Joe Walsh Radio Show: Tea Party Ex-Congressman Inks Deal for Radio Host Gig
Confirming previous rumors, fiery Tea Party favorite former Congressman Joe Walsh has signed on with conservative Chicago radio station WIND-AM (560) for a gig hosting a new radio show, Time Out Chicago’s Robert Feder reported Wednesday.
According to Feder, Walsh’s show — which the ex-rep described as “Joe Walsh Unplugged for two hours a day” — will air from 7-9 p.m. beginning March 18.
Walsh told the Daily Herald’s Kerry Lester he plans to “use my voice on the radio just like I do in town halls around the state, to really be a strong advocate for freedom.”
Though a manager at the Salem Media-owned station did not confirm Walsh’s news, Feder reports that the new show will be formally announced March 14 when the 51-year-old ex-rep appears at a station-sponsored event titled “Obama 2.0: The Road Ahead” in suburban Lincolnshire.
