WEEKLY ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Kudos to Ed Daniels (Three Tailgaters Show--Saturdays from 10 AM-Noon) for an outstanding special/preview of the BCS National Title game on WGNO-TV, ABC 26, where Ed serves as sports director. The program aired on Friday, January 4. Jeff Crouere had an amusing, cutting commentary on New Orleans and New Year's Resolutions on his Ringside Radio Show (8 AM-Noon Monday-Friday) and on his television show of the same name on WLAE-TV (Friday night--8:30 PM). Ed Clancy dug into the history of Mardi Gras and a preview of the 2008 Mardi Gras with historian-supreme Arthur Hardy while allowing his daughter to modernize the music on his show (Noon-3 PM--Monday-Friday). Welcome to the 21st century, Ed! Bernie Cyrus had substantive discussion with Democratic operatives and declared himself a Pro-Life Democrat! On All-Access, Ken Trahan (Weeknights--6-8 PM) visited with Ivan Maisel of ESPN.com on his column LSU being a deserving two-loss national champion. Tim McNally (Wine Show--Sundays from 11 AM-1 PM) continues with outstanding guests, including a visit with Dr. Barry Gump and Chip Casidy, professors in the school of Hotel and Restaurant Management at Florida International in Miami this coming Sunday. Emanuel and George Pepis, along with Johnny Marchese continue with Prep Plus (Friday nights--8-10 PM) talking high school sports year-round. And don't miss Meredith Mendez on Sunday Source (Sundays--5-7 PM) as she recaps the week's top stories and visits with the top news makers of the week.    
 
ADDITIONS
WGSO is proud of its newest programming addition, "Talkin' Tigers" with Kevin Ford of the LSU Network (Tuesday nights--8 PM). The show debuted this past Tuesday with Kevin's first guest, former Tiger great and current broadcaster, Doug Moreau.
You may have noticed the latest addition from "The Voice" of WGSO, Mike McCann. It is simple. It is two words. It is "The Bridge," segueing from commercials to programming and completely in-tune with what WGSO strives to be--a bridge between the North shore and the South shore, the East Bank and the West Bank, Jefferson Parish and the River Parishes, Orleans and St. Bernard. WGSO seeks to build bridges and connect everyone in our metropolitan area as one, growing our relevance, importance, and influence in the state and in the southern region as we seek to rebuild the Greater New Orleans area in an inclusive, not an exclusionary fashion.
In the area of sales, Sales Manager Harry Finch has added Elliott Everard and Kirk Johnson to his formidable staff.
 
NEW SPONSORS
Additionally, WGSO welcomes our newest sponsors, Christwood Premier Retreat Community, The New Orleans Mardi Gras Marathon, O' Neal's Auto Mart, Reggie Laurent Law Office, Sterling Properties, DWI Attorney Troy Broussard, and Zoom Tech Automotive. It is great to have you as part of the WGSO family and investing in our very bright future!
