BANGOR — Stephen King is offering an antidote to what he sees as the biases of right-wing radio talk shows by hiring a former Green Party vice presidential candidate to co-host a morning talk show on two stations he owns.
In a rare public appearance, the horror writer held a news conference today in Bangor, at the headquarters of his three-station Zone Radio network.
“The Pulse Morning Show” will be co-hosted by 50-year-old Pat LaMarche and 43-year-old Don Cookson, a former television reporter. LaMarche ran for vice president as a member of the Green Party in 2004.
During the news conference King said, “We’re a little to the left, but we’re right.”
The show will begin airing on WZON-AM and WZON-FM at 6 a.m. on Sept. 12.
