1906 - Bobby Batugo, World Champion Mixologist in the 1970s, born in The Philippines [story]
Bobby Batugo


joemessinamugWm. S. Hart School Board member Joe Messina’s professional life has just taken a big turn as he has signed a syndication deal for his radio show that will put him in 30 cities across the country.

“The Real Side with Joe Messina,” a conservative talk show that airs online as well as seven select cities, has the possibility of expanding to 80 cities in 2016.

“I thought seven stations was a lot,” Messina said during an interview on SCV Today, Santa Clarita’s only live morning television show.  “But then when they sit down and say we want you on 30 stations and it’s live and it’s over satellite and you’re saying ‘Ok, Wow!'”

Heard locally on AM-1220 KHTS, “The Real Side” and its accompanying website therealside.com focus on the conservative side of politics.  Messina was recently ranked as the eighth hottest conservative talk-show host by politichicks.com.

    Great. Now even more people get to hear this ignorant clown’s fascist right-wing racist ranting.

  4. Joe Messina says:

    Not really I dont get many Obama supporters listening!

  5. Adam Tratner says:

    Hmm I wonder why. By the way, you don’t need to support Obama or even be a “liberal” in order to find your rhetoric homophobic, xenophobic, sexist, and antiquated to say the least.

  6. Do people realize how easy it is to get syndicated? And in 30 cities? Hahaha

  7. Steve Colf says:

    Sincerest congratulations from the Colf Family. This is a very big deal for the Messina Family.
    God Bless!

  8. Lee says:

    Please, just don’t mention Awesometown in your broadcasts…we don’t need to be further tainted…

  9. Lainie says:

    So happy for you, Joe and your family! Despite the snide comments above, you know those are typical hateful and spiteful comments from the leftists. Keep on keeping on. God bless you!

  10. Diana Limon says:

    Ranked as #8? Good for you. Congratulations, Joe and family. God be with you and your newest endeavor!
