MEMPHIS (April 28)—For the first time in its 19-year history
of being the only live casino gaming format radio show in the Mid-South, the
GoodTimes Radio Show will now be broadcast on prime drive-time radio on Classic
Country 1180 AM KXIQ Classic Country, a station in the market owned by Pollock
Broadcasting. In addition, it will also be simulcast on KMIS AM/FM in markets
north of Memphis.
Hosted by Rudi and Mike Schiffer, the show will expand to
two-and-half hours on Friday afternoons from 3 to 5:30 p.m. and be rebroadcast
later. Formerly on 730Yahoo Sports, the change was made to take advantage of
the opportunity to be on drive time, not only in Memphis, but also in adjoining
markets, thus increasing its audience and reach with a clearer daytime signal
from 5,000 watts of power offered by 1180 KXIQ.
“The show will increase its reach in the Mid-South and will
also be broadcast on our sister stations, KMIS AM/FM, serving the Missouri
Bootheel, Northeast Arkansas, Northwest Tennessee, Southwest Illinois and parts
of Western Kentucky,“ said owner Bill Pollack. “Over 1.1 million people live in
the area covered by our three stations.”
The first show will be aired Friday, May 4 beginning at 3
p.m. and will include a half hour segment with John Robison, expert slot play writer, gaming,
promotion, strategy and entertainment, live interviews with other gaming
experts and casino executives for Mississippi casinos and Southland Park in
West Memphis, Ark. The show is noted for its giveaway trivia prizes supplied by
sponsors including overnight stays, free play, dinners and buffets.
The Goodtimes
Show joins another newcomer to 1180 AM, which is now the exclusive Mid-South
affiliate for the Motor Racing Network. The Goodtimes show is currently
sponsored by Sam’s Town Hotel & Gambling Hall, Fitzgeralds Casino &
Hotel, Goldstrike Casino Resort in Tunica, and Pearl River Resort in Choctaw,
Miss., as well as Southland Gaming & Racing in West Memphis, Ark.
