IRN/USA Radio News to carry presidents speech to a joint session of congress

DALLAS – (February 20, 2009) IRN/USA Radio News coverage will begin at 9 PM eastern on the IU4 satellite channel. The White House has not indicated how long the President will speak so all programming on IU4 will be preempted for the entire hour. IRN/USA News will also air the Republican response to the Presidents speech so preemption could possibly extend beyond 10 PM eastern.

Coverage of this event will be anchored by IRN/USA Radio News Director Chuck Bates.
