"Home Talk" first aired on WSMB 1350am, a news/talk radio station,
in New Orleans on January 24, 2004. Michael King, a
state-licensed general contractor, was the show's first host
and original creator. The home improvement industry the
state of Louisiana was basically unregulated and had no
accountability for it's contractors. The home improvement
industry was #1 in consumer complaints, and fraud and scams
were on the rise, costing consumers in this state millions
of dollars yearly. Michael wanted to bring in a live, call
in talk show to the radio that dealt with these contracting
issues and introduce awareness and legislation to regulate
these unlicensed, uninsured contractors. The original format
was for consumers looking for solutions to current home
problems and advice and ideas on home improvement projects
to call in and talk to Michael King for straight answers to
their home improvement problems. The objective of the show
is to educate and inform the listening audience.
In May of 2004, different home improvement experts were
invited to appear on the show, giving the listening audience
a broader range of topics to help them with their particular
problems. This new formatted idea allowed the caller the
opportunity to speak with these experts directly.
"Home Talk"is now syndicated across the entire state of
Louisiana where thousands of listeners tune in weekly, with
more markets being added. "Home Talk"would like to thank
our many sponsors and YOU, the listening audience, for your
continued help and support in making this show one of the
top radio shows on the air today. We hope this show will
continue to help and guide you so you won't become a victim
of home improvement fraud and faulty work by an incapable
contractor.
