Andre Eggelletion 7-10pm Mon-Fri. WOL-AM 1450 in the nations capital. www.wolnewsdc.com
He’s an accomplished author, lecturer, master communicator, thinker, entrepreneur, economist, theologian, a great story teller, outdoorsman, singer, guitarist, composer, good looking, and funny as hell. If being “interesting” was an Olympic sport this genius/renaissance man would have all the Gold.
A proven ratings success:
Andre understands how to get ratings. The clever and persistent way he images his stations, and the skillful way he teases the audience across every break, is absolutely masterful. They can’t wait to see what this wile ol’ workaholic lunatic will say next.
500% increase on WSRF 1580AM
500% increase on WTPS 1080AM
700% increase on IRN/EBN
200% increase on WFTL 850AM. On this ultra conservative station, with a point four rating, Andre was doing moderate progressive talk on Sunday’s up against NFL games
He burns up the phones:
Andre gives new meaning to the word “broadcasting” because that’s exactly what he does; casts a broad psychological net serving up commentary with style and a hell of a lot of substance. He has an uncanny appeal to virtually everyone in the 25 plus demographic. Everyone feels invited to the party because, as he puts it, “you opinion is as good as mine… damn near.”
Lee Michaels, former national program director says “the man gets more phone calls than anyone I’ve ever seen. In fact, while filling in for Joe Madison on WOL and XM he got 102 calls on the air from listeners in a 4 hour morning show. He never got under 60 calls per show for the entire week that Joe was away. I think that says it all.”
