‘The Fighting Joe Morrissey Show’ hosted by outspoken former state Delegate and onetime Richmond Commonwealth’s Attorney Joe Morrissey airs Tuesday-Friday (10 a.m.-noon) on 100.5 FM on the radio dial (www.WJFNRadio.com online) and WNTW 820 AM
RICHMOND, VA
– In a sign of growing popularity, unrepentant radio raconteur Joe Morrissey
and his weekday program, “The Fighting Joe Morrissey Show,” have found an
additional home on the Richmond airwaves after initially launching on WJFN
100.5 FM and online at www.WJFNRadio.com.
Morrissey’s program will continue
to be broadcast in its regular slot (Tuesday-Friday, 10 a.m.-noon EST) on WJFN
100.5 FM – the Commonwealth’s premier station for state and national political
news talk – and it is now being simulcast on Chester-based station WNTW 820 AM.
“Throughout my career as a
lawyer, legislator, and educator, I have dedicated my work to helping real
people deal with real world issues,” said Morrissey. “Our radio program
continues that tradition and I am gratified that ‘The Fighting Joe Morrissey
Show’ is expanding its platform to include WJFN and WNTW so it can reach even
more listeners to speak truth to power and be a voice for the voiceless.”
“This exciting development
shows that Virginians seeking the best in political news talk and commentary
recognize that our WJFN roster of conservative and progressive hosts are
second-to-none and that listeners want to hear them far and wide,” added John
Fredericks, an accomplished media executive who is the host and founder of the John
Fredericks Radio Show, and a lead proprietor of WJFN 100.5 FM. “The
addition of ‘The Fighting Joe Morrissey Show’ to the WNTW airwaves, which also
carry the ‘John Fredericks Radio Show,’ is a natural fit and brings more
diversity to the public discourse.”
WJFN broadcasts
Fredericks’ highly popular and influential program and serves as the flagship
station for the expanding John Fredericks Radio Network. Fredericks’ eponymous
show is simulcast from Washington, D.C. and can be heard on weekdays from 6
a.m.-10 a.m. EST. His show is broadcast in media markets across Virginia
including Richmond, Hampton Roads, Lynchburg, and Roanoke. The John Fredericks
Radio Show is also heard on stations in Washington, D.C. and Jacksonville, FL.
In addition to his radio show, Fredericks is also a regular guest on national and
international television news programs. He served with his wife, Anne, as a
national delegate to the 2016 Republican National Convention, and was the
Virginia Chairman of the Donald J. Trump for President Campaign that year.
WJFN is a Richmond-area
terrestrial radio station that launched in 2018. It boasts a lineup of
prominent Virginia and national voices offering fresh and diverse perspectives
on the news of the day, what it means for the way our government functions, and
how it impacts people’s everyday lives. What makes WJFN unique is its
commitment to providing an engaging, listener-oriented experience that enables
audience members to directly connect in real time with the Virginia-based hosts
of WJFN 100.5 FM programs. The station’s goal is to showcase voices from both
sides of the political spectrum to spark lively and ultimately productive
conversations.
WJFN 100.5 FM is the
broadcast home of The Fighting Joe
Morrissey Show hosted by Morrissey, a colorful and sometimes
controversial criminal defense attorney who previously was an elected member of
the Virginia House of Delegates and Richmond Commonwealth’s Attorney. Morrissey
is a progressive Democrat who ran for Richmond Mayor in 2016, and who once
brought a semi-automatic rifle onto the House of Delegates’ floor to make a
point during a policy debate. As the name of his show suggests, Morrissey isn’t
afraid to tackle tough topics or fight for the rights of those overlooked by society.
Another former state
Delegate, Chris Saxman, hosts the Virginia FREE Radio
program each Monday from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. EST. Saxman is a former educator, a
successful entrepreneur who represented the Staunton area for four terms in the
state House, and a keen political thinker, theorist, and strategist. In 2008,
he was the Virginia Co-Chairman of U.S. Senator John McCain’s presidential
campaign. Saxman currently serves as Executive Director of the Virginia
Foundation for Research and Economic Education (FREE). His non-partisan show is
a lively mix of politics, business, and policy talk, along with his musings on
sports, barbeque, and family-friendly cable television movies for good measure.
Farmer, attorney, policy
maven, and conservative activist Martha Boneta of Fauquier County is
also a member of the WJFN 100.5 FM team. Formidable and friendly, Boneta is a
frequent guest host on the John Fredericks Radio Show, as well as an
entrepreneur, an agriculture advocate who successfully lobbied the Virginia
General Assembly to change state law to protect property rights, and a
sought-after speaker who has made guest appearances on Fox News and many other
news stations and national media outlets. Boneta will be a recurring voice
heard on WJFN 100.5 FM.
Democrat Susan Platt, a longtime congressional staff leader and
award-winning political campaign manager who previously worked for former Vice
President Joe Biden during his U.S. Senate tenure, hosts “Find Your Roar,” an
hourly interview and news talk program with a woman’s point of view on WJFN
each Saturday morning from 9-10 a.m. EST on WJFN 100.5 FM.
Democrat Gene Rossi, a Northern Virginia-based attorney in
private practice with a national law firm who spent nearly three decades
prosecuting dangerous criminals as an Assistant U.S. Attorney and ran for
Virginia Lieutenant Governor in 2017, hosts “The Gene Rossi Hour” on WJFN each
Saturday afternoon from noon-1 p.m. EST on WJFN 100.5 FM.
While much of the
commentary on WJFN is center-right politically, the station is actively seeking
exciting new voices offering conservative and progressive commentary to add to
its airwaves. Just as John Fredericks, a conservative supporter of President
Trump, regularly hosts both prominent Republican and Democratic guests on his
program and gives people from both sides of the aisle a chance to speak, WJFN
100.5 FM is looking for people with untapped talent who have a fresh
perspective on current affairs.
In addition to its
Virginia-based programs, WJFN 100.5 FM will air nationally-syndicated news talk
programs including the Dennis Prager Show, the Savage Nation, the Larry Elder
Show, the Joe Walsh Show, and Red Eye Radio. The station also serves as the
Central Virginia broadcast affiliate for Virginia Military Institute (VMI)
football and basketball games.
