Hedgecock’s engaging personality and straight talk have helped
him dominate ratings on KSDO-AM and KOGO-AM in San Diego for the last
twenty years. His political experiences, including stints as the Del
Mar City Attorney and Mayor of San Diego, have provided listeners with
first-hand accounts from inside government. He’s been named one
of the Top 100 talkers in America by Talker’s Magazine —
for 10 years in a row -- and he has a history of turning passive listeners
into activists.
In 1994, when Republicans took control of the House, Roger and his audience insisted on making the Contract with America a reality and not just a platform. Over 200 listeners paid their own way to join Roger’s broadcast and lobby the new Congress in Washington, D.C. The event became known as “Hold Their Feet To The Fire”.
Roger has been coming back to Washington each year since. In 2008, over 40 other talk hosts from around the nation participated in Hold Their Feet to the Fire, putting pressure on Congress to enact True Immigration Reform.
After 9/11, Roger and his listeners started Homefront San Diego, an organization that provided thousands of military families with cars, furniture, food and other assistance.
Hedgecock is a columnist and an author of the recently published three book series: The 2008 Conservative Field Guide to: # 1. Immigration, # 2. The War and # 3. Healthcare. He is also a frequent guest on Hannity & Colmes, The O’Reilly Factor and other Fox News Channel Shows, on CNN’s Lou Dobb’s Show and on MSNBC. His proven track record also earned him the preferred guest host position on The Rush Limbaugh Show for over a decade.
Roger Hedgecock has received numerous local and nation broadcasting awards, including being nominated twice for the prestigious Marconi Award.
