Premiere Radio’s John Boy and Billy Surpass Half Million Dollar Mark for USO Fundraising
 Los Angeles, CA – Premiere Radio Networks’ syndicated hosts John Boy and Billy have reached a fundraising milestone of more than $550,000 in support of Operation USO Care Package, a program that encourages the public to support American men and women in uniform. The group has worked with the organization since 2003 and met this tremendous total by raising over $88,900 this year.
The hosts have increased donations each year by inviting soldiers, veterans and USO representatives as guests of the radio program to help spread the word about the USO and its projects. Listeners are encouraged to visit www.thebigshow.com where they can make a $25 donation to the cause, allowing them to sponsor a care package full of personal, requested supplies that will be delivered to deployed service men and women. USO care package donors are also encouraged to include a personal note to the recipient. John Boy and Billy’s The Big Show is nationally syndicated by Premiere Radio Networks in 100 markets, airing from 6:00 to 10:00 a.m. The team, sometimes referred to as the “High-Tech Rednecks,” have been working together since 1980, and are known for their uniquely Southern spin on mass-appeal morning radio, with a special emphasis on quirky characters and NASCAR coverage.
