Blasingame is the creator and award-winning host of The Small Business Advocate Show, nationally syndicated since 1997. TALKERS Magazine is the radio talk show industry's premier publication. According to Michael Harrison, Editor and Publisher of TALKERS Magazine, "Each year, we identify the 100 most important radio talk show hosts in America which we call the Heavy Hundred. We've watched Jim Blasingame's excellent work as the only weekday talk show in America dedicated to small business, and are pleased to recognize him as a member of the Heavy Hundred Class of 2003. Jim's show is superb and his contribution to the marketplace is important. He's clearly one of the very best in our industry." Selection to the Heavy Hundred is determined by evaluating the following criteria: ratings, longevity, uniqueness, potential, social impact, service, industry and media recognition, courage, effort, and talent. "I want to thank TALKERS Magazine for including me in this distinguished group of professionals." Blasingame said. "It's always nice to be recognized, but especially so when it comes from peers."
