WISN RADIO (AM 1130) DEBUTS NEW MORNING SHOW ON OCTOBER 10, 2005
The WISN Morning Buzz to feature talk radio veteran and €śTalkstar€ť winner
as co-hosts
Milwaukee - Irreverent. Edgy. Opinionated. Perfect words to describe
the new morning drive program set to debut on News-Talk 1130 WISN.
The WISN Morning Buzz will be unveiled on Monday October 10, 2005. The
style of the show will be an on-air magazine, with the program being
offered weekdays from 5:30am-8:30am.
The initial €śbuzz€ť surrounding The Buzz will no doubt center on the
debut of Nicole Devin as the co-host of a regularly scheduled talk
show. Devin was the winner of the contentious andclosely-tracked €śMilwaukee Talk
Star€ť competition conducted this past summer.
Devin'€™s co-host on The Buzz will be radio veteran Dan Deibert, who has
been hosting WISN'™s morning drive program while €śTalk Star€ť was being
executed. In addition to his time behind the mic at WISN, Deibert has
hosted talk shows in other Wisconsin radio markets.
The WISN Morning Buzz will go well beyond a mere opinion-based talk
show. The pace will be robust, with the spotlight shining on guest
interviews, caller-interactive topics, and recurring special
features as well as information elements such as news, weather, sports,
and traffic. All show elements will be executed with a bold and
aggressive tone.
