Dobbs to add radio show to his day

Fox Business Network anchor Lou Dobbs has struck a deal with the Salem Radio Network to start the “Lou Dobbs Financial Report,” which will air three times a day.

The new business features will air three times each weekday — prior to the opening bell on Wall Street, a midday business report, and a daily market close update. The report will begin airing on Feb. 20.

“Lou Dobbs is one of the most respected names in American financial reporting,” said Greg Anderson, the president of the Salem Radio Network, in a statement. “We are delighted to have Lou join SRN which will make his expertise and credibility available to radio stations coast-to-coast.”

The network’s SRN News offers 24/7 news, sports and longform news coverage to over 1,300 radio stations nationwide.

The Salem Radio Network is a division of Salem Communications Corporation, the largest commercial U.S. radio broadcasting company that provides programming targeted at audiences interested in Christian and family-themed radio content.
