Next week just got even more interesting

 

 

As if a new show on a newly rebranded station is not exciting enough, I’m pleased to reveal that our time together will involve a little more than 7-10 a.m. locally on the new 660 AM The Answer (KSKY) in Dallas-Ft. Worth.

On Fridays starting next week, I will begin my day a little earlier, filling the Bill Bennett Morning in America time period 5 to 8 am Central on the Salem Radio Network.  At eight, I will scurry from the second-floor network studios to my usual first-floor location for two local hours.  

(If all of this works out well, maybe I can get them to spring for some kind of Batcave pole to slide down).

After listening to the thoughtful, provocative show Bill has done for eight years, it is a great honor to fill the Friday slot which has been filled by a variety of hosts over the years, including Rick Santorum, former RNC Chair Michael Steele, and most recently Bill’s talented colleague and former producer Seth Leibsohn.

They have all done a great job.  I hope to bring whatever gifts I have into that time slot and take the nation into the weekend with the best I can offer.

I spoke to Bill today, and to his producer Chris Beach and to Operations Director Claude Jennings.  All were more than gracious, and enthused to begin a new relationship.  My gratitude cup has been overflowing for a while now, and more just poured out.

As we head into the weekend, I am poised and ready to spring into action 7 am Monday on the new AM 660 The Answer (KSKY) for everyone in my Dallas-Ft. Worth listener family.  Now I have 5 am CT Fridays to look forward to, and I hope you look forward to it as well.

I have never been more mindful of the blessings from God that I do not deserve, and the blessings of support from the public that I will do my utmost to deserve in every way.

Have a great weekend, everybody, I may weigh in over the weekend with some thoughts about where we’ve been and where we’re going.

Wherever you’re going, be safe, be thankful and be mindful of how lucky we all are as Americans.

Talk to you Monday morning!

So pleased that you will be back, and even more pleased that you will fill my entire drive rather than just the 8:30-9:00 part! You have been one of my main news sources over the years, and I have missed you.

Mark, I listened to you on 'Day 1' of your debut in this market. Now, I look forward to listening to 'Day 1' of your "second coming" in DFW!
As you count down the hours, waiting to charge out of the gate, I'll bet that adrenaline's flowing like it hasn't in a long time - in a GOOD way!

[Sandy]

Bill's audience will love you. What a great turn of events.

Congratulations from your Pa. correspondent, Mark. It appears that you not only have landed on your feet, but are equipped with sprinter's shoes. Take care.

[Andrea Winters]

So excited to hear you again on the radio! God bless !

[Kent]

I wonder what Mike Gallager thinks, and what he will do. Also, what does Bill think about not being heard in Dallas from 7:00 to 8:00?

[Kent]

To be more clear on my own position, I am looking forward to hearing Mark on the drive in. I wish I also had a sane, local talk radio host to listen on the way home.

Lately, Mike G. has been plenty sane, but I would not say local.

[Maggie Wright]

We've missed you!! God bless!!

Bill Bennett's audience will be as delighted as we are here in the DFW area. You offer a delightful mix of seriousness and wit. There is also a respect
for the audience on the Bennett show and you have shown that respect on your show too. You've shown that respect while maintaining the integrity of your beliefs. Like I said before, you can (and did) go national any time.

[BJS]

But I wouldn't want to give up our fantastic local show, so don't go too national!! ha ha

[Bryan Wicks]

The good news - it just doesn't seem to stop!

From a freeze out famine to a feast filled Friday in a matter of weeks.. how fabulous is that?

Best of luck in your new launch on Monday. Of course I will be listening in with great interest! :)

@Kent... You have someone sane on KSKY to listen to on the way home. The Wells Report is on from 5-8!

[Michael Smith]

Way cool Mark. I am so glad this was a short lived divorce. Since march 30 my radio has been set to KSKY, so I will be there ready to go at 655am

[JHN]

Not a word yet on KSKY.com about Mark's debut or the name change to "The Answer". Still showing the old schedule. Seems like Mark and Ms. Cloud have done the lion's share of the promotion.

[Brent]

@JHN- The new site is http://www.660amtheanswer.com/ and does have a Mark page all ready to go- even a podcast section. I'm so excited!

[TommyElf]

Thank the G-ds above!! Sitting here listening to you on KSKY...its soooooo good to have you back on my morning radio waves!!

[DreamKiller]

Glad your back Mark! One question, will you still be able to fill in for Rush under your new contract since he is on a rival station now? Hope you still can.

[Gary Harvey]

Just got the news Monday you now have a place at KSKY. I will be a new listener to that station because YOU were the main draw for me at WBAP. So glad you are back on the air. God bless you as you settle in.

[Jack Bing]

I FEEL GOOD!

[Carolyn Peet]

So what time do I have to get up on Fridays to find out that it is, indeed, Friday, and that I feel good????

Remarkable! Your clarity on this subject supersedes what I have read so far on the internet. I liked your article also because it is precise, simple and informative.Thumbs Up...
