FM Talk Radio

[davidtheworm]

Just thinking..pondering...if 990 is on the block....and Dave Ramsey having such a big following here,what if you put him as the big draw on an FM like the buzz,the Max,or power and built around that show with a morning and afternoon local...hummm....what would/could the line-up be?


Local AM Drive(Hey Grayson-here's a format i've never heard you on.I know.you and P.Inman(he's so shy)

Financial Peace w/Dave Ramsey Middays

John 'Bad Dog' McCormack Afternoon Drive

Opinions ?

 

[lurker]

hmmmm.

leave McCormack in am. leave Hart with him or move her to middays, she's underutilized now. Didn't she use to do a PA program?
Ramsey....afternoon drive, with local news and traff updates.
evenings Glenn Beck?, or let Tonya J Powers loose on Memphis.


or:
Rob Grayson/Tonya J - am's
Ramsey - middays or evenings
Bad Dog - afternoons


or:....

absolutely agreed: listen to Ramsey a week and you've got his schtick...BUT... he still mesmerizes the masses.
Prestigiacomo...class act.
so give me McCormack, Grayson, Powers, & Hart too, and we're off to a strong strart for a staff.

I never said I was going to program or was a programmer. I haven’t been active in the business in twenty years. As I said, I was just pondering, maybe so about everything Ramsey has to say in a week but he has a VERY loyal following and I am sure it would be even larger here if he was an a station here again with a stronger signal. He seems to do very well in Nashville on his flagship, Supertalk 99.7 FM.

Why the slam? Is the borrower slave to the lender

Are you leaving McCormack alone? He plays MUCH better off of somebody. You need to put somebody with him to play it fairly straight. He wears them out on the air, and turns all their stuff into funny topics. Remember the phone calls he'd make zapping somebody that was set up by their friends? That was the stuff!

I'll board op for them. I haven't been able to ad-lib for more than 7, 14 or 21 seconds at a time (depending on the intro length) since 1973...
