Marc Maron Returns to Air America Radio
Statement:

NEW YORK-February 24, 2006-Air America Radio announced today that comedian Marc Maron, former co-host of “Morning Sedition,” will return to the airwaves on Air America’s Los Angeles Affiliate KTLK-AM on February 28, at 10:00 pm PST, when it debuts “The Marc Maron Show.” The announcement was made by President Gary Krantz.

“The Marc Maron Show” will begin airing from 10:00-12:00 am PST out of KTLK 1150 AM in Los Angeles and will soon be syndicated through Air America Syndications. Maron fans can stream live at www.airamericaradio.com while his show is on the air, and Air America Premium members can podcast and hear archived shows they missed. Listeners can sign up for Premium at http://premium.airamericaradio.com.


The program is a nightly Los Angeles variety show, complete with live comedy, in-studio announcers, and one-on-one interviews. “The Marc Maron Show” has a laid-back performance and interview style reminiscent of “The Late Show with David Letterman” or “Late Night with Conan O’Brien,” with an emphasis on culture (including politics) and comedy. Regular characters will include: Planet Bush Bureau Chief Lawton Smalls, Inside-the-Beltway Odds-maker Johnny K Street, Ultra-conservative alter-ego Marc the Shark, and Cardinal Milfington’s Rapture Watch.

"We are thrilled to be the flagship station for Marc Maron's new show,” said KTLK’s Station Manager John Quinlan. “Many of our listeners have been asking when Marc will be back on the air and we are happy tell them that it will be next week."


“We're going to be drawing talent from my friends in the comedy and sketch community out here in LA to create new characters, bits and insanity,” said Maron. “We've got great weekly guests lined up. I've got new issues, the world has new issues, and we're ready to go. We think it will be the funniest, most informative, late night radio show on the air.”


Marc Maron is a standup comic, actor, writer and radio personality. He just completed a successful run co-hosting "Morning Sedition" on Air America Radio out of New York City. Past guests include names as varied as President Bill Clinton, Will Ferrell, Susan Sarandon, and Charles Barkley.
