Springer on the Radio
Encyclopedia : S : SP : SPR : Springer on the Radio
Springer on the Radio is an American radio program broadcast from WCKY in Cincinnati since January 17 2005 and syndicated nationally on the Air America Radio network since April 1 2005. It is hosted by Jerry Springer, best known as a TV talk show host. Springer is a former Democratic politician (formerly Cincinnati’s mayor) still active in the party organization. His radio show focuses on the day's news with very liberal and progressive standpoint. It airs on weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. EST on select Air America radio stations.
Political Aspects
Jerry Springer gained national popularity in the early 1990s hosting The Jerry Springer Show, setting the standard of so-called 'Trash TV'. Springer on the Radio is produced with a higher quality level compared to The Jerry Springer Show. The radio show comments and standpoint overwhelmingly favors the Democratic Party and viewpoints considered liberal in the American political spectrum. Springer on the Radio along with other talk shows broadcast on the Air America Radio network arose to counterattack the radio hegemony of conservative talk show hosts like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. Over the years, Jerry Springer has shown an interest in running for either the United States Senate or the governorship in Ohio. His decision to host a serious liberal radio show might be due to a desire to distance himself from his TV show, which he himself considered ‘stupid’. Such action gives Springer the possibility to prove to the older generations that, while his TV show was empty-minded, he may nevertheless be well-suited to representing citizens.
