Dawson McAllister Live

3 hours live with 2 hour repeat 9pm-2am central time

Dawson McAllister Live is a call-in talk show about real issues facing teens and 20 somethings today. The stories are raw and unrehearsed from real people dealing with issues like abuse, pregnancy, addiction, and more and they all have one thing in common - they need to talk about it. Dawson gives clear, caring, common-sense advice in a fast paced non-stop caller after caller format. It's highly-produced, highly-interactive compelling content that is unduplicated. Dawson's number one goal is to help his listeners find hope; great ratings and TSL have been an excellent byproduct of this goal as well as countless stories of heart-warming hope and recovery.
