[edit] Purchase by Salem
In May of 2006, Salem Communications purchased Townhall.com. Salem named Chuck DeFeo as the site's new manager, and Hugh Hewitt as the site's "Executive Editor". The site, which was relaunched on July 4th of 2006, reflected Hewitt's ambition to create a clearinghouse for conservative New Media and activism; it kept the deep stable of conservative commentators and columnists, but added an ambitious slate of new features, including podcasts of Salem network and local talk shows, blogs run by Salem talk show hosts, links to send feedback to politicians and sign petitions, and a facility to allow any user to set up a blog on the Townhall.com server.
[edit] Print Edition
In February 2008 TownHall.com premiered as a monthly print magazine, "Townhall." [1] [2]
