Nova M Radio
Nova M Radio, LLC is a radio station acquisition firm and upstart radio syndication service originally operated by Sheldon Drobny, Anita Drobny and Mike Newcomb (who later left the firm). Its stated purpose was to purchase, own and operate under-performing radio stations in small and medium sized markets. These stations would then broadcast progressive talk radio content, particularly programming from their own network, as well as from Air America Radio and other organizations.
History
In late March 2006, Nova M Radio entered into an agreement with Continental Broadcasting, owner of KPHX in Phoenix, Arizona, bringing the progressive talk programming formerly carried by KXXT (1010 kHz AM) with them.
On October 18 of the same year, following the Chapter 11 filing by Air America, Nova M announced that it would form its own radio network featuring personalities including Newcomb, Mike Malloy, and John Zogby. [1] KPHX serves as the flagship of Nova M's new network.
The company operated KDXE in Little Rock, Arkansas, under a similar agreement until early 2007. Nova M originally planned to lease stations in other cities, but more recently, the Drobny's have urged local groups to organize to purchase or lease stations for progressive talk radio.
Programming
Nova M Radio's own offerings consist of two weekday shows, hosted by Jeff Farias (weeknights 6-9PM) and Mike Malloy (9PM-midnight). The network's other offerings consist of weekly programming, such as the UnreportedNews.net Radio Show with Hurricane Katrina survivor Herb "Sarge" Phelps, A Different View with Rev. Walt Wieder and Jeff Young, and Declare Your Independence with Ernest Hancock. The network's web stream is that of their Phoenix flagship station, KPHX, and airs outside syndicated programming such as Stephanie Miller and various Air America Radio programs.
