I admit when I am wrong. Joy Browne was on Daynet. Here's the scoop on Daynet, straight from Alan Colmes bio.....
The summer of 1990 was an important time in the evolution of talk radio and in the career of Alan Colmes. ABC Talk radio decided to disband its weekday line-up, not content with the profit margin of its nationally syndicated talk product. With the phenomenal success of Rush Limbaugh as a hard-hitting, controversial, conservative host, a group of maverick broadcasters thought they knew better. That group included the legendary Barry Farber, his trusted executive producer, Michael Castello, and Alan Colmes. ABC was to stop delivering its shows on September 28. The following Monday, October 1, there would be lots of stations needing programming. The plan was to be up and running on that date, offering Farber and Dr. Joy Brown, already staples on ABC Talk radio, and to round out the presentation with America's first nationally syndicated liberal: Alan Colmes. Castello, Farber, Colmes, and technical wizard Miguel Laboy created Daynet, and only one thing stood between them and the dream they shared of creating America’s newest radio network: money. With the help of a group of local investors and every penny the assembled participants could spare, Daynet hit the ground running on October 1, 1990 with much more of a wing than a prayer. In fact, many industry pundits suggested prayer as the only way to stay afloat. Astounding onlookers (and some network personnel), Daynet not only survived, it thrived, enabling all parties concerned to build upon their careers. Impressed with “the little engine that could,” Major Networks purchased Daynet at the beginning of 1994. Two years later, building on an association Alan had developed years earlier when he worked at New York’s WHN, Farber and Colmes reclaimed their network and formed an association with the legendary Nick Verbitsky and Dick Clark at United Stations. Colmes, Farber and Verbitsky developed the talk radio arm of United and finally had the resources they had dreamed of to put the final polish on their syndicated efforts.
