TRN Taps Andreas Tantaros To Fill Ingrahm Slot

Andrea Tantaros of Fox's talk show "The Five" has been signed to do a national radio talk show by Talk Radio Network. Starting on January 2, Andrea's new show will air in the 9 am to noon slot where TRN had produced Laura Ingraham's show until a few weeks ago. (Ingraham just signed with a new distributor, Courtside, and will also be back on the air that day.)

Tim Grahama at newsbusters.com notes, Tantaros will be joined in the studio by Human Events editor Jason Mattera, author of the best-selling books Obama Zombies and Hollywood Hypocrites.

TRN CEO Mark Masters declared “Andrea and Jason will bridge the age and gender gap that challenges talk radio today in ways no other show can.  Their appeal to a bigger and broader audience, combined with an understanding of the actual radio business, is the best thing to happen to this new radio environment.”
