Talk Radio Bloopers
MainTour Vacation Adventure Guide

America's Talk Radio Programs feature live, emotional, arrogant and opionated personalities, and don't even get me started on all of the badly distorted "facts" that they quote. It's a perfect recipe for some great blunders.

Bloopers Of The Month

Whose Billboard Is It Anyways?
Late April 2005 / John and Ken Show / KFI-640 Los Angeles / Show Website;
Biggest afternoon drive-time show in L.A., this duo will challenge anyway. In late April, a local Spanish language TV station drew their wrath when they put up billboards claiming that Los Angeles was now part of Mexico. John and Ken went ballistic immediately calling for protests calls to be directed to the owners of those darn billboards. Very shortly their own investivation found out that the billboard owners was the same entity that owned the hosts' own radio station - Clear Channel Network.

Is That a New Gospel Hymn?
April 2005 / Stacy Taylor / KLSD-1360 San Diego / Show Website;
From time to time this liberal morning San Diego talk host will chat with a pastor from a local progressive Christian church (his name escapes me now). But the last time I heard him introduce his friend on the air, the studio engineer has playing music in the background - ACDC's Highway to Hell!


Generic Radio Blunders

What Date is it?
Please check the datestamp at the bottom of the website for your favorite talk-radio show host. How many have their homepage still stuck in last year? Email Me if you find of these and I'll add it to the list.

What Radio Station Do You Work For?
Those "Live In The Sky" helicopter traffic reporters are always messing this up by signing off with the call letters of a competitors radio station. Don't be too harsh on them. Its hard work to keep straight eight traffic reports in a 15-minute span while flying a complicated piece of machinery. (Maybe they should pull over first?)

What Time Is It?
I'm pretty sure that most broadcast facilities have a big digital clock easily visible for the host / news reporter to check. But I still frequently hear them quote the wrong time. How do they doing that?

Which Reporter Is Live?
"For more details we go live to Mr. Street Reporter at the scene". But instead they start running a different tape recording of a different reporting talking about a different story at a different location. And it sounds just like the "live" report from one-hour ago.
