The Hugh Hewitt Show is Moving to a New Time --
Beginning next week, on Monday, October 1, 2001, my program will move its live broadcast to 3 to 6 p.m. on the west coast, 6 to 9 p.m. on the east coast. This change allows me to enter a variety of key markets including Boston, Chicago, New York, Pittsburgh and San Francisco. Other markets, like Sacramento, become live broadcast markets. All of my current stations have agreed to make the switch, and some new affiliates will also be added in the next few weeks. In short, the time change allows my audience to expand dramatically.
The show will also move from one that reports the morning headlines to one that, like the network evening news programs, summarizes and interprets the days events. The news cycle concludes in these hours, and I relish the chance to honestly report and fairly analyze the day’s events.
The change will be an inconvenience to some, but I hope you will be able to alter your listening habits. Most of my guests will stay in the regular line-up, though their monthly or weekly times will change. October will be largely devoted to news of the coming combat, but thereafter I will be re-introducing the regulars to the program’s line-up.
Thank you for your support and for listening.
Coming soon to a radio station near you, "The Voice of Reason" from California!
3pm to 6pm - West Coast time
6pm to 9pm - East Coast time
See your local listing for OTHER times in 45+ markets across the USA.
Hugh Hewitt lurks on Free Republic, and MANY FReepers listen to Hugh!

Today, July 10, marks the first anniversary of my radio program.
I set two goals a year ago: To be syndicated to 20 markets and to have achieved a significant share in the hyper-competitive 6 to 9 am Los Angeles market. The show is now heard in more than 40 markets, including coveted morning drive slots in Denver, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Phoenix, San Diego, Seattle and Tucson and communities as diverse as Boston and Louisville, Honolulu and Tampa Bay. Starting with an almost zero existing audience in Los Angeles, the program is now the second-highest rated talk show there in the morning, and the ratings have far outpaced even the most optimistic projections.
*** HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, HUGH HEWITT ***

HEY... How do YOU rate?
I didn't get no stinking e-mail! ;o(
Check the MASTER LIST of radio stations from Salem Communications at:
www.salem.cc/sitesStationLinks.htm
Hugh might not be on ALL of them - yet, but he should be on SOME of them!
I got an e-mail from generalissimo too :D !!!
Who did Hugh displace in Tucson? There were some complications in L.A.
Hugh Rocks....Savage is a dope..
The change starts October 1, and thus I believe that the new stations will come on line then, too.
When you find out, can you notify all of the OTHER Iron City FReepers?
Tin-foah. (10-four in NYFD dialect)
(His older columns there are archived at the bottom of the page.)
In most markets, Hugh should be on immediately AFTER Michael Medved - not OPPOSITE him.
As for Hugh's guests, they ARE eclectic. ;o)
(For the benefit of the Florida Supreme Court, that means that some are better than others.)
From a previous thread:
Guests matter as well, and my regular contributors – Fred Barnes and Morton Kondracke, Virginia Postrel and Kellyanne Fitzpatrick Conway, Terry Eastland, Erwin Chemerinsky and John Eastman to name just a few – guarantee the listeners sharp and informed insights into national politics. Folks do care about what the government's up to, so a weekly visit from the Chair of the House Rules Committee David Dreier provides that, as have the parade of electeds from the GOP.
And, there's Frank Gaffney with the Center for Security Policy, at www.security-policy.org.
Where do you listen to Hugh? What city?
