The Mark Riley Show

The Mark Riley Show

"The Mark Riley Show" is a weekday radio show on the Air America Radio network hosted by long-time talk radio host Mark Riley. Originally it was part of a larger Air America Mornings program, but as of September 18, 2006 the show was billed on its own. The show features news items read by Riley and his commentary on each of them. Riley interviews a wide variety of guests, though these segments are often pre-recorded due to the early airtime of the show. Riley often takes listener calls on a specific topic in a rapid-fire fashion.

The show began on January 2, 2006, originally airing weekdays from 5AM - 7AM ET. It now airs on weekdays from 5AM - 6AM ET on some Air America affiliates.

The show came to an end on May 11th, 2007.
