Summer Shot: Radio Talent On 'Dish Nation' TV

Can lively radio make for good television? The Fox Television Stations group is going to find out this summer with “Dish Nation,” a half-hour weeknight show that will package clips from four radio programs around the country.

According to a story by Lee Marguiles at latimes.com, It's being billed as an “entertainment news program featuring … a fast-paced, unscripted take on pop culture, celebrity scandals and salacious, headline-grabbing conversations.”

Among the radio personalities involved is Felli Fel of L.A. hip-hop station KPWR-FM (106.7), along with program hosts in New York (Scott Shannon and Todd Pettengill of WPLJ-FM), Atlanta (Rick Smiley of WHTA-FM) and Detroit (Blaine Fowler and Allyson Martinek of WDVD-FM).

“Dish Nation” will get a six-week tryout on Fox-owned stations starting July 25. It will air on Fox stations in New York, LA, Detroit, Baltimore, Atlanta, Phoenix and Washington, D.C.
