Four Atlanta-based Cumulus radio stations are hoping to raise at least $200,000 today for Children’s Healthcare at Scottish Rite.
Instead of having four stations doing four different broadcasts at once, Q100, Rock 100.5, NewsRadio 106.7 and Kicks 101.5 over 13 hours are doing shows in tandem in the cafeteria of the hospital.
The Bert Show, heard on Q100, opened from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m.. The Rock 100.5 morning show with Jason Bailey and “Southside” Steve Rickman handled the 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. hour. Rod Stadler and Fox 5 11 p.m. host Tom Haynes handled the NewsRadio 106.7 portion. Kicks’ morning show Cadillac Jack and Dallas McCade closed out the day from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.
All went commercial free.
Cadillac, who has three kids, was especially emphatic during his plea for funds, noting that his own daughter was treated for burns at Children’s Healthcare. He also loves that all the donations stay in Atlanta to treat patients at Children’s Healthcare hospitals locally.
Stadler’s debut on NewsRadio 106.7 coincided with the radiothon, which used to be on his previous employer’s station Star 94.
The Bert Show raised about $100,000. The Rock 100.5 show pulled in another $25,000. I didn’t hear how much the other two shows brought in but it seems fair to say they broke $200,000. (Cadillac noted that Kicks sponsor Carl Black gave $40,000 alone and while he doesn’t know the final total from his four hours, he is confident Kicks listeners gave the most.)
As of 1 p.m., the radiothon has already raised more money than Star 94 alone did last year, when it pulled in $85,000 and the four station combo easily beat Star’s $147,000 in 2013.
NewsRadio simulcast the shows from the other stations on 106.7 throughout the day. So Michael Graham and the Kimmer got the day off.
