Praise for FRONT ROW

"FRONT ROW with Marc Rotterman provides thoughtful, intelligent debate on issues of concern to North Carolina and the nation."

- NC House Speaker Tim Moore

"Marc's extensive knowledge of politics makes for a solid discussion. He's insightful and respectful... something often lacking in today's media."
