Edna LaDouche
In her four years at NEWS 5, LaDouche was a general assignment reporter for the 10 o'clock news. Always prompt, and thoroughly reliable she earned herself the nickname "Lil Miss Reliable". She also anchored Wake up New York!! and Get Up, It's Sunday! where she not only anchored the news but did celebrity and lifestyle interviews. LaDouche also anchored Pop Watch on E!, featuring entertainment news and celebrity interviews from stars the likes of Arsenio Hall and Jeff Probst.
At the same time LaDouche became New York's first television helicopter traffic reporter at WFGC-TV, literally getting Chopper Six off the ground with her biceps. She was also a general assignment reporter for Live At Five(sometimes underwater), the 6 and 11 o'clock news and Weekend Now! in New York. That's something like 8 shows at once. When forced to look back on the time she states, "I was mistreated. I was mistreated a lot, but I always fought back and it's gotten me to where I am today." LaDouche also has done some acting in the feature length movie, BAPS with Martin Landau.
LaDouche graduated Magna Cum Laude from Mary Barnes University with a degree in Communications and Political Science.
Chuck Rich
Chuck Rich is the host of The Chuck Rich Show, PLN's new topical talk show which has taken the Male 24-48 demographic by storm.
Chuck Rich offers an unconventional look at the news of the day featuring Rich's original perspective. With topics ranging from top stories and events to life's zany little gerphuffles and pop culture boners, the show looks at the "water cooler issues" that are on real American's minds.
Rich's show-biz career started at age 11 when Rich booked several commercials as a child actor including a famous Sauce commercial from the 1980's in which a boy befriends a giant sauce bottle and together they save the sauce kingdom from the evil "Bun-Lord".
At the time he would have graduated high school, Rich pursued a career as a Top 40 disc jockey, landing a job as the youngest morning host in the United States at 18-years-old. His career took him to Top 40 morning shows all over the country.
Rich rose to prominence with his popular daily radio show, The Chuck Rich Feed Bag which was heard on nearly 200 stations nationwide, and seriously had it's way with that 24-48 Male group.
Soon after, Rich joined WLFA-AM in Pembroke, Fla., where he took over a program ranked 18th in the market and took it to No. 1 within his first year. The Chuck Rich Blow Horn launched into national syndication soon after Sept. 11, 2001. It wasn't long after that he was drafted, so to speak, by the PLN News team to host The Chuck Rich Show.

Dean Liphaus
Dean Liphaus serves as the liberal counterpart and co-host of Facklery & Dean, a one-hour debate-driven talk show focusing on controversial news makers and issues of the day.

Liphaus hosted his own self-titled early morning drive-time talk show on WVED-AM under the guise of "Dean Lippy". After penetrating the Cincinnati market, Liphaus went from a major market success to national talk radio middleweight. It was then that he was handpicked by PLN's team of scouts to co-host "Facklery & Dean". Liphaus continues to host his own radio show on PLN Radio titled the "Dean Liphaus Radio Hour" in which he delivers his controversial perspective, every midnight, to audiences in select territories.
