Many daily morning shows just deliver news and information to their listeners and viewers. It's a one-way conversation. "NOW with Dave Brown" isn't like anything else you'll hear or see. Airing weekdays at 9 a.m. Eastern on AMI-audio and AMI-tv, "NOW with Dave Brown" is a two-way discussion between host and audience.
"'NOW with Dave Brown' is a show for everyone," host Dave Brown explains. "We’re not just thinking inclusivity through a disability lens, but one where everyone is welcome to start their day with us live on TV or online. Even if you miss us live, we want to be a part of your daily routine as a podcast. We also want that in the feedback that you bring us. Whether that be on Twitter, via phone or e-mail, we want to hear what you think about the show, your thoughts about what we talk about, or what you think we should be thinking about."
A live two-hour news and current events show, "NOW with Dave Brown" promises to be fearless with how news of the day is addressed, arming listeners and viewers with information about what’s going on in their community, their city, their province, their country and their world. The morning program will nationalize regional issues and regionalize national issues, covering the big stories in politics, business, entertainment, social media and sports.
