The conservative radio talk show "Lets talk Frank" abruptly ended yesterday after a multi year run. It came as a big surprise to all including the hosts of the show, Lee and Terry Frank.
The station that aired the show (AM 850 on the Horne radio network) was in the process of being sold and closing date is planned for today. Friday when the hosts of the show walked into the studio they were greeted with a note that informed them that their rate for air time was doubling starting Monday.
The show had long been a mostly self funded labor of love for hosts Lee and Terry Frank. Being full time business owners of Natures Marketplace in Oak Ridge their time to go out and sell advertising was limited. Ironically, just the day before, they had been cutting new advertising spots for multiple advertisers who had contacted them.
They did it just to give a voice to conservatives in East Tennessee. Their results were immediate and large. They were one of the original bell ringers for the Tea Party movement in Knoxville (a huge success), They gave a voice of descent to opposition movements large and small as well as championing conservative issues, causes and leaders throughout the state and the nation. Their guests were everyone from national economists, writers, presidential candidates and even some lowly state reps were welcome on the show. Their callers were some of the best on the air.
So the page is turned.
When God closes a door he opens a window. I am sure this will allow Terry to do more blogging than she has of late and multiple callers on the final show were pleading for one of them to run for office.
Could it happen?
Stay tuned.......
