Jim Dabakis and K-TALK Radio just announced a weekly talk radio program, called "The Dabakis Factor."

It will be aired live every Saturday morning from 10 a.m. to noon on K-TALK AM 630 and broadcast state wide via LIVE streaming audio through K-TALK's website (http://www.k-talk.com) beginning Saturday June 9. Dabakis declined to release financial details of the deal. Dabakis is a veteran talk show host, art dealer, agitator, and Chair for the Utah State Democratic Party. Dabakis said in a press release, "After years of Utah's public airwaves filled almost exclusively with national extremist, right wing wacko's talk radio, enough is enough! It is time to tell the rest of the story! The Utah GOP has a virtual monopoly on information in so many parts of the state; we are confident once people hear what is really happening, minus the spin, they will be first alarmed then motivated to look for real solutions."
