LOUISVILLE, Ky--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 29, 2005--Nationally syndicated radio talk show personality Michael Medved, heard weekdays from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. on News Talk 970 WGTK AM, Louisville, is bringing his RIGHT TURNS book tour to Hall of Fame Pavilion at Louisville Slugger Field on Monday, May 9.

Tickets include admission to the broadcast and to the evening's Louisville Bats game where Medved will throw the first pitch.

In RIGHT TURNS (Crown Forum; December 2004), Medved recalls the many important lessons that took him on his journey from the Left to the Right of American politics and pop culture. In the aftermath of the election of 2004, and the much-discussed rise of the "moral values" voters, Medved speaks for those tens of millions for whom increasing conservatism is directly connected to intensifying religiosity.

Michael Medved's daily radio program, "The Michael Medved Show," reaches more than two million listeners coast to coast. He is the author of nine other books, including the bestsellers HOLLYWOOD VS. AMERICA and WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO THE CLASS OF '65? He is a member of "USA Today's" board of contributors. For more than a decade, he co-hosted "Sneak Previews," PBS's weekly movie review show.
