Personal Lives???

[kenhawk1160]

Sharing your personal life on the air has actually been responsible for the trend of pairing morning show hosts who are of the opposite sex.  The locker-room banter of the dual male team went out of style in the 90's, and when you get a woman co-hosting with a guy, what does she talk about?  Mostly her husband, kids if she has any...things that are highly relatable in a 25-54 female-leaning demographic.  Two guys in the morning don't talk about stuff like this.  The female co-host can usually bring that stuff out of her male partner. 

However, there are limits, especially where spouses are concerned.  They may not be like their extroverted radio host wife or husband and are perfectly content to stay in the background.  Then they go to work and hear from their co-workers things about their private lives that they would like to keep private.  They may not be BAD things, but some people try to guard their free time as much as possible. 

Radio people fall into two categories...they've been married at least three times, or never been married at all.  So far I've been lucky with my first, but it's only been three years.

It is sad.  I have been married to the same person for almost 17 years.  Both of us in radio.
