Bob Brinker Moneytalk on KABC?

[wejomerv]

I am unclear what the status of Moneytalk with Bob Brinker is on KABC. The KABC webpage says his show is on from 1-4 on Saturday and Sundays. However, when I try to listen to his show on Saturday or a Sunday during those time periods there is some other show on KABC.

The third hour of his show is the best because he gets high level people to come on his show. When he has a good guest (and he gets some of the best financial people out there), his show offers something few radio shows provide - a guest a good amount of time to explain his ideas without relying on quick sound bites.

Station phone number: 310-840-4900. If the person answering the phone can't help you, ask for KABC programming.

Such as Dr. Bill Wattenburg from KGO.
Or, energy analysts Charlie Maxwell and Richard Heinberg.
I believe the contract w/ Brinker/Citadel says any preempted hours for sports have to be played back later, but I'm not sure.
KGO has played Brinker in the evenings after Cal sports.
KFBK has Brinker during skywave hrs of 7p-10p, I think ?

In my opinion KABC really screwed this up. Bob was the only one on the weekends that was listenable. Everyone else was a joke and many of them were paid commercials anyways, so it was really refreshing to have a 'real' show on. But then they shortened his show by an hour so they could put some infomercial on and then it seemed like he disappeared altogether even when the Dodger games were not on. Sure the schedule shows that he is relegated to overnights but I doubt if any of his listeners are catching that show - I know I certainly am not.

I only hope once the Dodger season is over they can return his show to it's full glory at 1:00pm on weekends.

In an effort to survive financially, radio is assuring its ultimate demise. It's a real shame. If you're willing to pop for $4.95 a month, Bob Brinker's excellent show is available on-demand online at your convenience.

IMHO, an even better program is available online at ZERO cost - the Financial Sense Newshour. Actually, it's more like 3 or 4 hours long each weekend. You can listen on-demand or on your mp3 player. It features excellent guests, recorded listener questions, no commercials and several years of archives. Host Jim Puplava used to be on San Diego radio and TV, but got fed up with the limitations. Now his weekly audience numbers in the hundreds of thousands worldwide.

Increasingly, I'm afraid the good stuff is best found online - at our convenience. Start, stop, pause, rewind, re-listen.

Thanks VSA. I have been listening to the Money Talk on demand for the past few weeks and it is great to not have commercials. Money Talk would be much better program with more guests and fewer callers asking if they should refinance their mortgage or about GNMA funds. That gets far too repetitive.

I'll have to give the financial sense podcast a try. Thanks for the tip.

With an internet connection, you can hear Bob Brinker live on WLS streaming. I can hear it on my Iphone with the free "tunin.fm.icar radio lite" program tuned into WLS.
