Starting October 6th, Fox News Radio’s Fox
Across America will hold a weeklong American Idol-style
competition featuring bloggers from BlogTalkRadio.
BlogTalkRadio is a free, web-based talk radio
platform that allows users to hold live internet radio talk shows that are then
archived as podcasts.
The competition starts with four liberal and
four conservative bloggers.
In each round, two bloggers will compete
one-on-one, with each being given five minutes to respond to the same topic.
Listeners will then vote, either through an
online poll or text message, and the winner will advance to the next
round. Friday, October 10th, the winning liberal will compete against the
winning conservative.
The two winners, along with host Spencer Hughes,
will co-host a weeklong election special live on Fox News Radio at 8 a.m. the
week of October 20th.
“In the four short years since the last
presidential election, bloggers have gone from a mere curiosity to a significant
force in shaping our nation’s political opinions,” said Alan Levy, CEO of
BlogTalkRadio in a statement.
Fox Across America airs on Sirius XM
Radio and FoxNewsRadio.com.
