Suggested Presentation
The Bob & Tom Show is designed for easy integration into your station with a minimal amount of
equipment or format reconfigurations. Since the show’s introduction on March 7, 1983 and it’s syndication
debut in January 1995, we’ve been taking notes on the best ways to present the show on your station. We
truly hope these suggestions help as you launch The Bob & Tom Show.
Segments & Local Breaks
Each hour you’ll receive 41 minutes of The Bob & Tom Show and 1 minute of network recorded
inventory. That leaves 18 minutes an hour for use locally (see next section for format clocks). The
Bob & Tom Show hour is divided into six (6) segments; three program segments of varying lengths and
three (3) local breaks of exactly six (6) minutes each. The local breaks are scheduled to run at 12 minutes
after the hour, 41 minutes after the hour and 54 minutes after the hour. The breaks do float and could take
place up to 5 minutes on either side of the target time depending on the program content.
Show Start
The Bob & Tom Show starts exactly at 6:00:00 AM Eastern time, Monday through Friday, 52 weeks a
year. This is the only “fixed” time of the show. To start the show we suggest a custom liner from
Bob & Tom something like this:
“Good morning Cincinnati! It’s 6 o’clock and this is The Bob & Tom Show on
92-point-5 FM, The Fox…WOFX-FM, Cincinnati.”
At 5:59:45 AM Eastern a 15 second music bed starts on the network to assist your segue into the show.
Insertion of the custom Bob & Tom legal can take place here. For automated stations, this must be a timed
event rather than a closure-triggered event. Again, this is the only fixed position for a legal ID. The next
three legal ID’s must be played within the station’s six-minute local break at 54 minutes after the hour.
There are no closures for a legal ID.
At 6:00:00 AM Eastern our announcer says “This is The Bob & Tom Show,” and off we go with a
Bob & Tom bit or song while everyone gets settled.
Local Breaks
There are a total of twelve (12) six (6) minute local breaks in each four-hour show. The Bob & Tom
Show will fill each local break with network commercials. Local stations take each local break, but if there
is a technial problem and you miss the break, we’ll be filling with content for exactly six minutes. At the
six-minute mark, there is a slight pause followed by network programming.

Avoid the “Faucet” Mentality
We suggest a Bob & Tom affiliate be involved in promoting the show on and off the air to assure it’s
success. It is typical that your station will experience 120 to 180 days of morning audience turnover
associated with the introduction of Bob & Tom. Here’s our suggestion to avoid audience loss and take
advantage of the purge and related audience turmoil: PROMOTE THE SHOW AND RECYLCE
AUDIENCES!
Outside the show
• Play Bob & Tom Show highlights at least once per day-part (twice in afternoon drive).
The Bob & Tom Show provides at least 2 highlights per day via the daily download
available at www.bobandtominfo.com
• Use Bob & Tom voiced station & show promos rotated throughout the week
• Hourly legal ID’s featuring classic Bob & Tom Show highlights. Highlights for this
production are available at www.bobandtominfo.com
• Pre-produced Bob & Tom Show promos using snippets from albums.
• Benchmark cume-builders: High Noon, Bob & Tom Nooner, Five o’clock Funnies,
Laughter at 10 After, etc.
Inside the Show
• Bring your station into The Bob & Tom Show.
• Use station promos, liners, sweeps & bumps with a station voice or personalities.
• Bob & Tom voiced spot-busters. Quick “stay-tuned” bumps by Bob & Tom.
• Music reel promos to reinforce station’s music image.

With a foundation built around comedy and talk, The Bob & Tom Show features news, sports, lifestyle
content, and interviews with today’s top actors, authors and newsmakers. The show is also America’s
leading media outlet for the best and developing comedians on the circuit. More than just a comedy show,

The show also has produced specials for Comedy Central and present live comedy concerts nationwide

The Bob & Tom Show is now heard on over 150 radio stations from coast to coast. The program airs live
weekdays from 6am-10am ET. It began national syndication in 1995 from its flagship station in
Indianapolis.
Show parodies, songs, bits, and more are produced by a large staff of writers, musicians, artists,
performers, and misfits. Let’s briefly meet some of them here:
Bob Kevoian
Born in Los Angeles and graduated from Cal State Long Beach. Bob toured extensively
with theater groups and began his radio career in Northern Michigan in 1979 where he
met Tom and headed to WFBQ in Indianapolis. Bob is the one in the LA Dodger cap.
Tom Griswold
From Cleveland, Tom attended Columbia University. After a radio stop in Florida, Tom
hooked up with Bob in Petoskey Michigan and formed the morning team which eventually
came to Indianapolis in 1983. Tom is the one not wearing the LA Dodger cap.
Chick McGee
Born in London, Ohio. Chick began his broadcasting journey in West Virginia but
eventually made it to WFBQ’s sister station in Indianapolis. When they had enough of him,
he came on the Bob and Tom Show to do sports, take on announcer and commercial
duties and assume the role of the one and only Mr. Obvious.
Kristi Lee
Kristi joined the show in 1984 as News Director. Kristi is a native of Indianapolis and
attended Indiana University. She has also worked in television with Fox Sports and
ESPN.

The Bob & Tom Show = Affiliate Operations Manual
Dean Metcalf
Dean is the on-air producer and has been with the show since 1988. When he’s not putting calls on the
air…he’s calling in on the air. To give you an idea to his range of talent, he is both a brilliant musician as
well as the idiotic caller on the Mr. Obvious Show.
Ron Sexton
Ron joined the show in 2004 and is from Indianapolis. In addition to many great show characters, he is
the voice of Donnie Baker. Swear to God he is.
Steve Salge
Steve is one of America’s top celebrity impersonators. With the show since 1986, Steve is Bill Clinton,
George Bush, Al Gore, Larry King, Joe Biden, and many, many more. ‘Nuf said.
Steve Allee
Steve is the shows musical director and leads the Bob & Tom Band. Steve was discovered by
Stan Kenton and toured with Buddy Rich. Steve has recorded numerous jazz albums and has preformed
at The Montreux Jazz Festival.
