DUDLEY & BOB SHOW' FAMILY OF LISTENERS
READY TO TAKE IN STERN'S LEFT-BEHINDERS

(Austin, Texas) -- When shock jock Howard Stern leaves his home on earthbound KXBT-FM this month for his launch on Sirius Satellite Radio in early January 2006, the loyal listeners of 93.7 KLBJ's "Dudley & Bob Show," the long-standing, raucous rock morning show of record in Austin, stand ready to take in those Stern leaves behind.

As Stern's terrestrial listeners seek a new land-based source, the crowd of fans of Dale Dudley and Bob Fonseca and sidekick Charlie Hodge (with producer Angela Davis) want to invite those newly disenfranchised to their own weekday morning drive-time club of outrageous, raunchy, adolescent -- not to mention FCC sanction-worthy -- humor.

"Dudley & Bob Show" has been beating Stern in the ratings in the 25-54 demographic for 11 years now anyway, leaving Dudley, Fonseca, Hodge and Davis as the most "inside" of Austin radio insiders.

In those years, the show has come to be known for putting more than a few Austin-based musicians on the map with acoustic performances in the studio, including Lil'l' Cap'n Travis, The Weary Boys, Carolyn Wonderland and Steve Poltz. It's also known for its daily topics that prompt call-ins and comments that range from the bizarre to the sublime and for the show's listeners who do the calling-in so regularly that they have been nicknamed (Political Dude, Hardcore Christian, Teddy Bear and 88-year-old Gladys) by the morning crew. Then there are the "Dudley & Bob Show" annual events such as Flashback Prom and the Pregnant Bikini Contest.

The show has been rated Best Drive Time Show in The Austin Chronicle Readers Poll for 11 of its 14 years and Best Radio Program by the Austin Music Awards for 10 years in a row and again in 2005. In the Austin Chronicle Critics Pick 2004, it was said that "Dudley and Bob are a guilty pleasure."

"Dudley & Bob Show" plans a special week in the New Year to welcome new family members, including a "Bring a Virgin (Listener)" party on Friday, January 13, at KLBJ.
