Following the assassination of Charlie Kirk on Wednesday afternoon, Salem Radio Network has announced plans for a memorial show to honor the host’s memory.
Salem Radio Network will broadcast a special two-hour tribute to Kirk in the Noon-2 PM ET timeslot, which he held on the network. The special broadcast will be hosted by colleagues Mike Gallagher — who preceded Kirk in the network’s lineup from 9 AM to Noon — and 660AM The Answer host Mark Davis.
Salem Radio Network host and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was shot and killed while speaking at Utah Valley University on Wednesday afternoon.
“Charlie was more than a broadcaster—he was a fearless defender of truth and a faithful servant of God,” said Salem Media Group CEO David Santrella. “This assassination was not just an attack on Charlie, it was an attack on free speech and on the values Charlie championed every day. His absence leaves a tremendous void, but his legacy of faith, courage, and conviction will continue to inspire generations.”
“I have had the privilege of working with Charlie for nearly a decade,” added Salem’s Chief Strategy Officer Bradley Parscale. “He was part of the Salem family. His voice was fearless, unyielding, and relentless in the defense of faith and freedom. This heinous act of evil was meant to silence him, but as Christians, we know darkness cannot overcome the light. Charlie’s influence cannot and will not be silenced.”
