Dallas talk show host going national

He is now known as Richard Hunter thanks to mega DJ Rick Dees:

Hunter’s show, Big Dick’s Wild-Ass Circus, got its start in 2002 on Sports Radio KTCK/1310-AM The Ticket and in 2006 moved to KLLI/105.3-FM 105 Live. Now his show is being re-branded as The Richard Hunter Show to reach a broader audience. But, according to Hunter, he’s not abandoning his wild-ass roots.

“As far as Wild-Ass Circus, Big Dick, and BDH, and all of that, it will still be there,” he said. For people who refer to the new show by the old names, he said, “It will become like a fraternal thing, like an old-school familiarity if someone uses the terminology.”

Hunter signed the deal with Dees last fall, and he and Dees’ group intended for 105.3 to be the show’s flagship station. But a little over a month after signing the agreement with Dees and CBS, the Dees group’s parent company, the station changed to an all-sports format, leaving Hunter without a radio home. After a several-month search, he and Dees Entertainment found a new home at KXYZ/1360-AM BizRadio. READ THE REST
