Donny Osmond to Host Radio Show
Jan 6, 2010
-By Katy Bachman
Donny Osmond, the winner of ABC's Dancing With the Stars has waltzed his way into a new weekday radio show. Osmond's show, titled (what else) The Donny Osmond Show, will launch Jan. 18 on 60 radio stations and air middays 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The female-targeted program was developed by broadcast consultant Mike McVay of McVay Media and is the first offering from newly launched McVay Syndication. Citadel Media, which syndicates programs such as Imus in the Morning and The Mark Levin Show, is handling distribution and sales.
"Donny Osmond is a classic American performer who has spent the majority of his life bringing smiles to audiences around the world and continues to captivate his tremendous fan based today," said Carl Anderson, senior vp of programming and distribution for Citadel.
Radio is just about the only medium Osmond hasn't tackled in his career. A recording artist, actor, TV host, author and race car driver, Osmond's Web site donny.com receives 120 million hits each year.
Edit: The show is being shopped to AC and Classic Hits formats.

At least it's not a night show.

Yeah this lasted like three weeks on my local AC station. Seems the listeners didn't like it. I thought it very boring. His sense of humor was horible. And I hate syndicated programming that only plays oldies. They could at least add in a few new songs. Glad my station went back to having a live dj!

My AC station has picked this up, though the music is played in-house. Sounds like a knock-off of John Tesh.
