If you’ve tuned-in to KTAR-FM tonight for Phil Hendrie, chances are you made an additional glance at where your radio’s dial is. Starting today, Dave Ramsey is now in-place for KTAR-FM’s evening time slot.

Rather than the news, talk, and comedy mix of Hendrie’s show, the topic of money will broadcast instead.

The move comes five days after the All Access story of Phil Hendrie bringing back his large cast of characters.

“Live” seems to be a luxury of radio these days, quickly becoming more and more of a rarity.

Norm Seeley (of KRUX and KOOL) has posted a blog this morning reflecting on live radio and providing us an audio clip eight minutes in length of a CBS broadcast aired on KOOL-AM, December 1, 1967. Lowell Thomas gave the news. Norm ran the network program from the studio.

It’s the magic of live radio — don’t miss all eight minutes!

KMLE’s Gwen Foster (middays) and Jeff West (afternoons) are no longer a part of Camel Country, leaving the Tim and Willy morning show as the only local talent. Jeff West had taken the afternoon slot after KMLE fired 20-year station veteran Big Shoe Stu in December 2008. The reason given for all of the above are the same: “budget cuts.”
