for the magazine. Visit autoweek.com/radio for a complete list of stations.  

"This is another extension of AutoWeek's authoritative voice and reach to
hungry consumers enthusiastic about cars, trucks and sport-utility vehicles,"

to provide information that is accessible and entertaining - whether through
the magazine pages, at autoweek.com, on an MP3 player or mobile device,
through video or now over the radio. We deliver the latest and greatest
information from an exciting industry."  

Each week, the editors, contributors, guests and celebrities will bring to
life the latest news from an ever-changing car world. With more than 50 years
under its belt, AutoWeek delivers insight in a way no other source can.   

The nationally syndicated radio program, hosted by Thomas Michael Berg, is
broadcast on the Radio America Network and reaches more than half a million
listeners every week. 

"AutoWeek Radio brings an added dimension to one of the most successful and
long-running automotive magazine brands, and it is an honor to be part of this
innovation," said Berg. "What better way to appeal to AutoWeek fans than to
reach them via the airwaves, whether it is sharing their commuting time or
their garage time. The show will bring more people into touch with AutoWeek
insight during this revolutionary time in the world's auto industry."
