MSG Entertainment is proud to announce the first annual "Radio

World," a timely and important series of events that will provide
attendees with a unique framework for understanding America's current
political landscape and place in world politics, through the insights
of some of the most prominent political figures of our time. Over the
course of three months, Radio City will host four special evenings
with top political leaders and pundits, including former U.S.
President Bill Clinton; former U.S. Vice President Al Gore; former
presidential candidate and New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani; former
presidential and vice presidential candidate John Edwards; high
profile political operative James Carville; former political
commentator Tucker Carlson; and influential blogger Arianna

event moderators for two of the evenings. Moderators for President
Clinton and Vice President Al Gore's engagements will be announced at
a later date.
"MSG Entertainment is proud to present our first speaker series
featuring such a distinguished group of political figures, during one
of the most exciting and important presidential election years of our
lifetime," said Melissa Miller Ormond, executive vice president,
Bookings, MSG Entertainment. "We hope that 'The Radio City Music Hall
Speaker Series' will not only give New Yorkers an informative and
empowering experience that will help them make informed political
decisions, but also inspire them to become more involved in our
democratic process."
"Over its long history Radio City Music Hall has been the site of
an extremely diverse collection of events that have spanned the
spectrum of topics - from entertainment to movies to politics. With
the 'Radio City Music Hall Speaker Series,' we are embracing the
unique capacity of Radio City to serve as a destination for important
cultural events," added Ormond.
The series will be formatted to allow for each participant to
present their thoughts on a wide range of important political and
national issues, followed by a moderated question and answer period

insights into particularly pertinent topics of the day.
