Game On! with Ross & McLaughlin

With the January 20 inauguration of hoops-shooting Barack Obama came a new era in American history. And with it, a new chapter in talk-radio history – one in which conservative-dominated dials must adapt to our nation’s voracious appetite for change. But by that time, BlogTalkRadio was ready. Because on December 9, we got a jump on the changing of the guard with the launch of “Game On!” Hosted by Kevin Ross – an African-American Republican from L.A. – and David McLaughlin – a white Democrat from Atlanta – the show delivers a spirited West Coast-East Coast, conservative-liberal take on the week’s most provocative political issues. In October, Kevin and David took top honors in FOX News Radio’s Battle of the Blog Talkers, a tournament to select America’s best blog talkers from each side of the political spectrum. Regular “Game On!” commentators include Boston-based John Breneman of the Boston Herald, and Washington, D.C.-based Shomari McKenzie of WKXN Radio in Montgomery, Ala. – who weigh in with “Satirical Soapbox” reports. Also, Princeton, Minn.-based Chad Everson of BlogTalkRadio’s “Grizzly Groundswell” focuses on issues concerning middle America.
