BBS Radio TV Letters of Recommendation from Talk Show Hosts

October 9th, 2018

Re: BBS Radio

Subject: Recommendation Letter.

Dear Contracting Officer:

I have been active and successful in show business for over 50 years as an actor, writer, Director, Producer, comic, critic, and talk show Host. I created 'Real People' the first reality show, and number 1 show in tv for 3 years. I was the original Emmy wimning Host of 'AM Los Angeles.' The multiple Emmy winning Critic-At-Large for 5 years at KNBC..and 10 years  with LA Magazine. Writer-Producer-Director of 3 inter- nationally acclaimed documentaries. Performer on 2 successful comedy albums. And the only one in tv to win Emmys for both News and Entertainment. I have worked with the greatest Stars in the business..and with scores of the best background technicians, engineers, editors, and entrepreneurs in the business. I consider Don and Doug Newsom in that elite category.

If the government ran the country as well as Don and Doug run their network, there would be no national debt!

Anyone who does business with them, like Allstate, is in good hands.

Yours Very Truly,

John Barbour,
President, John Barbour Prodz.

Douglas and Donald Newsom have been an incredible team to work with. I couldn’t ask for a better work ethic from these two innovative workaholics. I’ve worked with this inspiring duo for close to three years now and will continue my service until I retire, which hopefully will be never. They are the contemporary cutting-edge broadcasters that is needed desperately in the industry, and I support them 100%. I started my career in broadcasting and studied at a CBS owned broadcasting school. I obtained first, second and third-class FCC licenses and worked as a radio announcer on AM and FM radio stations in the 70’s and 80’s. I was also an entrepreneur owning and operating several retail electronics establishments in Washington D.C. so I can say with honesty and conviction that Doug and Don Newsom of BBS Radio are top-notch broadcasters and entrepreneurs and I recommend them very highly.

RE: BBS Radio

Dear Contracting Officer

It is my pleasure to recommend BBS Radio to you. Please consider them for a GSA contract award. I have worked the co-owners, Doug and Don Newsmen, for approximately 3 years. I appreciate their professionalism which includes, meeting deadlines, open-mindedness and always willing to accommodate their hosts. And besides exceeding expectations they have never missed a deadline. 

I especially value meeting deadlines and timeliness, as in my former career as a busy trial lawyer in the San Francisco Bay Area, timeliness, competency and mutual respect were essential.  

Journey On,

To whom it may concern,

My name is Randi Chenkin and I am the host of Randirobics™. It is an interactive children’s fitness entertainment program with the mission to combat childhood obesity. I connected with Doug and Don via social media over two years ago when I noticed their outstanding and educational radio shows. It was then I decided to become part of their family radio network. It was their professional guidance of how to set up my home recording studio, scripting, editing and ongoing support that assisted me in launching my global mission and making my dreams come true. It is also because of their producing efforts that led me to recently receive the Joe Franklin Memory Lane Memorial Award for “Excellence in Children’s Radio Broadcast” on the BBS Radio Network. The ongoing support that I receive from them is outstanding! They always go above and beyond.

I believe that BBS Radio would be a prime candidate for the GSA contract award. They are timely, knowledgeable, creative geniuses, informative and are the pioneers of the Internet Radio business. I look forward to working with BBS Radio Network in the foreseeable future and highly recommend their services to others.

Best Regards,

Randi Chenkin,

To Whom It May Concern

Re: BBS Radio Testimonial

I started out with a show on BBS radio when they were first getting started. Actually I partnered with Don Newsom, one of the owners of BBS and we did a show together called the "Don and Wynn Show". We talked about worldly and other worldly events. We did it every Saturday night.

Our first show was August 20 2005 and our last show was August 30, 2008. At the time we began doing this show, BBS was just starting. I think there were 3 shows total including the Don and Wynn show.

I watched the BBS network grow exponentially during the period we were doing the show and thereafter. I had built a substantial following as a result of being exposed on BBS.

After the Don and Wynn Show had run it's course, I decided to host my own show on Monday nights. People were becoming very interested in what I had to share and eventually I expanded to having shows on Wednesday evening and Sunday morning. I was doing 3 shows a week.

BBS was offering something other Internet stations were not, at a very competitive price. The shows were being produced with an engineer/producer and people could call in. All the shows were archived which greatly increased my listenership. In present time, the shows are being posted on iTunes as well as being syndicated and rebroadcast on other Internet Stations. I don't know how many people are actually listening but it's a lot.

I watched a number of new shows added over the years with most of the new hosts staying on board for a long time. Don and Doug are both professional and caring and do their best to make their shows highly professional and their hosts feel supported.

I highly recommend the services of BBS Radio to anyone looking to expand their reach in this market.

Hi,

I have been with them for about a year now and really enjoy working with them. They are professional in what they do provide me with a great way to reach out to the world with my message. The cost is so low that I wonder how they do it. I am planning on upgrading the show to stream live video!
