WECK AM 1230 will expand its lineup of live, local programming in early 2009, owner Culver Communications announced today.
Beginning on Monday, March 2, 2009, talented talk host Brad Riter will debut a new show from 4 to 7p.m. weekdays, replacing the syndicated Bill O'Reilly Show. The new “Brad Riter Show” will be highly interactive, featuring listener call-ins, on-line elements, and conversations with newsmakers from local politics, culture, entertainment and more.
Also, on Monday, January 26, 2009, “Reason with Scott Leffler” will expand from one hour to two hours. The show, which currently airs between 10:00 and 11:00 a.m. weekdays, will add a second hour from 9:00 am to 10:00 am. “Reason” presents a unique take on the politics and people of Western New York, with plenty of humor from Scott's unique perspective.
Culver Communications Operations Manager Tom Schuh said, “We'll miss Bill O'Reilly on the radio. But we're extremely excited that his departure opens up the opportunity for us to present more live, local two-way talk. Brad and Scott have both earned the opportunity for shows in more prominent dayparts. We're glad to reward them, and our listeners, with another step in our development as Western New York's true hometown station.”

Brad,
Heard you talk about this last week and am really looking forward to this. Also your reference to the fact that sports talk radio at your new time slot has been about being talked down to and a great deal of the genius of the guy that you did not used to work with at BEN. Take it from someone who has been following sports since his dad took him to the Ralph when OJ was playing, the town just needs someone who will listen a little, bullshit a little and make the show seem like it is a bunch of guys sitting at the bar at Brennan's or Mother's just getting their sports fix. In my opinion, the average fan is looking to an alternative to the monopoly and always have. The other irony of Schopp is that he is the same person who was on WNSA as "sports talk for smart people" and used to comment how offending it must be for people to be talked down to as Dickerson would. Yet he has gone the absolute other direction. I feel terribly sorry for Bulldog because I listened a ton when you guys did the BEN thing and it was fantastic and down to earth. Keep on keeping on, Brad - I remember one show you had about that asked callers for suggestions on great albums that never got their acclaim and we talked about the great Stevie Ray Vaughan. Good stuff - Stay classy, Brad Diego!!
I think thats a better time slot anyways. So good stuff Brad congrats.
Talented talk show host.
Good luck Brad. New shift should be fun. I'm sure it will be entertaining. Knock 'em dead!
