Currently airing on nearly 200 stations nationwide, Our American Stories features positive, inspiring accounts of everyday Americans doing extraordinary things. Covering every hamlet and precinct in America, big and small, the stories span arts and sports, business and history, innovation and adventure, generosity and courage, resilience and redemption, faith and love, past and present. In short, Our American Stories tells the story of America to Americans.
“We have spent the last five years telling stories about all that is good and decent in America, and why millions of people from around the world still wish to call our country home,” Habeeb explained. “The show has grown because Americans want more than conflict and bad news: they crave positive, redemptive stories from our past and present – many from our listeners – that lift their spirits and inspire them, and that’s what we do each and every day on our show.”
“We’re excited to offer this entertaining and compelling program to even more stations nationwide,” stated Premiere Networks President Julie Talbott. “Lee and his team are masterful storytellers and they’ve created a unique and inspiring program that resonates widely with audiences.”
