Citadel Brings Back “Red Eye Radio”
WABC/New York and KABC/Los Angeles will both debut Doug McIntyre’s Red Eye Radio on Monday, February 8th. Billed as “the newest evolution in overnight Talk radio,” Citadel Media will syndicate the program and says a number of additional major market affiliates will be announced shortly. McIntyre (pictured) pioneered Red Eye Radio on KABC before moving to morning drive on the SoCal News/Talker. Late last year, he exited wake-ups at KABC and hinted at the time that a return of his nightly 1-5am (ET) program could be in the wings. WABC Program Director Laurie Cantillo calls the new all-night show “a refreshing live alternative to traditional overnight fare which is canned, conspiratorial, and just plain dull,” while KABC PD David G. Hall calls it, “A fabulous program and a terrific alternative to UFO and ghost shows.”
