RADIO ONLINE | , , | :am CT

The Tom Kent Radio Network is launching two new programs on March 15 with syndication partner Citadel Media. The shows will target the lunch hour and afternoon drive and will be hosted by Tom Kent. The afternoon program will be available for all contemporary music formats using its CLASS system to enhance localization to stations.

Kent's new lunchtime show, Your Request Show Live, is unique as it claims to drive "appointment listening" for listener requests, while presenting the opportunity for Kent to answer local station phone calls. Initial stations carrying the lunchtime show include WKQK-FM/Memphis, WOLX-FM/Madison and WBPC-FM/Panama City, FL.

"Every show we produce shares a common goal -- provide the listener with the music they love and want to hear in a fun, approachable way that keeps them coming back," said Kent. "These two new products offer unparalleled customized content making each broadcast unique to the station airing it. It truly is the station's own show and its own music and it will work across a wide array of formats."

Tom's "CLASS system is a truly unique approach," said Citadel Media Senior VP/Programming and Distribution Carl Anderson. "These two new afternoon programs allow tremendous flexibility for affiliates and will serve as perfect complements to his full slate of offerings."
