"Trucker's Radio Program"
 

Hi,

I'm located in Toronto, Canada so hearing far off AM skip is pretty common
during the right season. This may sound stupid, but while listening to my
*new* radio a while ago, I managed to receive a radio program that discussed
the "life and times" of driving the Big Rigs. It was really interesting and
was not a 'special program' as there were numerous "bumpers" for upcoming
shows. Two questions:

Has anyone heard this radio show? If so, a freq. would be most appreciated
as I cannot remember if it was SW or long-range AM and a skip phenom. I know
for certain is was based in America and it was from the South as the accents
were Southern US. Other than that, I can't recall any more info.

The reason I didn't note the freq was I had just purchased my new Sony SWR -
I was receving so many cool, and unheard to me, broadcasts, I was a little
distracted from jotting the numbers down.

Anyone ever heard this show before?
Thanks
Mike

Just taking a shot, but it could be part of the "Truckin' Bozo" show,
heard far and wide in the U.S.

Since you're in Toronto, I'm wondering if you might have heard it
after midnight on WLW (700 AM) in Cincinnati.

If you like trucking radio, there's also the Midnight Trucking Network. You
should have no problem getting it on WJR after 1:06 AM ET.

'Truckin Bozo' heard here at 0715 on 700 WLW. An interesting show to listen to
at times in the wee hours of the morning.

Yes, it was after midnight - however I wasn't certain it was at 7am. (As
previously posted) I seem to recall catching a portion of it in the middle
of the night. In any case, thanks for the help - at least I know what the
damn show is called! I'm not a trucker, but hearing a lively broadcast,
Sunday when I couldn't sleep was pretty cool. I frequently used to listen to
Indians baseball games on WWWE 1100 - so Cinci is a possibility. If it's
syndicated, perhaps I listened to a closer station.

Thanks for the addtional info - you guys is great!
Mike
