Well, he's a syndicated country music host, and he's finally making it into a top 3 market morning slot. Right here in Chicago. From today's RAMP newsletter...
The syndicated Bobby Bones Show is headed for morning drive in Market No. 3, as iHeartMedia Country WEBG (BIG 95.5)/Chicago moves the Premiere-syndicated show up from overnights to mornings, starting Monday, August 13. "Welcome to BIG 95.5 Mornings, Bobby Bones," said Matt Scarano, President of iHeartMedia's Chicago Region. "We are excited to add the most recognizable name in Country radio to our morning lineup."
PD Lance Houston commented, "The Bobby Bones Show really connects with the core Country audience more than any other show that I have ever seen throughout my career. I am truly confident that Bobby Bones and team will be an entertaining morning show for our one million-plus weekly Country radio audience in Chicagoland, introducing them to popular features like 'Tell Me Something Good' and 'Pimpin' Joy.'"
I have heard good things, and he could do well in Chicago. There's certainly an opening for a show like his. But I still think his induction into the Radio Hall of Fame was premature.
