Mark Riley & Rachel Maddow To Host New Air America Morning Shows
Air America Radio has announced a change in its morning lineup. Beginning Monday, January 2, the new morning format, “Air America Mornings,” will broadcast weekdays from 5-9am EST.
Mark Riley, currently the co-host of Morning Sedition, will lead off “Air America Mornings” with The Mark Riley Show from 5-7am EST. Rachel Maddow will follow with The Rachel Maddow Show in the 7-9am EST slot. Maddow has previously guest-hosted The Al Franken Show and serves as a contributor to MSNBC’s The Situation With Tucker Carlson.
Comedian and co-host of Morning Sedition, Marc Maron, is returning to Los Angeles and is currently in negotiations with Air America Radio to host his own syndicated show.
"The upcoming year is going to be crucial year for Air America, for morning drive time radio in general, and for the United States. In the past several months, Rachel Maddow has experienced dramatic growth in visibility and audience, and we are very excited about giving her a bigger stage. Mark Riley is one of New York's most respected broadcasters and we are equally excited that he will shine in his new role,” said Air America CEO Danny Goldberg. “At the same time, we are well aware of the intense and committed following that Marc Maron's brilliant work on Air America has created and would like him to be a major voice on Air America in the future."
