Salem Media Resource Guide
salem media group |
A guide to the leading media group serving America’s
Christian and conservative communities.
Salem voices are making an outstanding contribution
in the resolution of cultural and policy challenges
facing the communities we serve.
From the CEO
IN THIS DIRECTORY you will find the voices and personalities who comprise the heart of the Salem
Media Group. They are making an outstanding contribution to the resolution of cultural and policy
challenges facing the communities we serve. It is through their efforts that we are able to meet the
needs and interests of our growing audiences.
Salem Media Group is America’s leading radio, Internet and publishing company specializing in themes
relating to family, faith, news and culture. Salem owns and operates over 100 radio stations, with 60-plus
stations in the nation’s top 25 markets—and more than 30 in the top 10.
Through our rapidly-growing network of over 150 Christian and conservative opinion websites—driving
over 200 million monthly page views—Salem is a leader in the dynamic new media environment.
Through our National Programming department and our Christian Teaching and Talk formatted radio
stations, Salem has partnered with the nation’s leading Christian communicators to bring a message
of hope to millions each and every day.
Included in this guide you will also find our most recent acquisition: Eagle Publishing—including
RedState.com, HumanEvents.com and Regnery Publishing, the country’s leading publisher of
conservative books.
Salem’s multitude of news and public affairs outlets include: five nationally syndicated talk shows,
30-plus local and regional talk shows, SRN News, Townhall.com, and our daily Townhall.com
Commentary—featuring the voices of our Editorial Board.
It is our objective to continue to expand and improve our national network of radio stations, websites
and publishing enterprises in order to deliver compelling on-air, online and print material to the audiences
interested in our distinctive and strategic content.
Ideas have consequences—and many of the ideas and values promoted through today’s popular
media have contributed to destructive outcomes. Ideas we see advanced through government have
consequences as well. Even well-intended government efforts can, all too often, have a negative impact.
We are convinced that the voices and personalities in these pages are part of the solution.

Nationally Syndicated Talk Shows
SALEM RADIO NETWORK TALK (SRN Talk) syndicates a line-up of talent who are cultural
commentators speaking to the heart of the issues impacting today’s radio listeners.
SRN Talk delivers engaging, entertaining and informative talk radio from industryleading hosts Bill Bennett, Mike Gallagher, Hugh Hewitt, Michael Medved and Dennis
Prager. With an abundance of talent and a range of styles, Salem hosts inform as
they entertain, casting new light on the issues Americans care about each day.
“Salem has developed into a major player in the talk radio industry.”
– Talkers Magazine
BILL BENNETT’S MORNING IN AMERICA is a fast-paced, eye-opening morning show featuring
intelligent conversation with headline-making guests from the worlds of politics, media, sports and
entertainment. Bill Bennett was Secretary of Education under President Reagan and served as “drug czar”
under the first President Bush. Dr. Bennett is also a featured commentator on CNN. He has edited or authored
a number of best-selling books including The Book of Virtues, America: The Last Best Hope and, most
recently, Going to Pot.

THE MIKE GALLAGHER SHOW
is a unique blend of timely political commentary, compelling talk
and hard-hitting discussions on social issues and lifestyle topics. Mike is in demand as a pundit on
television, a regular contributor on the Fox News Channel and appears regularly on local and national
TV all over America. His warm-hearted perspective as a father of four has helped catapult the show to
one of the fastest-growing radio talk programs in the country. The Mike Gallagher Show is unpredictable,
entertaining, provocative radio that will make you laugh, make you mad and make you think.

THE HUGH HEWITT SHOW
generates “tomorrow’s headlines tonight” as a result of Hugh’s intense,
in-depth coverage of the American political landscape. Hewitt is a frequent guest on the Fox News Channel,
appearing with Megyn Kelly on The Kelly File and on Sean Hannity’s top-rated FOX program. Through his
prominent blog—at HughHewitt.com—Hugh is a leader in the dynamic new media environment, cementing
his credentials as one of America’s leading spokesmen for the center-right. Hugh serves on Salem’s Editorial
Board and is the host of the Townhall Review.

THE MICHAEL MEDVED SHOW covers everything from pop culture to politics with Michael’s trademark
“daily dose of debate”—with no-holds-barred discussions—ranging from breaking news to feminism; from
American history to the fight for the family. As one of America’s most respected film critics, he covers both
new movies and political performances, as well as sitting on USA Today’s board of contributors. Medved’s
program—based in Seattle—debuted nationally in 1998 and by October of ’99 the program reached more
than 100 markets across the country.

THE DENNIS PRAGER SHOW zeroes in on everything in life—from breaking news and international relations
to family issues and religion. Dennis is smart—he has his own Prager University online—and he’s funny. But he is
different from every other talk host since he prefers clarity over agreement. After 20 years on Los Angeles radio,
in 2001 Dennis launched nationally with SRN and quickly generated a growing national audience. Dennis Prager
... America’s moral compass ... is featured regularly on Fox News Channel’s Hannity program.

Salem’s Regnery Publishing unit, with a 65-year history, remains the nation’s leading
publisher of conservative books. Having published many of the seminal works of the early
conservative movement, Regnery today continues as the dominant publisher in the conservative space.
Regnery’s list of authors reads like a “who’s who” of conservative thought and action, including
Ann Coulter, David Limbaugh, Michelle Malkin, Dinesh D’Souza, Newt Gingrich, Mark Steyn,
Mark Levin, Ed Klein, David Horowitz, Laura Ingraham, Donald Trump and many more.

Regnery helped establish and sustain the postwar conservative intellectual movement in
America, publishing such authors as Russell Kirk (The Conservative Mind), William F. Buckley Jr.
(God and Man at Yale), Whittaker Chambers (Witness) and many other giants of modern
American conservatism.
For the past 15 years, Regnery has boasted one of the best batting averages in
the business–placing more than 50 books on the New York Times bestseller list,
including nine books at #1. It has led the resurgence of conservative publishing in America.

History is full of heroes and villains, stories and back stories. But too often, only one side of the
story reaches the public. That’s why, in 2011, Regnery Publishing proudly launched a new imprint:
Regnery History. Following the Regnery tradition of challenging the status quo, Regnery
History brings new light to old subjects and introduces stories that
deserve attention, but may have been ignored or even covered up in the past.
Regnery Kids publishes fun, creative, and original children’s literature, including the
New York Times bestselling series of Ellis the Elephant picture books by Callista Gingrich and
the educational and imaginative Freddy the Frogcaster series from Fox News weather personality
Janice Dean. Regnery Kids books are non-partisan, entertaining and brilliantly written and
illustrated by award-winning authors and artists. In 2014, Regnery announced a 12-book
deal that will feature the familiar and well-loved Peanuts characters.
