Veteran radio host Kim “The Kimmer” Peterson has signed a deal with Dickey Broadcasting to have highlights from his podcast air on the talk station Xtra 106.3/1230.
The show will air Saturdays at noon for an hour starting March 12.
“You’ll be hearing our voices on the radio again.,” the Kimmer said on his Feb. 25 podcast. “This is a great start.”
Dickey Broadcasting also runs sports talk the Fan on 680 and 93.7.
David Dickey, who runs Dickey Broadcasting, said the Kimmer’s podcast will also move to Dickey’s podcast platform “The Podcast Park” and “we’ll do some things on the weekend. It’s a smart move by all sides.”
The Kimmer was a popular conservative host on news/talk 640 WGST from 1992 to 2006. He retired for many years before news/talk 106.7 brought him back in 2013, where he stayed for six years before Atlanta-based Cumulus sold the station to a Christian broadcaster.
He has since been doing a podcast three days a week, available on most major podcast platforms.
The Kimmer also reported on his Facebook page Saturday that his beloved horse Jack the Good Boy “suddenly passed away this morning with no warning and no suffering. He was happy, he had breakfast and just laid down and slipped away. I feel so broken.”
He said in a follow-up text that he owned Jack for 13 of the horse’s 22 years: “The daily horse videos I put on Facebook drew tens of thousands of fans from South Africa to Egypt... It’s amazing and they’re all shedding tears, too.”
The station recently added daily commentary from Neal Boortz, bringing him out of retirement.
Xtra 106.3 has a limited signal on the FM dial mostly focused around Cobb County and north Fulton and can be heard on an app. Dickey started the station last April as an alternative to news/talk 95.5/750 WSB.
