96.9 FM TALK, WTKK announces nationally renown talk show host, columnist and political consultant, Michael Graham as a special guest host from 3-7pm beginning on Monday, October 24th through October 28th, 2005.

He has been hailed as a "bright and talented talk show host" by Talkers Magazine and has been seen on ABC's Politically Incorrect, MSNBC and CNBC, as well as featured in The Wall Street Journal. His unique background has given him a “fresh and insightful” perspective on American politics and current events.

Graham is in frequent demand as a guest for many national TV and radio programs, including The O'Reilly Factor (FOX), Crossfire (CNN) Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO) and Hardball (MSNBC).

"Michael’s impressive experience and knowledge of national and local issues has made him a force to reckon with in the talk radio world. We felt his ability to tackle hot topics such as the Supreme Court nomination to local happenings like the Taunton dam made him the perfect fit to guest host on WTKK," said Greater Media President and CEO Peter Smyth.

“We are excited about the opportunity to have the very talented Michael Graham appear on WTKK. His open and honest opinions should be a welcome relief to all our listeners,” said Greater Media Boston Vice President and General Manager Matt Mills.

"Michael Graham is a great talk talent. He cuts through and calls it the way he sees it while engaging the audience," said WTKK Program Director Paula O'Connor.

“Boston is the ultimate big leagues of talk radio, because the typical Bostonian has more interesting conversations around the dinner table than most talk show hosts have on the air in other cities," said Michael Graham.

Graham’s radio career has taken him from WMAL in Washington, DC, to WRVA in Richmond, Virginia and WSCC in Charleston, South Carolina.

A graduate of Oral Roberts University, Graham has enjoyed successful careers as both a stand up comedian and as a GOP Political Consultant.

His career as a stand up comic took him to more than 40 states, where he appeared with performers like Robin Williams and Jerry Seinfeld.

As a GOP political consultant, Graham worked on 50 federal, state and local campaigns ranging from Chicago to New York to Charleston, SC. In addition, he served as a South Carolina Statewide Coordinator for presidential hopeful Pat Buchanan back in 1992.

The South Carolina native is also the author of three books, including his most recent Redneck Nation: How the South Really Won the War. He has written for a variety of national publications, including The National Review and The Jewish World Review. He also writes The Usual Suspects, a syndicated column of political humor.

Graham and his wife live with their four children and two cats in Northern Virginia.
