Democracy Radio, in partnership with the nation’s largest independent syndicator - Jones Radio Networks, is pleased to announce that progressive talk show host Ed Schultz will begin airing his new nationally syndicated show on Monday, January 5th 2004. Ed is aggressive, well researched and opinionated. And until recently, Ed Schultz was best known as the familiar, progressive voice of talk radio at KFGO in Fargo, N.D. But since announcing his affiliation with Democracy Radio, Inc., Schultz has begun to emerge as the new, progressive voice in national talk radio.

Must have missed it. Zzzzz.

Schultz is an award-winning talent, programmer and radio manager with more than 20 years of radio and TV experience. He is considered one of the most accomplished media personalities in the history of the Dakotas and the Midwest.

They've cleaned up his page at KFGO - it used to feature the Swap Shop listings.

For over 10 years, Schultz has been delivering compelling talk-radio in Fargo, N.D., through his popular morning talk show, “News and Views” – where he is the No. 1 broadcaster on the No. 1 talk radio station in America as defined by audience share.

Bwahaha. Who knew? Actually, CB Radio probably has the the #1 position in Fargo, but they don't count it in the ratings.

The show reaches into seven states and provides news on a national level along with caller interaction and commentary. With a reputation for challenging the issues, Schultz is regarded as “the high profile broadcaster of the upper Midwest.”

Ed is famous around North Dakota (and beyond) for shooting his own dog while filming his TV "outdoors" show. No, they didn't run that on the air, but a boat full of empty beer bottles in a fishing segment also provided a class touch.

For his work on KFGO-Fargo, Schultz has won numerous prestigious awards in the radio industry including the Peabody and the Marconi. In addition to “News and Views,” Ed offers regular sports news, commentary and is the football play-by-play announcer for the University of North Dakota.

Actually, the station won the Peabody and Marconi awards, not Big Ed. And while he is the football announcer for the for UND Fighting Sioux, I don't think the PC crowd's going to be too wild about that.

Howdy Ed, welcome! How's your dog?
