Tom Donahue

Veteran talk host Tom Donahue returns to broadcast radio with the Tom Donahue Show airing Sunday nights at 11pm ET beginning on July 1. His talk show will air live weekly and will be made available by Salem Radio Network (SRN) and Talk Stream Live (TSL). Donahue, who hails from Philadelphia, trailblazed the first America First-themed talk show in the 1990's hosting "America's Town Forum," a syndicated talk program on Talk America Radio Network, BRN, Peoples Radio Network and Sun Radio Networks.

"I am thrilled to have this broadcast opportunity that has eluded me for some time," said Donahue. "My show will reach a broader audience with access to so many radio stations and markets. To be an impactful player in talk radio, your game plan must include broadcast stations. In recent years, my program has been confined mostly to online streaming, digital and podcasting platforms, with the exception of a few independent stations. I plan to make the most of my airtime each week! I will be open to show expansion based on demand."

Donahue began his talk radio career in Dallas back in 1990 with a local weekly talk show. Later that year, he was offered a weekday afternoon talk host position with KID-AM/Idaho Falls, ID. In April, 1991, he was selected for national syndication to replace Chuck Harder's show on the Sun Radio Network weekday afternoons based in Clearwater, FL. Later that year, Donahue joined Chuck Harder's new network The Peoples Radio Network for the mid-mornings which included his flagship station 50k watt WPDQ-AM/Jacksonville, FL. He eventually landed with the Talk America Radio Network in Boston. Donahue returned with his talk show in recent times as a streaming show airing on many online stations and digital platforms and as a program podcast. His show also aired on KCAA and WFYL.
