MINNEAPOLIS -- Morning Air, the Catholic drive-time talk show on Relevant Radio, expanded to three hours starting May 3 from 6 to 9 a.m.

Jeff Cavins, who built a loyal following as an author and speaker before making his radio debut, hosts this morning show. With recent guests ranging from mystery author Mary Higgins Clark to Kathie Lee Gifford, NFL legend Roger Staubach to White House senior advisor Jim Towey, Morning Air talks about life: faith in the workplace; time management; current affairs; movie reviews; realistic looks at media and entertainment.

As a result of the expansion of Morning Air to three hours, Fr. John Corapi's program moves to the 10 a.m. timeslot. Father Corapi's hard-hitting, "no compromises" style makes him one of the most provocative hosts on the radio dial.
