On May 2nd the show will move to the #1 news radio station in the DFW Metroplex Newstalk 820 WBAP Saturday afternoons from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
"This is a relationship that we've been looking forward to for quite some time and I'm glad the day is finally here. I am looking forward to working with Program Director Tyler Cox and the broadcast team at WBAP as we add them to our lineup of great stations across the state of Texas." commented radio host and home repair expert Jim Dutton.
"Texas Home Improvement with Jim Dutton" airs each weekend in Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, Texarkana and Corpus Christi, as Jim provides practical advice, recommendations and referrals to listeners calling in with home improvement questions.
"People just love Jim and the help he gives when they get stuck on a project and don't know what to do." remarked Executive Producer Brian McFarling. " He's like that friendly neighbor on your block that knows everything about home repair. It helps them, and it helps everyone else who is listening. Now there will be thousands more joining in the conversation, thanks to WBAP!"
A 30-year veteran contractor and owner of statewide DuWest Foundation Repair, Jim Dutton is known for his integrity, honesty and solid, practical, and often money-saving advice. No question is off-limits, according to Jim.
"I find that we have people of every age group, race and gender calling in to the show. We get just as many women callers as we do men, with questions that range from what type of radiant barrier to buy, roofing, plumbing, siding, AC, painting ... you name it, they ask it." said Dutton.
Since the debut of Texas Home Improvement in Dallas Jim has made dozens of TV appearances on major network affiliates FOX, CBS, NBC and ABC and has conducted countless seminars on the Main Stage at the Dallas Home and Garden Show along with a "live" broadcast of Texas Home Improvement during the show.
