FRC President Tony Perkins to Host New Salem Broadcast, ‘This Week on the Hill’
On Friday, Salem Radio Network announced the launch of “This Week on the Hill,” a compelling and informative radio/TV program set to debut on April 13th, 2024 on the Salem Radio Network, Salem News Channel, Salem Podcast Network, and Townhall.com.
The show will be hosted by Family Research Council President Tony Perkins and will feature Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and other members of the House and Senate. This will be a weekly one-hour radio/TV show on issues facing Congress, America, and the world. Listeners can expect candid conversations that delve beyond the headlines and soundbites, offering informed insights into what truly matters in our country.
“There is no shortage of information today, but discernment based on knowledge is in dangerously short supply,” Perkins told The Washington Stand. “I am excited to announce that, in addition to ‘Washington Watch’s’ daily platform, I’ll be joining Salem Radio Network for a weekly program. In ‘This Week on the Hill,’ we will go beyond the headlines, soundbites, and tweets to discuss what is really happening on Capitol Hill.”
“This Week on the Hill” will air on the Salem Radio Network for weekend play, as well as the Salem News Channel, Salem Podcast Network, and will be featured on Townhall.com. The show will be available down the SRN Satellite channel on Saturday morning at 7 a.m. (ET) for stations to carry over the weekend.
“I look forward to being a guest on this show,” Speaker Johnson said. “This opportunity to engage in informative discussions will provide listeners with a better understanding of politics, policy, and culture in these historic times.”
Salem Senior Vice President Phil Boyce expressed his enthusiasm for the new venture, telling reporters, “Salem is honored to kick off this important program with Speaker Johnson as guest. He has worked tirelessly for conservative values throughout his career, including since he took over the speaker’s position. Tony Perkins, a nationally recognized expert in public policy, will be an excellent host, as the show deals with the important topics facing the members of the House and Senate.”
Perkins, who’s known the Louisiana leader for more than two decades, said, “I look forward to kicking off this new program with Speaker Johnson as my first guest. I plan to engage him in candid conversations that will take listeners beyond the headlines and soundbites and inform them about what is really happening in our country.”
