The show has been running less than one month, but co-hosts Dave Carney and Chad Forster already are calling their new 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. morning radio program “Talk radio, the way it’s supposed to be!” “Dave and Chad are two high-energy, creative talents , who are merging their terrific track records with a lively, diverse talk radio format that ‘asks the questions most dare not to ponder’ and our listeners respect and enjoy that kind of talk,” said AM 720 KDWN Program Director John Shaffer. “These two are combining their experience, insight, wisdom and witty remarks, with large doses of comic relief, mixed with controversial commentary on issues ranging from sports to politics to breaking news!” Since 2007, Dave Carney has hosted or co-hosted several radio programs in Las Vegas, with a heavy emphasis on political and sports talk. Dave’s role as both the long time Voice of the Las Vegas Wranglers professional hockey team, and his front office involvement in professional football have given him special insight into the world of sports and business. During the 2013-2014 NFL season, Dave joined with ESPN Radio for The Jim Fassel Show, which paired Dave with the former Head Coach of the New York Giants, “Being a morning show host has been a lifelong dream of mine,” Said Carney. “Doing ‘Live in Las Vegas’ with the Beasley Media Group, is making that dream come true. I’m flattered and honored to be part of such a great team at KDWN, and am looking forward to starting off each Las Vegas weekday morning with energy, excitement, and great talk radio!” “Dave Carney’s energy, passion, enthusiasm, creativity, and diverse knowledge of sports, news and base round out this talent with just the right mix of ‘Top 40’ fun and intelligent subject matter,” said Beasley Media Group’s Las Vegas Market Manager Tom Humm, who quickly added “We’re equally thrilled to welcome his talented co-host Chad Forster, who has produced or programmed some of the best and biggest shows in Las Vegas! It’s a winning morning talk team and they cover all the bases!” Chad Forster, a 15-year radio professional, began producing Vegas’s #1 morning show and quickly developed from a behind the scenes producer to an on-air personality. In 2005, Chad’s radio career took a new direction, when he became the Assistant Program Director, writer and station personality “Chad the Intern” of Jack FM. In August of 2010, Jack FM was flipped to KXNT and Chad became the Operations Manager and morning sports anchor. Regarding his “Live in Las Vegas” opportunity, Chad remarked, “I’m so excited and honored to be a part of a morning show on such a heritage station, and looking forward to bringing Las Vegas a funny, and interesting look into the news.” Visit “Live in Las Vegas” at www.DaveandChad.com and www.KDWN.com.
