Satellite Radio Network Launches Gay Talk Show

Article Tools

With the advent of satellite radio comes Harrison on the Edge, Radio for the Rest of Us, the nation?s first GLBT morning drive-time radio show and self-proclaimed voice of Gay America. The show promises listeners explosive investigative reporting, gay reverie, and witty commentary. Host Cary Harrison, who used to work over television audiences while peddling fake diamonds and velvet Elvises for the Home Shopping Network, blames the media for lowbrow media frenzies and for confusing the public interest with the public appetite. And he admits to having been an occasional accomplice to news mediocrity. ?I used to engage the simple battlefield of shock and spectacle?crashing head to head with on-air TV guests like rams in heat,? says Harrison. Still, the satellite radio host boasts ?a progressive, icon-busting philosophy? and strives ?to challenge institutional wisdom and ethics? for the benefit of his listeners by providing a combination of in-depth investigative reporting, satire, and analysis. Harrison on the Edge is available live on the web at www.goharrison.com and via the Sirius satellite radio network on channel 149: OutQ.
