Industry Mourns Death of “Money Pit” Host Tom Kraeutler (1959-2025).

He had a syndicated call in show on weekends on issues of home improvement with co host Leslie Segrete on over 400 stations. He was a very talented broadcaster. I highly recommend this podcast interview he did where he talks about the history of his show. It aired on saturdays on KXNT in vegas but aired at different times on other stations because the show changed from a live call in show to taking pre recorded calls in recent years. He says in the interview that he was recording shows in May that wouldn't air until June or July.
 
When Salem Media stations wasn't running infommercial for cancer and dabetes "cures" with "free samples, just give us your card number" or PI spots repeating the telephone number six times for sleezy advertisers only consumer protection lawyers ever heard of, they would run this man's program which was excellent!
 
Kraeutler's widow announced today that "The Money Pit" will end at the end of the year. While unsurprising given the circumstances, this is another blow to stations that try to program service talk on the weekend.
