Before Nevada Newsmakers there was the Sam Shad Radio Program. Running for three years from 1991 to 1993. These hour-long programs feature Nevada legends. We will follow the Nevada Newsmakers Archive plan by releasing 5 programs a week over the coming months.
Nevada Newsmakers itself is now in its 24th year on the air. We have over 4600 programs in the archive. Until recently our online searchable archives only went back to 2005. Now we have added programs going back to 2002. Nevada history. There will be a weekly email to let you know which guests will be up each week. Subscribe to the email here. These archives will be available on the Nevada Newsmakers web site and our Nevada Newsmakers YouTube Channel. Coming soon.
