Longtime TV host Montel Williams started a daily show on Air America radio this week. He says he intends to present both liberal and conservative points of view on the liberal-skewed network.
He'd also like to modify the tone of talk radio. "There's so much anger behind it. It brings the discussion down to a playground level," he says. Williams is also fine-tuning "a new kind of
infomercial" he calls "talkmercials," because they're formatted like a talk show.
The radio show is called "Montel Williams Across America" and the audio and video feed are available live
daily, 9 a.m.-noon. His kickoff featured a look into the Binghamton shootings and a report from the North Pole to mark the 100th anniversary of black explorer Matthew Henson pinpointing the pole.
Williams' 17-year TV show ended last July.
