''The Ed Schultz Show'' was a progressive talk radio program hosted by Ed Schultz. It was formerly broadcast from KFGO in Fargo, North Dakota. It is heard on a network of over 100 stations (), including seven of the 10 largest radio markets. He is also on XM and Sirius satellite radio. Schultz's radio show moved to New York City in May 2009, a relocation brought on by his new television show at MSNBC. == History == Schultz launched ''The Ed Schultz Show'' on January 5, 2004. Created and financed by Democracy Radio and distributed by Jones Radio Networks, the show started in two markets (Needles, California and Langdon, North Dakota) and quickly grew, signing another dozen stations in smaller, mostly upper Midwest markets. For a while, Schultz continued his ''News and Views'' broadcasts, though by February 2005 it was announced that Joel Heitkamp, a North Dakota state senator, was taking over that show. On February 1, 2007, Ed Schultz returned to hosting the ''News and Views'' show. After growing to approximately 95 affiliates, Democracy Radio sold its majority stake in ''The Ed Schultz Show'' to Product First in June 2005, a company started by Randy Michaels and Stu Krane, who had previously been involved with launching Rush Limbaugh's radio show. Distribution continued with Jones Radio Networks and subsequently by its successor, Dial Global. Schultz's flagship KFGO dropped ''The Ed Schultz Show'' between January 2006 and February 2007 due to an apparent conflict with the station's management which new ownership cleared up. Fargo's KQWB aired the program in the interim. In 2009, ''Talkers'' magazine rated Ed Schultz is the 18th most important talk show host in the United States.〔(Talkers Magazine - List of radio hosts )〕 During his show on May 24, 2011, Schultz called Laura Ingraham both a "right-wing slut" and a "talk slut". Feminist organizations, including the Women's Media Center, called for his suspension. The following day he issued an apology, saying he "used vile and inappropriate language when talking about talk show host Laura Ingraham. I am deeply sorry, and I apologize. It was wrong, uncalled for and I recognize the severity of what I said. I apologize to you, Laura, and ask for your forgiveness," and offering an indefinite self-suspension without pay.〔''Huffington Post'': (Ed Schultz Apologizes: Laura Ingraham Comments 'Vile And Inappropriate'. ) May 26, 2011.〕 MSNBC issued a statement saying that it had accepted Schultz's offer to take one week of unpaid leave. On May 22, 2014, Schultz announced he was discontinuing the program. The decision came several months after a string of large-market stations had dropped the progressive talk format.〔(Ed Schultz's radio show ends ). ''TruthRevolt.org''.
