Michael Castner has a proven track record in: news, covering the White House for Tribune Broadcasting; TV, hosting for E! Entertainment Channel; politics, as a U.S. Congressional press advisor; and in talk radio, where he doubled morning ratings on New Orleans' WRNO-FM and hosted the innovative Nightside Project for Bonneville.
