Co-Founder of TalkUSA Radio Admits to Paying Prostitute

Thursday April 3, 2008
Thomas Athans, who co-founded the liberal TalkUSA Radio Network, "...told authorities that he used the Internet to arrange a $150 sexual tryst with a prostitute at a metropolitan Detroit hotel, police said," according to wxyz.com.

Athans, 46, began TalkUSA Radio in 2006. Prior to that he was involved in programming at Air America Radio. To make matters even worse, Athans is the husband of Michigan U.S. Senator, Debbie Stabenow.
