The End Of An Era

As you can imagine, our focus is 100% on Reitman's final week at KTI after 27 years in Radio City. If you haven't spent time with the REITMAN ERA website, you really should:

Have we got plans for the final week or what?

First of all, this Friday we have re-scheduled the live show from the Goodwill store in Franklin. They went all out to welcome Reitman, Mueller and Amy last week and mother nature got in the way. So they will be there on Friday from 6-9 - come take a peek!

On Monday (12/11), Reitman, Mueller, Amy and Gino will do this show live from Studio D here in Radio City. Lips will actually be hosting the show as the 'gang of four' participates in a "Behind the Music" type of show. We have invited a live studio audience so Lips will blend his questions with those from the audience.

On Tuesday (12/12), the morning show will start a little later and be live from the Riverside Theater in downtown Milwaukee. You do not need a ticket - just c'mon in. The doors will be open just before 8 and you can watch Reitman's 2nd to last show as it unfolds. Gino has promised some pretty cool guests. That show will be from 8-noon and you can hear it all live on 'KTI if you can't make it down.

Later that evening, we are holding the Reitman Farewell Bash - a fundraiser for Reitman's charity "Buddies Against Prostate Cancer." We have an all-star line-up of funny people and some great comedy skits that are being practiced at this moment. This is a ticketed event, and only a few hundred tickets are left (again - charity event for only $15).

On Wednesday 12/13/06, Reitman will host his final show from Radio City. We have left that show up to Bob to do whatever he wants. At the moment, he has asked to be left alone in our main studio with Amy, Gene and Gino. This will be a special moment for all of us at KTI - and we'll be listening to it just like you - on our radio. The final show starts at 6am and ends whenever Reitman is done.

What a week - huh?
