Roger Hedgecock Goes Daily with Radio America

Roger Hedgecock Goes Daily with Radio America

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Radio America is thrilled to announce the addition of The Roger Hedgecock Show to its daily talk lineup. The top-rated, long-time KOGO-AM, San Diego host will make his debut January 5, 2009 in the 6 p.m. - 9 p.m. EST time slot, Monday - Friday.

Hedgecock's program replaces The Michael Reagan Show, which has anchored that spot for the last five years. In regards to what can be expected from the new show, Hedgecock states, "To me, 'We the People' is not just a musty opening phrase from the nearly forgotten U.S. Constitution. 'We the People' is a call to action, a reminder that self-government is in the DNA of every pragmatic, can-do American. My talk show calls on this heritage to get back in action in every American's life."

Hedgecock's engaging personality and straight talk have helped him dominate ratings on KSDO-AM and KOGO-AM in San Diego for the last 22 years. His political experiences, including stints as the Del Mar City Attorney and Mayor of San Diego, have provided listeners with first-hand accounts from inside government. He's been named one of the Top 100 Talkers in America by Talker's Magazine -- for 10 years in a row -- and he has a history of turning passive listeners into activists.

In 1994, when Republicans took control of the House, Roger and his audience insisted on making the Contract with America a reality and not just a platform. Over 200 listeners paid their own way to join Roger's broadcast and lobby the new Congress in Washington, D.C. The event became known as "Hold Their Feet to the Fire."

Roger has been coming back to Washington each year since. In 2008, over 40 other talk hosts from around the nation participated in "Hold Their Feet to the Fire," putting pressure on Congress to enact True Immigration Reform.

After 9/11, Roger and his listeners started Homefront San Diego, an organization that currently provides thousands of military families with cars, furniture, food and other assistance.

Hedgecock is an exclusive columnist for World Net Daily (http://www.wnd.com/) and the author of the recently published three-book series: The 2008 Conservative Voter's Field Guide to: #1 - Immigration; #2 - The War; and #3 - Healthcare. He is also a frequent guest on Hannity & Colmes, The O'Reilly Factor and other Fox News Channel shows, on CNN's Lou Dobbs Show and on MSNBC. His proven track record also earned him the preferred guest host position on The Rush Limbaugh Show for over a decade.

Roger Hedgecock has received numerous local and nation broadcasting awards, including being nominated twice for the prestigious Marconi Award.
