Two Listener Calls You Will Never Forget

21

The restaurant industry is being decimated by this virus. If a restaurant is unable to cover its bills by providing takeout only, it will have to close its doors. Hubbard West Palm Beach morning show co-hosts Tim & Chelsea heard from one of those restaurants earlier this week.

Amanda is the daughter of the owner of Morgan’s Country Kitchen. Amanda called Tim & Chelsea on the air asking them if it was ok to let listeners know they were still open for business. She was worried her mom would lose the restaurant. One day later Amanda’s mom Patty called in to let the hosts know what happened.

Listen to the two calls to the station below (the total time of the audio is 5 minutes)

  1. Thanks, Radio Ink for sharing the audio.

    HT to Tim & Chelsea for how that handled the original call and having the good sense to air it in the first place.

    This is what radio can do when it’s at its best!

    • So true Andy!!!
      Thank you to Tim and Chelsea and Radio Ink. Overwhelmed every day

  2. If you live out of the area, I am sure you can call in an order and donate it to a hospital or police station. That’s what I am planning on doing

    • Bogusia that is any amazing idea. I would definitely do that. Our first responders need all the help we can give.
      Thank you

  3. When local businesses need help, who do they go to – Spotify? Pandora?
    Hardly.
    What a dramatic demonstration of the power of Human speech, pure audio, unscripted people stories, and the importance of that medium so many take for granted, local radio.
    Thank you, RadioINK, for sharing this. It deserves widespread distribution.

    • Thank you Rod
      I’ve been listening to this station since I was a teenager.

  4. Go figure…a millennial and her mom, counting on radio, to save their small business. We in radio – LOCAL radio – Rock. Great job Tim and Chelsea…and to all of the other (non syndicated radio shows out there)… and here I thought all millennials only listen to spotify?
    Local = Radio = Success

  5. A local station here in the Scranton, PA area, GEM 104, is running a public service feature, “Open For Business”, in which businesses that are still open or running limited hours/services may call a hotline or send an announcement to the website and these announcements are played on the air.

    • It’s amazing to still see a positive in all the uncertainty of today times. Radio is powerful.

  6. I was in radio sales in D/FW for 23 years and absolutely loved hearing this call and this shows the power of radio and connecting with your listeners. Way to go in helping this business survive these times. Even though I am not in radio any longer, I am a huge fan.

    • Becky I’m a huge fan of radio. They have helped me so much. So blessed.
