WANTED: PHX TALK ANCHOR NEEDED

D

Dr. o Fun

Wanted: A seasoned broadcast professional to anchor an upbeat, fun (yet, serious news-type topic) one-hour daily (noon-1 PST) talk show originating from the greater Phoenix area to be broadcast in Los Angeles, CA.

Your cohost will carry most of the show's content. Thus, the main anchor duties include:
  • creating smooth transitions into and out of commercial breaks,
  • show branding before and after each listener phone call,
  • assist in interviews,
  • etc.
Interested parties can message me privately through this forum.

How about...?

Scott Conner (well maybe not)
Joe Crummey (oh wait, he is in El Lay)
Preston Westmoreland (loved by Aunt Edna)
Dr. Akbar (with or without Jeff)
some annoying poster who calls himself oldiesfan6479 ;)

Or how about the EVOO Radio Network guy? He doesn't
go on here until 3:00--although that may be a 2:00 start
later in the year which would be 1:00 PT in the winter.
But maybe he could do it from his program originiation
location which might solve your rent-a-studio problem.
Paging Scott Anderson...
 
There's always me... I work cheap :)

It's too bad John Dayl is no longer with us... God I miss that crazy old man.
 
Please contact me re your opening. I'm available and interested with 28 years experience in markets such as Buffalo NY and Raleigh NC . Thanks Andy Thomas
 
Ok, from what I've heard, this is the real deal. They're originating a noon hour "lifestyle" show from the Phoenix area to be broadcast on the mighty KLAA from Los Angeles.

Obviousy, they've gotten a huge response from the Phoenix Market, and from what I hear that includes TWO former KTAR morning hosts, a current KTAR host, a KFYI part time host and several KTAR, KFYI and Valley Metro news and traffic reporters. Also, in the running is a long time Phoenix rock jock and a few Zone refugees.

Should be interesting to see what kind of Phoenix "lifestyle" show the residents of LA would tune into.
 
My guess:

Tim and Willy

Chuck Powell

Pat McMahon

Jim Sharpe

I'm a native, and I have zero radio experience, I'm more qualified and I'm non-union.

I'll do the show from exotic locations, like people's houses, in fact, I'll break in and do the show when they are on vacation. I'll take controversial stands, like building a feed lot and a slaughterhouse in Gainey Ranch. I will invite several prominent Arizona leaders on my show, and force them to talk about mollusks, bivalves and arthopods. I will encourage letter writing campaigns for non-sensical things, like outlawing the plastic bit on the ends of shoelaces, and to add 3 extra wheels to our shopping carts, you know, for the children.

I will do entire shows in Serbian, I don't know the language, but I will look up every word in a dictionary as I am saying it. I will hand out washers and nuts and bits of PVC pipe when I do remotes. I will have public interest stories, including a 43 part serial chronicling the life of Herbert Khaury, AKA Tiny Tim.

I will do remote broadcasts from Malta, Andorra, Lethsoto and Cleator, AZ.

I will encourage my listeners to not listen, and to make it easier, I will broadcast high pitched noises every five minutes, followed by the sound of my teeth grinding.

Give me a chance, I can't be any worse than Scott Connor, Mike Broomhead, or Mac/Gaydos/Carlos.

(every Friday's show will have Jim Sharpe on, doing shots of Ouzo till he passes out)
 
I'm bustin' a foie gras stuffed gut, LC. You should be the Valley's radio columnist. You need to write.

Re: Phoenix based Los Angeles anchor, my money's on McMahon, Sharpe, or the dark horse "longtime Phoenix rock jock". Whooze dat, J. David Holmes? Mayfield? Bill Gardener?
 
Hey Sam whadda ya say we do our own show? "The 2 producers - The stories from behind the glass" ;)

I second the notion of Mike Lee.. Great personality, highly experienced, & all around good guy.
 
I bet there is even some Hollywood talent in the search, either way from what I heard this deal could be a hit. Good luck.

Legend, I am sure you could get through an interview without saying, "yea, yea, yea" or "uh huh, uh huh" fewer times than Mike Broomhead, you should apply!
 
I have a special christmas show planned where we do a live remote from a pre-school and I do a powerpoint presentation which proves that there is no Santa Claus.

We will also do pledge drives for a charity that needs it, but keep the money to ourselves and blow it on cheap beer and even cheaper women.

I will do a show from the border where we will protest about keeping Finnish people out of this country.

I will do live remotes from outside theaters that play god-awful chick flicks and offer safe harbour to men on dates to come and smoke cigars, drink beer and scratch themselves, while they are ostensibly "in the bathroom"

We will protest outside of notable Valley companies about their lack of signage in Esperanto. And demand that they employ fiddlers.
