Proof that you can successfully bury a station ID.
I was great at that in FL back in 2005, for no other reason than I could, @michael hagerty .. mainly cuse i was a nerd
"and that's your brevard county traffic and weather together.. its currently 81 in vero beach, 79 in orlando, 77 in titusville and your current WTIR Cocoa Beach temperature is 80. CNN headline news returns in just 60 seconds"
My favorite is still the station that was in Eaton, Ohio, just outside of Dayton, which used:
"(Call letters) Eatin' Dayton Alive!"
Okay, will someone explain how a fishing show can buy 2 hours worth of time? And then... what is there that fills 2 full hours of content!
And are we sure it's a fishing show?
All kidding aside, KFBK in Sacramento has a three-hour fishing, hunting and outdoor activities show on Saturday mornings from 5-8 a.m. Hosted by a guy named Bob Simms. Been on the air forever ("Since Jesus was a baby", Bob would say). Bob's an independent contractor and finds the sponsors for it.
I understand KHTK here in Sac does something similar.
Nah, those were Bible verses in religious shows and it was in that normally corrupt Washington, D.C.
Curious: how much is about fishing itself and how much is lifestyle, camping, hiking and related things? And... doesn't "hunting" require, uh, weapons?
Being clear here, since we're both on two different threads about two different Sacramento stations----this is KFBK---not CapRadio. Weapons are not only not a problem, they're highly encouraged (I hear talk they might make them mandatory).
As to the particulars, it depends on the season. Usually fishing and hunting, but it will vary. Skiing, especially cross-country and snowshoeing.
Bob and I got on famously during my six years at 'BK, as I am the son of a career California Department of Fish & Game employee and after my dad died was essentially raised by seven game wardens.
"Z93 is WGTZ Eaton Dayton & Springfield Alive"
say that real fast and it makes sense
The show has had a slight name change... Let's Talk Hook Up. I wonder what prompted that?

Good taste?
There's sufficient year-round sport fishing in the San Diego area---especially south of the border, down to Ensenada---that there's probably an audience for it.
Whether they know the radio show is there or not is another question. But, again, using Bob Simms at KFBK as an example, it's cheap airtime (early Saturday morning) and you sell to non-chain or local chain sporting goods stores, etc. Nobody's getting rich, but it's not that hard to sell if you have the right guy doing it and he's willing to sell it himself.
I can't believe this thread has devolved down to discussing early Saturday morning fishing shows in Sacramento.
Well, actually I can.
Well, actually I can.
We’re discussing one on XEPRS, Flip. Sacramento’s just context.
To get this back closer to the original thread, though, would someone please listen on Saturday and let us know if the fishing show host on XEPRS is dead?
Deep sea fishing is a popular sport down here, bringing in people from around the world that partake. San Diego harbor is full of boats that set out every AM on these excursions. Now, how many listen to a Saturday morning talk show on AM radio for this...who knows. If they're not doing a podcast yet, they should be.
Sounds like you're carping about it....
ISWYDT.
I fEEL that there is something fishy going on here.
So you're saying that the discussion of a Saturday morning fishing show on (checks notes) a Mexican AM signal is not quite as absurd. Got it.
Well, lessee here...
(checks notes)
Started with disc jockey dead 29 years on Mexican AM signal...
immediately detoured (in the second post) to a critique of the journalistic abilities of Richard Wagoner...
Wagoner critique runs with very little interruption by the actual point of the thread for two, no...three pages...
morphs into discussion of streaming music....
Oh---you'll find this funny---I get it back on track in post #86 with a bit about how what XEPRS is doing now (Wolfman and other stuff) is very similar to the 1960s roots of the station with Wolfman....
not everyone wants to come along for the ride...we end up a page later in a discussion of KLOS and KMET's ratings in the early 70s...
...that led into a brief "WWBDD" (what would Bill Drake do?)....
a little shtick about how good the music on KIIS-AM was in '72...
back with post #119 to Wolfman (post-XERB, but let's take the "w", right?)...
some yadayada (as Ron Jacobs would say) about "the future of oldies"....
Mike Stark's writing gets called "Wagoner-esque", so we're off to the races again...
post #157, Daryl Lynn comes to Richard's defense, there's a Rich Lieberman side-burn...
post #176, I join Daryl Lynn...
we end up with more yada about Los Angeles radio writers of the past umpteen decades...
I end up defending my defense of Richard Wagoner for two pages...
You and I agreed on posts #223 and 228...
there's a skirmish for a page and a half on how radio picks music...
little thing about AT40....
a dissection of what "El Chingon" really means...which actually put us back on-topic---what is XEPRS doing?---for several pages...
couple jokes about additional dead DJs...oops...that was me...
a note that XEPRS' website has a typo...but we're hanging in there...
Steve Mittman (new to the board) is upset about the potshots at Wagoner from two months earlier...Fybush says Richard would be welcome...
still mostly talking about XEPRS, what it's airing and its business model...
and @KilowattKat , nine days ago, mentions the fishing show....completely on-topic.
Takes @DavidEduardo eight days (yesterday) to see that XEPRS has a fishing show called Let's Hook Up, David has questions about why and how such a show exists, I have some knowledge of such shows and try to be helpful and here we are.
For those worried that during these detours you're missing the original point of the thread---not to worry.
XEPRS is still running Wolfman Jack, who is still dead.
