The Jim Engster Show is leaving public radio station WRKF 89.3 FM at the end of this month and moving up the dial to Guaranty Broadcasting’s Talk 107.3 FM, which will expand the one-hour talk show to two hours and air it live statewide during the weekday afternoon drive time from 4 to 6 p.m. The veteran radio host’s final broadcast on WRKF will be on Halloween, Friday, Oct. 31.
For Engster the move is an opportunity to reach a broader audience. His network, the Louisiana Radio Network, produces the show and will offer it to Guaranty affiliates around the state.
“This is a return to the show’s roots in a statewide audience,” Engster says. “People all across Louisiana will be able to talk to newsmakers directly.” For Guaranty, which launched its talk radio station in 2011, Engster’s show brings the potential for a devoted following of listeners.
