Tom Athans, Democracy Radio CEO, said, "The people have spoken, and they have voted with their radios for Stephanie Miller.

Every progressive talk station in the country should take notice: if they want to succeed with ratings and revenue, The Stephanie Miller Show is the answer."

Amy Bolton, VP of News and Talk for Jones Radio, said, "Stephanie Miller has done it again. Market after market, she has taken 0-rated stations and put them on the map. As a DC listener, it's no surprise she is the #1 rated program on WWRC, Progressive Talk 1260. Stephanie Miller is wickedly funny, wildly entertaining, and a clear winner. I am proud that she is part of the Jones Radio Networks, and I'm proud to listen to her every day in my home town."

Ron Hartenbaum, President of WYD Media, said, "Given the hard work of our on-air team, and The Jones Radio affiliations group, The Stephanie Miller Show is the next break out program, not just in Progressive Talk, but in Talk Radio overall."

The Stephanie Miller Show launched in September 2004. Using humor and wit as weapons, Stephanie has built a loyal fan base by skewering the Bush Administration and the conservative cabal that is running the country. "Right-Wing World," "Stand Up News" and "Tinsel Talk" (Hollywood updates) are hilarious daily features that are also available on her website.

The Stephanie Miller Show airs live Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to noon ET. The show is produced by Democracy Radio, the Pioneer of Progressive Talk and Ron Hartenbaum's WYD Media. Jones Radio Networks syndicates the show.
