On Target Radio
On Target Radio talk show hosts David Lombardo and Gretchen Fritz debate, debunk and discuss the week’s hot issues with their guests in the studio. Sometimes provocative, sometimes funny, but never boring, On Target Radio never shies away from controversial subjects. If it’s bugging you, it’s bugging David and Gretchen and you can count on it being discussed.
On Target Radio, is a live broadcast radio show on AM560 THE ANSWER in Chicago every Sunday evening from 9:00 to 10:00 PM. The show is dedicated to the red meat issues that affect your life from gun control to freedom of speech. AM560 THE ANSWER is Chicago's #1 conservative talk radio station.
Because On Target Radio is privately owned, it has the flexibility to give public coverage of political candidates in smaller, local races that don't have the kind of funding that allows them to do radio advertising in a major market. On Target Radio also focuses on impending legislation and local ordinances, particularly Second Amendment related, that directly affect the listening audience and that will never be covered by mainstream media. On Target Radio and On Target Newsletter meet the needs of local listeners but unlike smaller AM stations, AM560 THE ANSWER covers the entire Chicago metro area and beyond.
Many of On Target Radio’s thousands of listeners have been with us since the beginning. On Target Radio can also be viewed live as the show is simulcast on You Tube where it is archived for future viewing.
David personally owns and executive produces On Target Radio as well as writes and distributes the free, weekly industry On Target Newsletter. Neither David nor Gretchen is paid to do the show or write and distribute the newsletter. Both David and Gretchen are often asked to speak, or act as master of ceremonies, at various public events and are always happy to give free event coverage on the show and attend events with their trade show booth. However David has been paying about $700 a week out of pocket to do all of it for over four years.
If each of On Target Radio’s listeners and newsletter readers donated as little as $15 we could more than meet our six month fund raising goal but we all know there are people who will enjoy the benefits of something but not financially support it. So if you're one of the thousands who enjoy On Target Radio and On Target Newsletter, please donate as much as you're able to help keep us in production. We hope to raise sufficient funds to assure six months of production.
