News and Views

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

News and Views is a talk radio program produced by KFGO in Fargo, North Dakota and aired on stations across North Dakota.

News and Views runs weekdays between 8:30am and 11:00am Central Time; the first half-hour of the program is aired only on KFGO, with the rest airing statewide.

The show's format is interviews with newsmakers and telephone call-ins; the host and guests have ample opportunity to express their opinions, but also open the subject to discussion.

Telephone callers are "taken cold" — that is, no pre-screening of callers occurs before going to air.

The show was launched with Ed Schultz, who later went on to host a national program, The Ed Schultz Show in 2004, and returned as host on February 1, 2007 replacing North Dakota State Senator Joel Heitkamp (D-Hankinson). Guest hosts fill in when the main host is not present; repeat airings are rare.
