Allen Hunt

Allen Hunt will soon be the hardest working man in talk radio.  The minister-turned-faith-and-values-talker will debut a weeknight show later this year while continuing his Saturday and Sunday evening programs.

A source at the Allen Hunt Show confirms the weeknight show will air 9pm – midnight with a start-date sometime before the beginning of the Fall ratings period.  Hunt and his staff have been on the road talking-up the new project, which they position as an alternative to the sometimes harsh Mark Levin and Michael Savage, or delayed broadcasts of other hard-politics daytime shows.

To get a good sense of  Hunt’s substance and style, listen to his segment on Christians and torture.  To get sense of the passion he stirs, check this, ummm, fan site.

This is a bold move for the  Atlanta-based, self-syndicated Hunt.  Nights are a rough slot marked by small audiences, limited revenue and lots of sports preemptions.  (And how long before stations with decent signals  start brokering nights?) But in all likelihood, the determined and radio-savvy Hunt team views the nighttime offering as a foot in the door – one that will eventually lead to your mid-morning slot.
