Salem Media Plans Charlie Kirk Tribute

Salem Media announces that it will “honor the life and legacy” of Charlie Kirk on September 10, the one-year anniversary of his tragic death, with a special tribute airing across Salem Radio Network, Salem News Channel and Townhall Media platforms. The special program is being narrated by Salem hosts Mike Gallagher, Larry O’Connor, and Alex Marlow, with a special appearance by imgLarry Elder.  Salem says, “The special tells the story of how Charlie started Turning Point USA in his parents’ garage and built it into one of the largest youth organizations in the country, becoming the most consequential conservative voice of his generation. The program will tell Charlie’s remarkable story largely through his own voice, including rare audio from his first interview with longtime Salem host Dennis Prager when Charlie was just 22 years old.” Salem CEO David Santrella adds, “There was nobody quite like Charlie. He connected with young people in a way few others could and turned that connection into a movement.”
