Too bad. I think you were holding up the Track.
 
Dang, Tom, that really sucks...you used to do traffic when I was at WCBK in Martinsville back in the late 90's. It's a tough biz as you well know, hang in there bro. You're in my prayers. You're a talented jock, you'll land on your feet.
 
Congrats! That's awesome. My fav radio station is getting a great DJ. Was sorry to see you let go from The Track. I stopped listening to them a long time ago with the format changes and now that God-awful computer voice after every song. Corporate radio at it's best. ::) Big Daddy Russ is fine-tuning an already great station by adding you. :)
 
Excellent news, Tom. 101.9 is sounding better every day and am looking forward to hearing you on the air once again.
 
I thought I'd bring this thread full circle with this entry from my blog:

Please excuse the blatant self promotion, but isn't that what a blog is for?

(FYI: I wrote this, my first press release)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Indianapolis Radio/TV Personality returns to host "All Request Summer Nights-The Greatest Hits of All Time by Request" on WKLU-FM, Oldies 101.9.

Indianapolis, Indiana - May 18, 2009 -Indianapolis Radio/TV personality Tom Berg returns to host a live, local radio show on Oldies 101.9 beginning June 1st.

Berg will host "All Request Summer Nights" weeknights from 7pm until midnight.

The show will be the only live night time radio show in Indianapolis. Other radio stations either run pre-recorded, or syndicated shows after 7pm.

Mr. Berg feels that summer-time is the best time to launch a show like this.

"The sun will be up later, people will be out later and there should be someone live on the radio to be there for you." Berg continued, "Go ahead and try to call other radio stations to make a request after 7pm, you'll get a busy signal, if you get through at all. I'll be here every weeknight live from 7pm until midnight."

Berg is an Indianapolis radio/tv veteran, having worked as a TV traffic reporter for WRTV-6. He has spent over a decade working in Indianapolis media.

"The show will be a night-time party on the radio," says Mr. Berg."All request means ALL REQUEST."

(press release over)

OK now it's just us right?

I am SO excited about this opportunity.

Not just because it's a job, but because I think it's an opportunity to have some night time fun on the radio.

No man-bashing, no alien hunting, no relationship advice, just great tunes!

We will also be cranking up the listener interactivity. If you are reading this, I'll be expecting your phone call.

849-1019, learn it, love it. I'll want to hear from you all summer long.

Going to a concert? Call...
Having a barbecue? Call...
Got a request? CALL...

Listener interactivity will be KEY to the shows success. Don't let me down.

We'll scrounge up topics, and re-curring bits to make the nights a lot more fun.

I'll even take your call if you work for other radio stations in town, even YOU Smiley!

Wish me luck!
 
Sounds like a return to Fun Radio....BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Congrats Tom. Don't know you, probably never heard you but I'm glad to hear SOMEBODY is willing to do it live and local. My best wishes for you. Go get 'em Killer!
 
Just a couple of questions.

How long will the show air? Until Labor Day?

And what is KLU doing now from 7 to midnight?
 
Great news Tom. Glad to see another of our WCBK alumni doing well. Sounds like things are going your way. Now if only they would open a Sgt. Peppers Chicken near the studio.
 
OMG Scott. It's bad enough that there is just about every other eaterie in town within a stones throw of the studio. Five Guys at 82nd and Allisonville is my current addiction!!!!

Thanks for all the well wishes, and yes the show will continue past August with a new title.

If you guys want to call in to participate, please do. It'll be tough getting things going the first few days with listener interactivity, so bring it on!
