Bin Laden to Host Radio Program: Look out Rush Limbaugh and Howard Stern, Osama Bin Laden is getting ready to take over the airwaves. Radio networks around the world are clamoring to air the "Osama Bin Laden Power Hour," a daily radio show that will feature the terrorist that everyone loves to hate giving a daily dose of anti-US propaganda, messages from Allah, and good old-fashioned incites to violence.
Due to his status as an international fugitive, Bin Laden will not be doing the show live, and thus will not be able to take callers. "That is the only unfortunate aspect of the Osama Bin Laden Power Hour," said Mark Woodall, station manager for KFGD 1040 in Sacramento, CA, "we had hoped that Osama would be able to connect with his audience: both those people that agree and disagree with him."
When informed about the Bin Laden radio program, President Bush said, "I hope to eventually have him doing this radio show from a jail cell." Attorney General John Ashcroft said that the Justice Department will investigate whether those stations that air the "Osama Bin Laden Power Hour" are "providing aid and comfort to terrorists." Ashcroft also confirmed that the FBI would tune in to the program daily to determine whether it is actually Osama Bin Laden hosting the program.
According to a Bin Laden spokesman, the show will be taped daily, and those tapes will be distributed to the networks that have agreed to host the show. Preliminary research indicates that Osama Bin Laden will generate better ratings than Air America.
