Wednesday, February 18, 2009
Phoenix, Arizona


It is with great excitement and optimism that I announce today the formation of a new progressive talk radio network. The On Second Thought Radio Network will continue to build upon the foundation laid by our predecessors and will work dilligently to fulfill our fiduciary responsibilities to all investors and principals involved. Equally important, we will, with the millions of faithful progressive listeners across the country, uphold our vision to promote freedom, social justice, economic justice and peace worldwide.

Below, please take time to review the bios of our current lineup. We will initially be offering a daily 9 hour block of programming with some of the most entertaining, engaging, experienced and provocative hosts America has to offer. We look forward to adding more talent and innovative products to our network in the near future.

One thing we can assure you is that we will always value the fundamental principle of “We the People” proclaimed by our Founding Fathers. The On Second Thought Radio Network will work tirelessly to hear the voices and honor the commitments of our listeners, affiliates, supporters and advertisers alike. We welcome any and all suggestions as we go through this transition period. Please feel free to email us at [e-mail] and continue to check out our web site, www.onsecondthought.net where we will keep you up to date on the latest and greatest that we hope to offer to you!

Respectfully,

Mike Newcomb, CEO

Fun, Feisty and FRESH! The Nancy Skinner Show meets America where we voted in the last election. Nancy is a contemporary of President Obama. She ran against the future President for his Illinois Senate seat. He endorsed her Michigan congressional run. Talk about a direct line to The White House! Nancy hosted a weekday show for 8 years on WLS-AM Chicago. For the past decade Nancy has been a guest host and expert on: MSNBC, CNN, and FOX News. The Nancy Skinner Show will air 3PM - 6PM (EST), Monday through Friday.

“It's great to be back on the airwaves after my forays into politics. Losing to POTUS turns out to be pretty cool and since I am his biggest fan, it's kinda like being on the "teams of rivals", only on radio. Turns out that I'm back on the air in a very important time in our country's history and I'm looking forward to a national conversation with Americans of all stripes.”
- Nancy Skinner

Mike Newcomb, MD is a former gubernatorial candidate and physician who cares for the elderly and the poor. His brand of “freedom fighting, liberty loving and truth telling” radio has taken Phoenix, AZ by storm. After only his first year on the air Mike was selected as the “Best Radio Talk-Show Host” in Phoenix. Doctor Mike has appeared nationally on MSNBC, C-SPAN AND FOX News and has written opinion pieces for one of America’s largest newspapers, The Arizona Republic. The Mike Newcomb Show will air from 6PM - 9PM (EST), Monday through Friday.

“Martin Luther King once said, ““In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”” With the On Second Thought Radio Network our friends need not be silent anymore.”
- Mike Newcomb

Continuing on the network will be America’s original “truth-seeker” Mike Malloy. The Mike Malloy Show will continue to broadcast live Monday through Friday, from 9PM - Midnight (EST).

“Hey, Truthseekers, Just a quick note from your humble and obedient (ha-ha) servant. I am pleased to let you know the Malloy program continues. Same time, same station, same Web-cast, same satellite availability. Nothing changes while everything does, as my tai chi instructor says. Anyway, we're here and we'll continue with the most intense, factual, hell-raising liberal talk in the nation. Keep it lit.”
- Mike Malloy

1. So, are the Drobny's still part of this venture?

[tabatha]

2. If they are, they are taking a back seat.

The posters on the front page are Mike Newcomb and Ben Burch.

Shelly's blog is no longer there.

[SharonRB]

3. Doesn't look like it.

[gmoney]

4. Are they serious with the name "On Second Thought Radio Network" ?

I thought Malloy was kidding when he said that...

Why not just go straight for "Indecisive Irrelevant Radio Network" ?

[Maat]

5. I think it's cute ... and reflects a wry sense of humor.

To each his own.

7. On Second Thought, LLC is Mike Newcomb's corporation. Predates Nova M. n/t

8. I don't think Mike likes the name either.

The last few nights, he no longer mentions the network's name on his show (for example, he used to say "This is Nova M Radio" when he went to a break, or "Malloy here on Nova M Radio" for his opening spiel).

Also, Kathy has new tag lines coming out of the breaks that don't mention On Second Thought's name.

6. Where and when

will Randi reappear?

[DrDeke]

9. Will Randi reappear?

I would say yes indeed. Randi is a top tiered talent.
