Here's what they're sayin'... "Al Murdoch and 98.9 ZED FM have just marked a decade together, so when it came time to re-image sister station KG Country 95-5 FM, no voice would do if we couldn’t have Al’s. Murdoch’s range in delivery from our Rock FM to the Country FM is simply amazing, and in my opinion UN-rivaled! Sometimes you just can’t get enough of a good thing.” "Murdoch’s incredible pipes make even the most flaccid ad copy sound robust; the most unworthy products sell “through the roof!” He reads my 40 second scripts in 30 without sounding rushed and can say $399 as if it were only $299. Besides all that, Al’s the nicest guy you’ll ever work with!" “Here at Rooster Country 106, we were looking to make our imaging sound more upbeat and even edgy at times..... After hearing Al Murdoch, I knew he's was our man! We've been moving steadily up in the ratings and I know it has a lot to do with his pipes. No ego, easy to work with, that's Big Al!” Kevin Anderson/P.D. WSTH-FM/Columbus, GA “Al Murdoch is The Man! He's a top notch voice and his promptness is impeccable.....the fact that Al's a great guy is a bonus!” Stu Ferguson/P.D. CFUN-AM/Vancouver, B.C. |
