The Mike Malloy Show is a progressive radio talk show, syndicated by the Nova M Radio network, and hosted by long-time radio personality Mike Malloy. Previously, the show was syndicated by Air America Radio, but Air America abruptly dropped the show on August 30, 2006. Malloy constantly refers to his audience as "Truthseekers".

Its broadcast originates from Atlanta, Georgia, though the minimal in-studio staff allows Malloy to broadcast from other locations when he travels. The show features Malloy's extended monologues on the day's news, listener calls, and occasional guest interviews. Malloy's radio style is very confrontational and controversial: he is an advocate of 9/11 conspiracy theories, the impeachment of George W. Bush and the ousting of what he calls "spineless, pink tutu democrats" from the U.S. Congress.

The show launched on August 2, 2004 and broadcasted live on weeknights from 10PM - 1AM Eastern Time on some Air America affiliates.

On January 2006, Malloy's show was removed from WLIB, Air America's New York City affiliate. He was replaced by the a-political Satellite Sisters' show. On August 11, 2006, he announced his pending return to WLIB on September 1, 2006, barring no unforeseen difficulties. However, unforeseen difficulties did indeed arise.

On August 30, 2006 the following notice appeared on his web site:

“

MIKE MALLOY FIRED BY AIR AMERICA RADIO: There will be no Mike Malloy program today - or any day - on Air America Radio as we have been terminated. We are as shocked as you are. We are told it's a financial decision. More details to follow as we hear them ourselves.

”

At the time, Malloy was not doing his show, but substituting for Randi Rhodes on her show. In an interview on The Majority Report that aired on September 8, 2006, Mike explained that he was fired for "financial reasons." He said he was looking for another place to do his show, and while he would like to come back to Air America, he would never do so while the current management was in place due to the unprofessional way he was fired.

Immediately after Malloy's firing from Air America, Head On Radio Network broadcasted "best of" Malloy programs that date back to March 2003 at 10:00 PM EST [1]

Since October 30, 2006, Malloy is broadcasting on the Nova M Radio network from 9:00 PM to midnight EST.

[edit] Regular features

• 1984 - Malloy read excerpts from George Orwell's classic novel during one segment of the show (usually in the last half-hour); lasted from January 2006 through May 2006.
