"News and Views" is also the slogan for HLN (TV channel).
News and Views is a talk radio program produced by KFGO in Fargo, North Dakota and also aired on stations KFYR-AM in Bismarck, ND and KCJB-AM in Minot, ND.
News and Views runs weekdays between 8:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. Central Time; the first half-hour of the program is aired only on KFGO, with the rest airing on the network stations.
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 former North Dakota State Senator Joel Heitkamp. When Schultz moved to New York to launch a television program in 2009, Heitkamp resumed hosting of News and Views. Guest hosts (primarily North Dakota Association of Telecommunications Cooperatives CEO David Crothers and North Dakota House of Representatives Majority Leader Al Carlson) fill in when the main host is not present.
