IT ALL STARTS AT HOME...Fourteen years ago, Bert Weiss brought his new brand of reality radio to the Atlanta airwaves.It was engaging. It was entertaining. It flew in the face of the traditional morning shows with which it competed.

It worked. Since launching in March 2001, The Bert Show has consistently been #1 in one of America’s most competitive markets.

The Bert Show is unique in its ability to entertain with relatable, reality-based content. Bert and his co-hosts, Kristin Klingshirn and Jeff Dauler share the details of their lives and their idiosyncrasies every day. In return, the listeners share their unforgettable stories in a conversation that keeps listeners engaged morning after morning.

In 2012, upon the urging of his friend Kidd Kraddick, The Bert Show launched as a syndicated program. The program has grown steadily and now has affiliates across America. In syndication, The Bert Show has posted remarkable growth numbers in both PPM and Diary markets. Read on to see some highlights…

REAL. FUNNY.

RECENT AFFILIATES

THE FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHT... The Bert Show has added a large number of affiliates in the past year. Here are some of the early success indicators in representative markets.


BERT, THE HOST

Our fearless leader, Bert, is in the business of making connections. Known for his compassion, dysfunction and curious nature, he allows the listeners to see all parts of his personal life, whether they’re pretty or messy. He is a dedicated father of two sons, Hayden and Hollis. He loves traveling, working out, surfing and watching sports. Bert is also a true philanthropist in the community. He and Stacey Weiss started a nonprofit called Bert’s Big Adventure, a year-round organization that annually takes children who have chronic and terminal illnesses and their entire families to Walt Disney World® on an all-expenses-paid, five-day trip every February.

JEFF, THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCER & CO-HOST

Jeff brings the slightly inappropriate sense of humor, witty sarcasm and laughter to The Bert Show. Most people experience “I shouldn’t have said that” moments, while Jeff just says what he’s thinking…with no filter. He tells it like it is, but does so in a humorous way and (almost) always with the best intentions. Along with providing comic relief to the show, Jeff also serves as an inspiration for listeners going through tough times. He started the ‘Keep Moving Forward’ campaign during his journey to change his life by becoming a triathlete, and has been overwhelmed at the positive response from listeners.

KRISTIN, THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS DIRECTOR & CO-HOST

Not one to take herself seriously, Kristin knows life is short, so you better have fun. She’s never afraid to expose details of her life in the hopes of connecting with listeners and if you can get a good laugh in the process, even better. As soon as a celebrity does anything, and we mean anything, she knows all about it and is ready to report on it in her Entertainment Buzz. Kristin can hang with the boys and she can empathize with female listeners all at the same time. Compassion is key for her, but so is having an opinion and owning it.

TRACEY, THE DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS

Tracey is the Operations Manager and “mom” of The Bert Show – literally and figuratively. It’s her job to keep all the wheels moving behind the scenes and keep everyone happy and in the loop (and not to mention in line!). When she’s done dotting all the i’s and crossing the t’s at work, she heads home to be the mommy of two little girls. Her days are long, her inbox is full and her to-do list is never ending, but if you ask her how she does it, she’ll tell you it’s because of these two things: her amazing husband and COFFEE!
