My New Overnight Show!

12/3/2008 Comment on This

I am very excited to announce that I will be doiing an overnight show starting January 5th from midnight until 4 AM, five days a week, Monday through Friday, on AM 560 WIND.

Chicago is the THIRD largest radio market in the country. At the present time, there is only one other local show on overnight. The radio market in all areas is taking a bath. Syndication is practically a reality on all radio stations all over the country. It's very cost-effective for stations but adds no local flavor to the city. Chicago is a "homer" town. We are too big to care what goes on all over the country. That is why it's so incredible that I have this chance to entertain and inform the 3rd shift.

I have nothing but respect for the truckers, nurses, doormen, convenient store workers, etc. who work that shift. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

That being said, in this economy with people being negative about the sky falling, it goes to show that if you think positive, work hard, and maintain a good work ethic, good things can happen.

The media preaches doom and gloom. This is what sells for some reason. Don't listen to the news or read the papers if you're going to be affected by it. I know what's going on. How can you avoid not knowing? The key is to literally put the horse blinders on and go forward.

The rich get rich because they know that a long-term strategy is the key to life. They believe in family and friends. They realize good and bad is going to happen. The biggest thing they do is stay the course. You must stay the course and not constantly react to every bad thing you hear.

My show is going to be fun and positive. Please tell all of the people you know that they have a friend at night starting January 5th on AM 560 WIND, from midnight until 4 AM. If all goes well, I will be on until 5!!
