Editing Jeff Rense (section)

==Radio host==
Rense's first [[radio show|on-air]] experience came while he was a student at [[University of California, Santa Barbara]] in the 1970s.<REF NAME="DAILYNEXUS04131971">[https://www.alexandria.ucsb.edu/downloads/rf55z8876 "IVCC HOLDS ELECTION, POLL"], ''The Daily Nexus'', University of California, Santa Barbara, issue April 13, 1971.</ref>

In 1994, Rense self-financed a radio show on Santa Barbara's [[KTMS]]. The show was originally broadcast as ''Sightings on the Radio'', the title being a direct reference to the television series ''[[Sightings (TV series)|Sightings]]''. The show was originally distributed by [[Premiere Radio Networks]] but was dropped in the late 1990s after it was deemed hate speech and banned in Europe. [[Talk Radio Network]] then carried the show through the early 2000s, when all references to ''Sightings'' were dropped and the title ''Jeff Rense Program'' was adopted.

[[Genesis Communications Network]] took over distribution and carried the show through August 2009, when Rense accused fellow GCN host [[Alex Jones]] of threatening to "destroy" him.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dailypaul.com/node/88061 |title=Alex Jones threatens Jeff Rense, has him kicked off GCN &#124; Peace .
