John McConnell spent 20 years at the ABC Radio Network where he was the SVP of Programming and managed and created The ESPN Radio Network, ABC News Radio, The Mike Huckabee Report, The Sean Hannity Show, Paul Harvey?s News and Comment and American Country Countdown with Kix Brooks. McConnell is also an executive board member and development chair of the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation and a board member of the Radio Hall of Fame which is where he met Peter Kiernan.
McConnell and Kiernan are teaming up "to carve a new space in today?s media landscape. Recognizing that hyper partisanship is negatively affecting the nation, they?re seeking to define the new radical center. Recently, McConnell Media, in association with Abrams Artists Agency, secured a book deal for Kiernan with Turner Publishing Company. Kiernan?s Becoming China?s Bitch; and Nine More Catastrophes We Must Avoid Right Now, a Manifesto for the Radical Center hits bookshelves February, 2012. McConnell?s reputation for developing successful talent and content makes this an ideal partnership. Additional media opportunities for Kiernan are currently in development with McConnell Media."
McConnell says, ?people like Peter who have built businesses, created jobs and fortunes for others while at the same time caring for those who need it most are the future opinion leaders. It?s not always my way or the highway. Americans want diversity in their media. Peter effectively and charismatically addresses this hot button issue. Kiernan is a frequent contributor on television?s Today, Good Morning America, CNN, CNBC, FOX News, and Bloomberg. A new breed of media and opinion leader, his life experience and persuasive ability give him unique perspective and ability to create change.
