Salem Communication's Bid for Union Between Web & Talk Radio

Newsweek has an article about Hugh Hewitt and his unique web and talk-radio presence in the New Media. But really, its about taking what Hugh does and kicking it up a notch. Salem Communication, one of the nation's largest radio station owners and stable of a great set of talk show hosts--Hewitt, Medved, Bennett, others--teaming up with Townhall.com, hitherto a clearinghouse of conservative commentary, to become the center of conservative activism, much like Daily Kos is for liberals. But more. And bigger. The hope is that 6 million radio radio listeners plus the 1.4 million readers of Townhall.com will caterpault a body of citizens, six to seven times bigger than Kos, into the political cause.

Lauch date, July 4.
