Moby must be amused by the fact Kicks has now gone through two morning shows and is seeking a third since they dumped him in 2002. Here's the press release:
"Moby in the Morning's Biggest Small Town in America” network proudly joins forces with Bob Raleigh & Raleigh Media Group to create a syndicated country morning powerhouse.
RMG will program and handle operations for the syndicated “Moby In The Morning” show as well as develop future programming and syndication for network.
Atlanta, GA, Monday, April 17, 2006: Full service consulting and radio support services firm Raleigh Media Group announces a deal in which the company will now oversee the programming and operations of the syndicated Country “Moby In The Morning” show. The show, currently syndicated in 10 markets, is hosted by ACM award winning and CMA nominated personality Moby who spent 11 years as the highly rated morning show for WKHX/Atlanta. ABC also syndicated his Atlanta show for 5 of those years. “We are absolutely thrilled to be working with one of the most compelling morning shows in the country,” RMG Founder Bob Raleigh said. “Our company is honored and excited to be associated with Moby. His talent for connecting with listeners is unparalleled. To quote one of our affiliates: Moby has the best eye contact of anyone in radio!”. Raleigh went on to say “Not only will we grow the show with it’s current listeners but we plan on growing the affiliate base as well. This show speaks to the heart of America and Country audiences like no other.”
In addition to the “Moby In The Morning” show, there are plans underway to soon offer other daypart programming on the network as well. “We hope to have other shows on the air in the very near future” said Raleigh and Moby in a joint statement.
Prior to forming Raleigh Media Group, Bob Raleigh was PD for the Jones Radio syndicated “Lia Show” and “Bill Cody Classic Country Weekend”. Before joining Jones, Raleigh was Corporate Director of Country Programming for Cumulus Media.
