We’re under way! Week #1 of the new Morning Show, has been quite the adjustment. It all goes so quickly. Hard to recall all that happens between 5-10am. The response has been really fun to hear. Lots of people excited about what’s coming. We’re pretty stoked to get all the calls & e-mails. So, thank you for everything so far.

At some point, we’ll have enough audio to post up here. It’s only been a few shows so far. Thanks for being patient. I’d rather we *not* post anything, than post something half-assed. Y’know?

In the meantime, you can see our show page at KSLX.com now. We have that going. And, follow the show on Twitter. We got that working too!

Thanks again for all of the support. It means a ton.

I have NEWS!!!!

The only constant in the world, is change. I’ve had quite an eventful past 6 months to be sure. It hasn’t stopped. The corporate owners of KSLX, Hubbard Broadcasting (who also owned the former KDKB), have been amazingly good to me. Within three weeks of letting me go from my former station after the format change, they brought me back to do nights at Phoenix Classic Rock Station.

Needless to say, I am humbled and appreciative for all they’ve done.  Imagine my surprise, when they came to me and asked if I’d be interested in co-hosting Mornings on KSLX. It took about 4 seconds (and 15 pages of lawyer nonsense), for me to say “yes.”

And so…beginning 3/16, I’ll be waking up at 3am weekdays, braving the empty roads of Phoenix, Arizona, and waking up the Valley Of The Sun, on 100.7 KSLX. I’m being joined by a market veteran, named Mark Devine. Phoenix radio listeners will remember him as “Mark Derringer,” from the market-leading morning show “Tim & Mark,” on the old KDKB. He’s a great guy, and I’m sure we’re going to have a blast. Even if our pairing is tantamount to “radio date-rape.”

…seriously, we’ve met *four times*

It’s a ballsy move by Hubbard. We’re both stoked that they believe in our combined market performance, and “talents” to trust their 100,000 watt Classic Rocker to us to start the day. Should be a lot of fun…and a massive train-wreck. Good times!!

So, there it is. Another surprising twist in the tragic comedy that is my life. Hope you’ll take some time to hang with us each morning. As usual, I will post the silliness here as often as possible, and will make sure you have links to the official station show pages., and social media contacts.

In the meantime, starting at 5:30am, March 16th (Wolfgang Van Halen’s Birthday #VanHalenNerd)…You can hit that link in the upper corner of the page to listen live!

As always…Thanks for hitting the site & the e-mails!

Like many, my 2014 was an up n’ down affair. One of the greatest experiences of my professional career came to an abrupt end.

I could’ve been angry, or depressed.

Truth be told, I was both.

Thankfully, your support helped me weather the experience. And…a solid belief in myself, combined with a gracious offer from the parent company of my former station (Hubbard Broadcasting), put me back behind a microphone for 2015.

I’m thankful for all that’s happened. Both good, and bad. Lessons learned.

I wish you a Happy, Prosperous Year. May it be filled with the kind of nonsense, that makes life fun, and void of all other nonsense.

Thanks for visiting the page!

Well…*This,* I did not expect!

In a sudden reversal of fortune, it turns out we didn’t have to leave Phoenix after all! The end of one thing,  is always the beginning of another.

With the demise of KDKB I truly thought I was going to have to leave one of the most beautiful places in America. However, the company had other ideas. I met with them, and they floated an idea; Would I be interested in taking over the 7-11p slot on Phoenix’ Classic Rock Station, 100.7 KSLX?

I thought about it, for about 3 seconds. Wasn’t even a question. As I said before, Hubbard Broadcasting are the classiest broadcasting company that I’ve had the opportunity to work with. Even when they fired me, it was done with delicacy. They showed compassion,and genuine concern. I’m humbled to be asked to return. To be welcomed back, is an opportunity I’d have been stupid to refuse.

And so…join me in “The Rock Zone” – weeknights from 7-11 on KSLX!

Feel free to hit the link in the upper right corner, and give a listen.

Thanks for listening…and, checking out the site!

Gary Gulman does the hang. Talks a little bullying. Talks a little porn. Talks a little phone…

…good times.
