Tara Servatius is going national. At least for one day, as she’ll guest host The Mike Gallagher Show on Friday.
The 98.9 WORD morning host will helm the Salem Radio Network nationally syndicated show on Friday morning in Gallagher’s stead. It will mark her first appearance on a national program, Gallagher said.
“You’re in for a real treat,” Gallagher said to his audience in announcing that Tara Servatius will guest-host his show. “Joey Hudson, of course, is my go-to guest host. But I also wanted you to get a little bit of a sampling of a local host at a great radio station. 98.9 WORD, the voice of the Carolinas, they are a powerhouse talk station. They’re truly, I would guess, one of the biggest by listenership and percentages in the market, one of the biggest talk stations in America.
“They’re just a great radio station. It’s the station where I started my career decades and decades ago,” Gallagher added. “So it feels good to be back home again and good to be on their lineup. I come on right after Tara, and Tara is going to join us tomorrow as your guest host.”
Mike Gallagher added that Tara Servatius hosts a different style of program than he does, but is happy to provide a platform for her to speak to a wider audience.
“She’s very unique, very different. She’s not as caller-driven as I am, but is smart as a whip,” Gallagher said. “She comes from sort of an investigative journalist newspaper background. But she has become enormously successful and popular, and I think you’re going to appreciate Tara on tomorrow’s Mike Gallagher Show.”
