Talk radio host and conservative activist Melanie Morgan’s popular morning show has been taken off the air in San Francisco after a 14-year run.
In addition to hosting the “Lee Rodgers and Melanie Morgan Show” on station KSFO 560, Morgan is the chairman of Move America Forward, a non-profit organization that supports American armed forces in the war on terrorism and has been called the conservative answer to MoveOn.org.
In a message to Move America Forward supporters, Morgan said:
“Citadel Broadcasting, which recently acquired the ABC Radio Group - including KSFO radio — is undergoing some major financial problems, and is involved in a company-wide cost-cutting campaign. Sadly, the decision not to renew my contract is part of their cost-cutting effort. Monday, March 3, 2008, marked my last day on the airwaves at KSFO.
“It has been my honor to speak to so many of you every morning for the past 14 years on KSFO as we built a conservative movement to take on radical liberals and their attacks on our brave men and women who serve this country in the U.S. military.
“I want you to know something very important, and please pay close to attention to this: Our very important work supporting our troops is not done, and don't think for a minute that I will give up the work we do here at Move America Forward. We've only just begun, folks!”
In addition to her work supporting American troops, Morgan was one of the lead organizers of the April 2005 "Hold Their Feet to the Fire" effort in Washington, D.C., a grassroots campaign against illegal immigration.
