The Chris Plante Show

Tune in to The Chris Plante Show on Patriot Talk 920 AM—one of the most intelligent and entertaining voices in conservative talk radio, combining sharp political analysis with humor, storytelling, and insider perspective from decades in national news. Known for his quick wit and engaging delivery, Chris Plante breaks down the biggest stories of the day while keeping listeners informed, energized, and often laughing along the way.

Hosted by Chris Plante, the show stands apart because of Plante’s deep background in serious, boots-on-the-ground journalism. Before becoming a nationally syndicated radio host on Westwood One, Plante spent 17 years at CNN, where he worked as a Pentagon correspondent, senior producer for national security, and military affairs expert. During his time at CNN, he traveled the world covering major geopolitical events, including conflicts in the Middle East, Bosnia, and other global hotspots—giving him firsthand knowledge of military, intelligence, and foreign policy issues that few talk radio hosts can match.

Plante also comes from a deep journalism lineage—his stepfather, Bill Plante, was a legendary White House correspondent for CBS News, further shaping his understanding of media, politics, and Washington’s inner workings. That foundation shows in his ability to cut through media narratives and deliver clear, fact-driven commentary with authority.

The Chris Plante Show blends that high-level experience with a fast-paced, entertaining format—featuring breaking news, cultural commentary, and Plante’s signature humor and storytelling style.
