Overnight Drive Joins TNCRadio.LIVE

HOUSTON, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- On the heels of an announcement regarding their Prime Time programming, TNCRadio.LIVE, announced today that another well-known radio personality can now be heard on the trucker-centric streaming radio station.

"We are excited to announce that in cooperation with Hot Shot's Secret, The Steve Sommers Overnight Drive program can be heard on TNCRadio beginning February 7, 2022." The announcement was made on-air by Ron Samuels, Vice President and one of the founding partners of TNCRadio.

With a predominantly talk format including live shows and popular podcasts, the station grew quickly since its launch in mid-2020 because of its easy availability online at http://www.tncradio.live/ and via Google Play, Apple's App Store, Alexa, and hundreds of platforms and devices.

"It makes a lot of sense for us to partner with TNCRadio.LIVE to bring Steve's show to the leader in 24-hours streaming talk radio for truckers," said Chris Gaberelcik, founder and CEO of Hot Shot's Secret. Under his leadership, Gabrelcik has positioned the "Hot Shot's Secret" brand as the primary sponsor for "The Steve Sommers Overnight Drive" since its launch and has supported the trucking industry for over 20 years.

TNCRadio.LIVE will broadcast Sommers' popular live call-in show during its familiar midnight to 5 a.m. ET, timeslot.

"This is another important step in our expansion to multiple platforms," according to Chad Highland, Program Director for The Overnight Drive. "As Steve's program continues to gain listeners throughout the country, we are investigating multiple avenues for growth."

As a part of the agreement between Hot Shot's Secret and TNCRadio, the "Hot Shot's Secret" brand will feature prominently on TNCRadio both on-air and on social media.

"This is truly a win-win for both organizations," said TNCRadio Managing Partner, Tom Kelley. "The agreement allows Hot Shot's Secret to extend their on-air reach to a 24-hour platform and allows TNCRadio to keep our focus on building a safe place for drivers to get the news and information they need, and the music and entertainment they want."

TNCRadio.LIVE began broadcasting in mid-2020 and provides on-going weather, traffic, and emergency information and entertainment to the Transportation Industry, primarily to commercial drivers. The station is privately owned. TNCRadio.LIVE is a DBA of IMSICO, LLC, a Texas Company.

TNCRadio.LIVE Announces 2022 Lineup

HOUSTON, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- TNCRadio.LIVE announced today that some well-known personalities have joined with the trucker-focused Internet streaming radio station to provide new programming beginning in January 2022.

With a predominantly talk radio format including live shows and popular podcasts, the station grew quickly since its launch in mid-2020 because of its easy availability online at www.tncradio.live and via Google Play, Apple's App Store, Alexa, and hundreds of platforms and devices.

"This has been an incredible journey and we are very enthusiastic about our future," said Managing Partner, Tom Kelley. "Since the station was founded, we believed that if we kept our focus on building a safe place for drivers to get the news and information they need, and the music and entertainment they want, we would be successful."

In October 2021, the streaming station launched their "TNCRadio Prime Time" lineup, 7-9PM ET daily. The shows are produced by TNCRadio.LIVE and are available as a podcast a few days after the original broadcast. "Our first season was extremely well received, and we are grateful to our many listeners who have jumped in with us," said Shelley Johnson, co-host of "Women Road Warriors," a lively talk show designed to empower and inspire women in the trucking industry.

Johnson, an Executive Vice President and one of the founding partners of TNCRadio.LIVE, made the formal announcement on-air. "We are so happy to announce that Ice Road Trucker Alex Debogorski, "America's Trucking Sweetheart" Marcia Campbell, and Dr. Christopher Cortman of "Building Strong Minds," can all be heard on TNCRadio starting in January 2022."

Alex Debogorski, a standout on The History Channel's "Ice Road Truckers" series, is well-known for his ability to tell stories of his nearly 50 years driving trucks in Canada. "Basically, all we have to do is just wind him up and get out of the way," Kelley said with a laugh. He continued, "Tale Lights," a new show to the TNCRadio Prime Time lineup "is the perfect format for Alex. The program is geared around letting drivers do what they do best. Next to being a safe driver, every decent driver loves to tell their stories. Alex is one of the best storytellers you have ever heard."

By his own account, well-known musician/trucker 'Long Haul Paul' Marhoefer has been a big fan of Marcia Campbell's for many years. "Having Marcia back on the air is going to be a huge hit for a lot of us," said the singer. "It was a very sad day when she left the airways in 2020. Even if it's only going to be once a week, I know many drivers have been waiting a long time for this."

