Unions welcome alternatives to right-wing radio Workday Minnesota
“There’s so much extremist radio out there and they care so little about the facts,” said Corinne Hoeft, High Ground’s executive producer. “The number one thing we hope to do is be an alternative to the extremist radio . . . a centrist radio station that someone from a union can listen to.”
Indeed, unions helped launch High Ground. Ads for the Carpenters Union and IBEW, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, can be heard on all three programs. Local union leaders have been frequent guests on High Ground.
“We at the Carpenters Union felt that having a different tone of the political conversation on talk radio was necessary,” said Ken Kelash, community liaison for the Lakes & Plains Regional Council of Carpenters. “We took a shot with Janet’s team and the ideas she had.”
