About NewsTalk 1160:
With only three major news-talk radio stations in a metro city that now exceeds five million people, the decision to add an additional choice on the AM dial was an easy one; the availability of such broadcasting icons as Dr. Laura Schlessinger, Mancow, Lou Dobbs, Dr. Joy Brown and Phil Hendrie, along with CBS News on the hour, made the decision even easier. For long-suffering Atlantans who have complained about the dearth of quality talk programming available to them, there’s a new and exciting alternative: NewsTalk 1160...The Talk of the Town.
