IMPACT Award
Recipient
Chris Plante
Host of the Chris Plante Show on
WMAL / Westwood One
Washington, DC
Chris received the Edward R. Murrow Award from the Radio and Television
News Directors Association (RTNDA) for his reporting from the Pentagon during
the terrorist attacks on September 11th, 2001.
Chris formerly hosted his own program on the The American Life television
network, and nowadays makes frequent appearances on various cable news
networks including the Fox News Channel, CNN and MSNBC.
In his time with WMAL, Chris has helped raise significant amounts of money for
charities like the Fisher House Foundation.
Representing the third generation of his family that has been on-the-air in
radio and television, Chris brings a unique worldview, and largely conservative/
libertarian values to his role as talk show host on WMAL.
Marching in lock-step with no politician, Chris says his political party is Practi-
crat because of my distinctly practical political leanings.
