Show Information
America's Trucking Network airs five hours per night, live from midnight to 5 AM Eastern Time. Steve Sommers hosts the show from early Monday through early Friday, while Bubba Bo hosts early Saturday and Sunday.
The show is currently heard on WLW/700 in Cincinnati, a 50,000-watt clear channel station that covers much of the eastern half of the United States. It is also heard on XM Satellite Radio and WLW's Internet feed. All three sources carry the show in its entirety. The show's satellite channel numbering has changed several times. With the Sirius-XM merger, WLW was dropped from the lineup, but America's Trucking Network was retained, first moving to Extreme Talk-XM 152, then in April 2011 to America's Talk, XM 166. It has always been carried in a live time slot. Prior to the Truckin' Bozo's move to satellite, the show was also carried on approximately a dozen terrestrial stations across the United States, mostly 50,000-watt "clear channel" stations. Though most of the stations dropped ATN after the Bozo's move, two 50,000-watt stations, WWVA/1170 in Wheeling, West Virginia and KWKH in Shreveport, Louisiana, continued to carry the program through 2009. WWVA dropped the show that year in favor of Coast to Coast AM and KWKH switched to automated music.
Steve Sommers (with 2 M's) is not to be confused with another late-night host, sports talk host Steve Somers (with 1 M) of WFAN in New York.

Famous quotes containing the words show and/or information:
“The Taylor and the Painter often contribute to the Success of a Tragedy more than the Poet. Scenes affect ordinary Minds as much as Speeches; and our Actors are very sensible, that a well-dressed Play has sometimes brought them as full Audiences, as a well-written one.... But however the Show and Outside of the Tragedy may work upon the Vulgar, the more understanding Part of the Audience immediately see through it, and despise it.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
“I am the very pattern of a modern Major-Gineral,
I’ve information vegetable, animal, and mineral;
I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical,
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical;”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
