AL FRANKEN INKS DEAL WITH PROGRESS MEDIA TO HOST RADIO TALK SHOW

Robert Kennedy Jr. Also to Host Show
Network Finalizes Agreement on Chicago Station

New York, January 13, 2003 ? Progress Media announced today that comedian and best-selling author Al Franken will hit the airwaves to host his own radio talk show when the radio network launches. The signing of Robert Kennedy Jr. to co-host a talk show and a radio network distribution deal in Chicago were also announced.

Franken?s show will air weekdays.

?Al is one of the new masters of political humor. His entertaining and insightful comedy and commentary has established him as one of the savviest and most engaging voices in America today. We are thrilled to have him aboard,? said Progress Media Chief Executive Officer, Mark Walsh.

This ends a year of speculation about whether Franken would jump into radio. ?Our long national nightmare is over,? said Franken. ?I?ve signed.

?My first priority is to get sued by a right wing jerk in order to generate interest in my new show, The O?Franken Factor,? Franken said. Our hope is to do drug-free talk radio, although I understand it?s never been done.

11. Yep,and if you've never heard RK Jr talk.....

Damn is he good. Hannity had him on one night--big,big mistake,Kennedy tore him a new one..which with Hannity is very,very easy to do as long as he can't cut you off.

Even Alan "candy" Colmes didn't have to chime in,Kennedy turned Hannity every way but loose. It was a killer....Heh eh...

19. OK

Thanks for leaving my post up. I figured Air America wouldn't mind - it's a press release. Maybe that's why you left it up.

12. Let me know who the advertisers are

Don't listen to radio, but if you can tell me who advertises on this program I will attempt to puchase their product and let them know I appreciatte their support of Liberal radio.

13. Been on their mailing list for a few months

and it's been dead. I was wondering if the start was delayed.

Supposedly we're getting an outlet in Chicago - I'll be tuned in 24/7.

Yesterday there was a thread on how some Republichick is going to have a show on the network. We need to discourage this vigorously.

14. My luck

I live in between two of the largest markets in the country (NY and Philly) and my luck will be that neither one will carry this new network at all :( BTW I'm really stoked about the Al Franken Show (The O'Franken Factor) love that name!!!!!!!!!!!