The pandemic has certainly increased health awareness across the board. Trucking is no exception. The new show "Building Strong Minds," with noted author and psychologist Dr. Christopher Cortman will take on subjects that drivers sometimes avoid discussing.

"We will tackle anything and everything from stress, anxiety, loneliness and depression to practical tips on how to improve relationships from the road," according to show producer, Tom Kelley.

This will be the second season of the TNCRadio.LIVE Prime Time lineup and includes season one holdovers, "Women Road Warriors," hosted by Johnson and motivational author/speaker/driver Kathy Tuccaro, "TruckersLife Radio," hosted by TFC Global President, Ron Fraser and "The Train Station," with longtime Houston radio host Bill Waldrop, recently named as one of the corporate partners. The TNCRadio Prime Time slot also includes "Keep on Talkin'" with host/partner/driver Tom Kyrk introducing listeners to many of trucking's most interesting people.

Finally, company Vice President and another founding partner, Ron Samuels brings his nearly 60 years in radio to the table with a new show. "Reverse Gear," a look back at the history of popular music, will give the listeners an opportunity to not only remember some of the best songs of the last six decades, but also to see how the artists who wrote and performed some of these classics made their mark in the industry.

New Internet Radio Station Founded by ‘Dream Team’ of Radio Personalities

20-0625s2p-tncradio-live-696x522.jpg /ScoopCloud/ -- TNCRadio.LIVE announced today that some well-known radio personalities along with others have come together to help create a new Internet Radio and Mixed-media company focused on those who spend their day driving the streets of Houston.

TNCRadio.LIVE an Internet Radio station launching July 1, 2020, provides Houston TNC, delivery, repair service and other full-time drivers up-to-the-minute details they need to be safer, smarter, and more successful. They do this by providing accurate and timely traffic, weather, and emergency information along with driver-designed programming throughout the broadcast day.

Managing Partner, Tom Kelley said, "This team came together in a remarkable way. We have IT professionals, social media experts, and finance support all focused on the same goal. We are also excited that several radio personalities have joined the team. As a mixed-media information distribution company, we hope to disrupt the Houston Internet Radio market in a way that is positive for our listeners and our advertisers."

Kelley went on to discuss some of the on-air personalities who have joined the company as partners. Jim Kovacik, Vice President of Programming (formerly, 'Jimbo,' 97.9 The Box) has been a ratings leader in the Houston market for years. Author, on-air personality and mixed-media journalist, Shelley Johnson is the Vice President of Business Development. Additionally, Houstonians will recognize the strong and trusted voice of Vice President of Operations, Ron Samuels.

"Combined, that's nearly 100 years of broadcast experience right there. It is a real 'Dream Team' of radio broadcasters moving into the new world of Internet Radio and mixed-media communications. As the market moves to an Internet based format, these radio greats have kept up with the times and made the move as well," said Kelley.

Jim Kovacik, who also manages the station's strategic business relationships, announced the new station has developed partnerships with a variety of companies. "We have teamed with WAZE to power our Traffic Navigation Center. Plus, we are working closely with TranStar and other digital broadcasters to create a system that provides information and entertainment across multiple formats focused on our core audience."

Shelley Johnson said, "We are positioned to be a strong leader in the Houston Mixed-media advertising market. It is not like the old days at all. While our goal is to allow drivers to keep their 'eyes on the road and their ears on us,' much of our advertising and our information content is available on our app, videos, website, podcasts, and streaming. Our advantage is that we can bring real-time information across multiple platforms while concentrating on the health and safety of our drivers. This brings a level of security that they have not had in the past. It also gives our sponsors a place to deliver their message directly to those who need their goods and services."

Known for his powerful voice on several San Francisco and Houston area radio stations, Ron Samuels is no stranger to the Houston market. When asked about why such a well-known radio personality would jump into the world of Internet Radio at this point in his career, Samuels said, "My family keeps asking me when I plan to retire. I'm not sure that's in my nature. These guys have done their research and we are almost ready to launch. I am excited to be part of something that brings the power of Radio to the Digital age.

Our audience delivers people, car-parts, food, furniture, and groceries. Others drive from site-to-site doing repairs, etc. It won't be long before the professional drivers of Houston have a new favorite radio station."

TNCRadio.LIVE, scheduled to launch July 1, 2020, provides on-going weather, traffic, and emergency information to Houston area drivers. The station is privately owned. TNCRadio.LIVE is a DBA of IMSICO, LLC, a Texas Company and can be accessed via Alexa, a number of Internet Radio Directories or by visiting the company website.
