Q: Bobbi from Pomona:
Tray
I can't find a radio station that carries the radio address. Do any stations in Pomona carry it?

A: Trey Bohn:
Bobbi, thanks for your question. In the Greater Los Angeles area, many all-news talk radio stations may air the President's Weekly Radio Address. I know that KNX 1070 AM does in fact air the audio. It is made available to all radio stations at 10:06 AM Eastern Time each Saturday. However, not all stations that air the Radio Address do so at that specific Eastern Time. I would encourage you to contact your local all-news format stations' programming departments in your area to find out more.

Q: Tristan from Carsonville, MI:
What day does president bush record his radio address?

thanks tristan

A: Trey Bohn:
Thanks for your question. As you might imagine, the President's schedule is quite busy, but he generally records the Radio Address on Fridays. However, there are times when his schedule permits recording it earlier in the week.

Q: Efran from El Paso:
Where does the President record his radio address?

A: Trey Bohn:
Thanks for your question.

When the President is working at the White House, he records the President's Weekly Radio Address to the Nation in the Cabinet Room, just a few feet from the Oval Office.

Exceptions have been made for logistical reasons in other locations on the White House grounds, but for the most part, the President prefers the acoustics and comfort of the Cabinet Room.

Q: Rochelle from Austin, TX:
Where can I find a list of radio stations that air President Bush's weekly radio address in Texas and other states?

A: Trey Bohn:
Thanks for your question. All radio stations that subscribe to news services such as ABC, CBS, CNN, AP, UPI or USA can access the President's Weekly Radio Address to the nation. It is fed live at 10:06 ET each Saturday morning for local affiliates to broadcast.

Many of your local 'all news' format AM stations will typically air the President's Weekly Radio Address, but are under no obligation to do so. Some stations may even air it at different times depending on their programming. Therefore, there isn't a list with consistently accurate information available. I would encourage you to contact your local stations' programming departments to find out more. In Austin, 590 AM and 1370 AM may be a good start, but it can always be found at www.whitehouse.gov/radio each and every Saturday.
