20 years ago today, Democracy Now! went on the air on the eve of the New Hampshire primary. The date was February 19, 1996. The show began as a radio show on a handful of stations. It expanded into television five years later. Today, 5,000 episodes later, Democracy Now! airs on over 1,400 TV and radio stations.
Planet Waves wishes Democracy Now! a very happy 20th birthday, with much love to Amy, Juan and the crew.
