Big News! “In Wheel Time” Moving to New Radio Station and New Time!

Published February 16, 2012 | By In Wheel Time Pit Crew

Popular Houston radio car show has a new radio station home and air time, 10a-12noon (CST).


HOUSTON, Tex. (Feb. 13, 2012) — “In Wheel Time” is pleased to announce we are moving our popular radio automotive show to 1560/The Game, a SportsTalk radio station in Houston, Texas. The first broadcast from 1560/The Game will be at our new airtime, 10:00 am - 1:00 pm (CST.)

As you know, we are always looking for ways to improve “In Wheel Time” for both our listeners and sponsors. Moving “In Wheel Time” to 1560/The Game will reap immediate rewards for both listeners and sponsors:

* Broadcast moves to

a better, “listener-friendly” time slot of 10am-1pm (CST) on Saturday mornings. 

* 1560/The Game has a 50,000 watt signal, the biggest signal the FCC will give to an AM radio station. This means no “dead zones” in the coverage area. “In Wheel Time” will now be clearly heard from Conroe to Beaumont and Galveston to Sealy.

* 1560/The Game is the flagship station for the Yahoo Sports Radio Network. This presents the possibility that, with the support of our sponsors, “In Wheel Time” could soon be heard on an additional 150 to 200 radio stations around the country on the Yahoo Sports Radio Network! Syndicated broadcasts will be heard Saturday mornings, 10am - 1pm (CST.)

* Moving “In Wheel Time” to a Sports Radio station makes perfect sense, given the synergy of both programming and target demographic groups. It immediately opens up more opportunities for Don and Mike to do live broadcast events at local dealerships, automotive events, car club gatherings and interact with the Houston automotive community in a number of new and different ways.

* The 1560 Sales Staff has embraced the show and already have Don and Mike scheduled for two live appearances at local dealerships!

* In conjunction with our move to 1560/The Game, ”In Wheel Time” is announcing two new features: The IWT University; and The 1560/In Wheel Time Car Club:

  • IWT University is a two-hour automotive maintenance workshop led by co-host, Mike Herzing. The workshop targets Teen and female drivers and anyone else who wants to learn more about the proper maintenance of a vehicle. Workshops will be held at local dealerships and automotive events.
  • More details about the 1560/”In Wheel Time” Car Club will be announced in about 2-4 weeks.

Please tell your friends, your neighbors and everybody else you know!  Then tune in to help us celebrate this exciting time in the life of “In Wheel Time!”

Crank Up the Car Shows
Houston Area Car Shows
2012

The 2012 Houston area car show season is underway.  The month of March in Texas can be an "iffy" time of year when it comes to weather, but the first weekend of March 2012 was PREFECT!

The Austin County Cruisers held their 9th Annual Classic Car Stampede on Saturday, March 3rd in Bellville, Texas.  Down-the-road-apiece, the Niftee 50ee's kicked off their show season at the Lonestar Raceway with the 2nd A
nnual "Meet the Legends" nostalgia drags in Sealy, Texas.  Motorist's on the Texas roadways must have felt like they were thrown back in time about 30 or 40 years as there were hundreds, if not thousands of Hot Rods, classics, antiques and muscle cars blanketing the area.

Check the events calendar on this website or click the Facebook button at the top of this page.  No doubt, there is a sho
w near you just about every weekend.

This letter was sent to the HFD Street Machines on January 27, 2012.  I thought I would share it with all of you. 


Russell,

 

Thank you so much for your generous support of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.  The 2011 HFD Street Machines event was a great success to your organization and the donation of the money raised, $3,963.00, made a great impact on the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.  We are privileged that you selected our foundation to benefit.  I know Nathan Lilley and his family were very honored as well to have your support.  The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is making huge advances in the fight to cure CF and it would not be possible without generous donors such as yourself.

Last February, results from a Phase 3 Clinical Trial of the drug VX-770, an oral medicine that targets the defective protein that causes CF, showed incredibly promising results.  This drug affects those patients carrying the G551D mutation which accounts for about four percent of CF patients.  The drug is now awaiting approval from the FDA.  In addition to helping patients with the G551D mutation, it also offers significant hope that a similar approach to treatment may help the majority of patients living with CF.  This news has given us all hope that a cure or control for CF is within our grasp.

 

We sincerely appreciate your generous support as we continue to add more tomorrows for those with CF.  

 

Kindest regards,

 

Hilary

I was speechless after watching this video.  A very close friend of mine was killed by a drunk driver during our senior year of high school.



Please don't drive drunk.
