Birth of “In Wheel Time®”

• Houston needed a radio “car show” that was about more than “how to fix up an old car with cheap parts.”
• We wanted to produce a program that featured upgraded industry content from different automotive sectors and covered topics nobody else talks about like motorcycles, ATV’s and personal watercraft.
• This type of fresh perspective would broaden the listening audience, providing our advertisers with greater opportunities to reach a more diverse, upscale audience for their products and services.
• And that’s how “In Wheel Time” was born.
