Tony Kinnett of The Daily Signal Launches New Radio Show on WIBC in Indianapolis
Tony Kinnett, a renowned investigative columnist for The Daily Signal, is set to host a new nightly talk radio show on WIBC-FM (93.1) in Indianapolis. The show, titled "The Tony Kinnett Cast," is scheduled to premiere on Monday evening and will be broadcast on weekdays from 7 to 8 p.m. EST.
The Tony Kinnett Cast: A Fresh Perspective
In addition to the radio show, which will also be livestreamed, a video podcast version will be available on WIBC's YouTube channel. As a resident of Greenfield, Indiana, Kinnett is making history as the youngest host of a daily show in the radio station's 85-year history.
Bringing Honesty to the Airwaves
"I'm honored to bring a show to Hoosiers and the nation on this historic station," Kinnett said. He expressed his excitement to be part of the momentum replacing legacy media, which he believes has been marred by corruption and censorship, with something fresh and honest. Kinnett looks forward to sharing his hard work with listeners tuning in on the air, catching the livestream, or listening to the podcast later.
Kinnett's Journey to The Daily Signal and WIBC
Before joining The Daily Signal in December 2022, Kinnett, a former public school teacher and administrator in Indiana, wrote for National Review, The Federalist, The Daily Caller, and the Washington Examiner. He also founded the education news site Chalkboard Review, which served as a platform for teachers and parents. His reporting on education led Anderson University to stop holding racially segregated sessions on "inclusivity" for campus students.
From Guest Segments to Hosting His Own Show
Kinnett's relationship with WIBC began in 2021 when he started doing guest segments on the station, exposing the teaching of critical race theory in schools across Indiana and the country. His insightful contributions led to regular guest appearances and eventually guest hosting opportunities. When Abdul-Hakim Shabaz ran for mayor of Indianapolis, Kinnett filled in for him for 12 weeks on Saturdays from 1 to 3 p.m.
Kinnett's Educational Background and Parody Twitter Account
In addition to his investigative work, Kinnett is known for launching the successful Twitter parody account "Ministry of Truth" (@USMiniTru), which initially mocked the Biden administration's short-lived Disinformation Board. Kinnett holds two master's degrees, in education technology and curriculum development, from Ball State University, and a bachelor's degree in science education from Maranatha Baptist University.
With the addition of Kinnett, WIBC will be "all local" from 6 a.m to 8 p.m.
