and colleagues at the network. Together with my team of producers here in SEATTLE, we’ll be continuing our daily broadcast with no interruption, making it available to our devoted listeners in an exciting new format. We’ll also move forward with our emphasis on history programs and commentary to encourage public appreciation of the real blessings of this amazing country. Stay tuned.”
“Radio has always been my first love, since I listened to Talk radio late at night on a transistor radio as a child,” said GORKA. “AMERICA is finally recovering its rightful place as the shining city on a hill after eight years of liberal self-loathing. SALEM’s broadcasts are essential to that recovery and I am honored to join SALEM’s team, the greatest lineup in talk radio with true patriots like PRAGER, GALLAGHER, HEWITT, ELDER and METAXAS.”
“There is a culture war going on in this country, and Dr. GORKA is uniquely qualified to take this fight to talk radio,” said SRN SVP PHIL BOYCE. “His program will deal with the hot breaking news stories of each day, and help listeners understand what to make of it.”
