Connections is Movin ' on Up!...
“ When we started the show last year, we had no idea how fast the show would grow,” says host Blackjack.“ I really believe we are at the right place at the right time, with a show that people can really relate to, and one that makes them laugh and feel good.”
It’ s been a very good year for this Orlando-based radio show and associated iTunes podcast. The show also streams live video each night on the Connections Facebook page( facebook. com / connectionsshow) and recently celebrated reaching a significant milestone of reaching one million Facebook users in 90 days. Connections( www. ConnectionsShow. com) is a wildly popular nightly lifestyle and relationships talk radio show with a twist! Airing nightly at 10 p. m. on Real Radio 104.1 in Orlando and syndicating on iHeart Radio and CRN, Connections features longtime radio personalities Al Blackjack Spry, PS Pete, Melissa Foxx and rock and radio star Linda Nuñez. It’ s a winning team that has built a passionately loyal fan base in Central Florida and beyond. In no time at all the show is in 166 countries and heard by upwards of 2 million listeners a month. It’ s incredible growth by any measure.
This is the Connections experience. This talk show is all about connecting on an intimate level with its listeners five nights a week. There’ s something very special about this show. You can feel it as soon as you hear it. The most striking thing you notice is that it’ s not about politics.“ We don’ t do politics unless it’ s funny,” added host Melissa Foxx.“ If a politician is caught with his pants down, we’ ll talk about it. Otherwise we leave the politics to other shows.” Connections considers itself a two-hour island of
fun. Like Jimmy Buffett’ s Margaritaville, it’ s an island oasis in an increasingly unstable world, one where you can kick back, feel special, and let your hair down.
Each Connections show tackles a lifestyle or relationship topic relevant to people interested in improving themselves, dealing with the ups and downs of life, family and friend relationships, and those interested in spicing up their romantic relationships. The team, along with special guest hosts, share stories and connect the topics with comedy and fun to current events in entertainment, culture and sports. Connections also features Interesting and fun guests like musician Steve March-Torme and The Trees of Life, along with comedians like Dante from Last Comic Standing. Call-ins from people all around the world, looking for relationship advice is another cool, fun thing that makes Connections different and successful.“ It’ s a winning format,” says famed radio consultant Walter Sabo, adding,“ This show allows your business to tap into the money that goes from P & G, Colgate and McDonalds to daytime TV Talk shows. Connections covers the identical topics. It’ s a 10 share show made by proven radio talent, not amateurs.”
Connections is definitely moving on up and is very excited to now be partnering with and welcoming to the show Miss Success herself, Jennifer Yon, who will be featured every third Thursday in her segment,“ Thriving Thursdays with Ms. Success”.“ We like to take the show into different areas, and since business is a part of life, whether you work for one or own one,” says Blackjack,“ and we thought it would be a great idea to have Jennifer
