Small Business Host Named To The HEAVY HUNDRED - Again!

SPRINGFIELD, MA - SPRINGFIELD, MA — For the third consecutive year, Jim Blasingame has been selected by TALKERS Magazine as a member of the 2005 Heavy Hundred, the 100 most important radio talk show hosts in America. Blasingame is the creator and award-winning host of The Small Business AdvocateSM Show, nationally syndicated since 1997, and the flagship brand of Small Business Network, Inc. (SBN).

TALKERS Magazine is the radio talk show industry’s premier publication. Heavy Hundred selection criteria includes: ratings, longevity, uniqueness, potential, social impact, service, industry and media recognition, courage, effort, and talent.

“Jim Blasingame has certainly earned his position among the Heavy Hundred, now for the third consecutive year,” said TALKERS’ Editor and Publisher, Michael Harrison. “Clearly one of the best in our industry, Jim is a talented broadcaster, an excellent interviewer, and one of the world’s top thought leaders on small business. His show is superb, and as the only weekday talk show in America dedicated to small business, makes a very important contribution to our industry, as well as the marketplace.”

“I’m extremely proud to be honored again this year as a member of the Heavy Hundred,” said Blasingame, “and grateful to TALKERS for recognizing me as a member of this distinguished group of professionals.”

Brian DuBose, Program Director at KFNN in Phoenix, Arizona said, “Congratulations to Jim Blasingame on being named to TALKERS’ Heavy Hundred for the third consecutive year. He’s a real pro and this recognition is well deserved. Our audience knows Jim as the voice of small business, and his Small Business Advocate Show is an important part of our weekday line-up.

The U.S. Small Business Administration recognized Blasingame as the 2002 Small Business Journalist Of The Year, and he’s also a member of the SBA’s National Advisory Council. FORTUNE Small Business identified Blasingame as one of the top small business resources in America and one of the 30 most influential people representing small business. Blasingame is also a syndicated columnist, and author of the best-selling book, Small Business Is Like A Bunch Of Bananas (SBN Books ©2002), and Three Minutes To Success (SBN Books ©2005).
