SRN to Create Dialogue On America's Culture Wars

RADIO ONLINE | Tuesday, July 9, 2013 | 3:04pm CT

The Salem Radio Network (SRN) has announced a month-long, multi-platform initiative in August designed to highlight the battle over America's culture wars. SRN's syndicated talk hosts, as well as the network's 24/7 Washington, DC-based SRN News service, will all focus interviews and special features on the current challengers to traditional American values.

SRN talk hosts Bill Bennett, Mike Gallagher, Janet Mefferd, Dennis Prager, Michael Medved and Hugh Hewitt will all participate in the August campaign with live guests and feature interviews focusing on the battle over traditional American values. Interview guests will include former U.S. Senator and 2012 presidential candidate Rick Santorum, recently-named CEO of Dallas-based EchoLight Studios.

SRN VP/News & Talk Programming Tom Tradup said, "Government seems unable to respond to alarming cultural developments, and our courts are increasingly thwarting the will of voters ...especially parents. SRN hopes to highlight the challenges facing America, and to provide solid, actionable ways men and women can stand up to the cultural backwash."

SRN News will offer a multi-part series drawing on groups like the Traditional Values Coalition, Parents Television Council, as well as groups such as Alliance Defending Freedom, Morality in Media and others.

SRN will also feature online polls giving listeners the opportunity to voice their opinions on issues such as protecting the Second Amendment, Gay Marriage, the influence of teachers unions on public education and a variety of other topics.
