ORIGINAL PROGRAMMING
The Talk of the Town with Doug and Renee airs weekday mornings from 6 to 9 am and is hosted by Renee deMedicis and Doug Allan.

He and co-host Lee Miller, who brings a 15 year carrier as an award winning journalist to the conversation, take a daily look at politics, economics, regulations, and legislation from a national perspective, highlighting Americas troubling trend toward reliance on a very powerful centralized government at the federal level, and away from Constitutional limitations. The show features national pundits, political movers and shakers, as well as historians and conservative thinkers in its guest lineup.
