Allan was producing compelling talk radio for AOR stations on the FM band long before "FM Talk" became a viable format. It was talk radio on the very stations where the management wanted less talk and more music.

While shows like "Rock Line" and "Modern Rock Live" featured only interviews with bands each week, Allan mixed the biggest names in Rock and entertainment with amazing guests and subjects that kept people glued to the radio. It was sex, drugs, and Rock n' Roll with a whole lot more!

Even before "The Allan Handelman Show" went into syndication, Allan managed to regularly feature high profile guests such as David Letterman and Frank Zappa, despite being limited to one North Carolina station.

Handelman's ratings often tripled the stations norm. After building to a 31 share for the coveted 18-49 demographic, Allan consistently achieves top numbers in the 25-54, 18-49 and 18-24 demographics.
