OUR VOICE Talk Business & Politics is a multi-media news organization focused on business and politics in Arkansas. Our new statewide platform is the result of a merger between Talk Business & Politics and The City Wire. With a combined 24 years of being news leaders in their respective areas, the newly merged Talk Business & Politics brand has become the most respected and resourced media in the industry.

Content is driven by Roby Brock and Michael Tilley (The City Wire) and their team of veterans. The recent merger created the only media company in the state offering multi-platforms dedicated to business and political news, including niche regional coverage and insights into Arkansas’ top economic sectors.

Brock is the host of Talk Business & Politics, which airs Sunday mornings at 9:30 a.m. on KATV Channel 7 and also 10:00 a.m. on KAIT Channel 8, having interviewed more than 3,000 business and political leaders. He also moderates a radio program which airs on NPR affiliates statewide. Supporting staff, contributors, and content partners represent the most knowledgeable and experienced in their fields.
