Local radio show airing in Cincinnati. Fails WP:SIGCOV. Formerly simulcast over one of Clear Channel's leased XM channels (not particularly unique) -- XM has not aired show since Clear Channel sold its stake in the satellite company. ~~Despite "network" name, unable to verify show ever aired in other local markets (as article claims).~~ Very little coverage online, mostly in passing and centered around exit of former host in 2004, or former host's death in 2012. This show, which has always aired overnights out of WLW/Cincinnati, was formerly known as The Truckin' Bozo (1984–2004) -- please do not confuse w/ The Truckin' Bozo show which aired afternoons exclusively on satellite radio (2004–2012). Open to redirecting to WLW. Levdr1lp / talk 07:41, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Correction: the Truckin' Bozo version of this overnight show (pre-2004) aired on "about a dozen affiliates". Show does not currently syndicate, however, and I still cannot verify show ever aired in other markets during the post-Bozo period. Levdr1lp / talk 07:50, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Go ahead and redirect to WLW at this point. I wrote this article when the show still had a couple of terrestrial affiliates and was still on XM. Since then the show's profile has diminished to the point where its notability only comes for being on WLW and being the continuation of Dale Sommers's show. The pertinent details can be put in those locations. J. Myrle Fuller (talk) 14:49, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
