KPOJ Adds Hartmann For Local Mornings

Left-leaning talk KPOJ (Progressive Talk) Portland, Ore., which bills itself as “The World’s First Air America Radio Affiliate,” goes live and local in mornings, adding syndicated talk host and best selling author Thom Hartmann to its lineup.

Hartmann, who will move from his home in Vermont, has recently filled in for Air America host Randi Rhodes while she was off the air for health reasons.

Local news vet Heidi Tauber and longtime news and talk show producer Paul Pimentel will join Hartmann in mornings.

AA’s “Morning Sedition” will move to an earlier time slot on the station.
