Federal News Radio
We know we have plenty of listeners who are Federal employees. Did you know there's a radio station that's been designed just for you? It's Federal News Radio and it's operated by Bonneville. If you live in the immediate Washington, DC, area, you can hear it on AM 820 and 1500 (and remember: that's where you can hear America in the Morning every weekday at 5:06 am). For everyone else, you can listen online at FederalNewsRadio.com. If you're a Fed, the information you'll hear (and see on their website) will be invaluable. Give them a try!

Listen To America
We like to believe we have the best audience in talk radio. (Go ahead, pat yourselves on the back!) But let's face it--even with the number of hours Jim spends on the air, he can't be on all the time. If you have a burning issue on your mind and you just can't wait until Jim's back on, you've now got a place to go to get it off your chest and open a dialog with the rest of America. Where? www.ListenToAmerica.com. You can weigh in on topics already under discussion or start a new one on your own. You can even upload video comments! And, if you prefer all of your interfacing to be of the telephonic variety, you can do that, too, by leaving a voicemail, 24/7, at 1-888-LTA-2009. So visit there, and then get back to us the next time we're on!
