The John Tesh Radio Show 'Adopts' the Cities of Slidell, LA and Long Beach, MS

Following a Trip to Devastated Gulf Coast, Syndicated Radio Program Host Commits to Sponsorship of Two Hard-Hit Communities

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Slidell, Louisiana and Long Beach, Mississippi; both struggling, both hurting and both working toward recovery. These two suburbs of larger cities, New Orleans and Biloxi respectively, have something else in common -- The John Tesh Radio Show -- which has dedicated its energy, its affiliate stations and its network of associates and listeners nationwide toward helping these communities survive and thrive.

John Tesh flew to the Gulf Coast last week to assist in the massive relief efforts. The majority of his time was spent in the two towns of Slidell and Long Beach where John met hundreds of hurricane victims and pledged to use his popular radio program, syndicated in over 200 markets across America, to rally support and raise funds under the banner "Radio Relief."

The John Tesh Radio Show affiliate stations received John's live reports daily and have provided links to major fundraising efforts at www.tesh.com and www.teshradiorelief.com. Television outlets such as CNN and Entertainment Tonight, where John Tesh hosted for ten seasons, benefited from his coverage of these greatly distressed and hard to reach areas and are disseminating fundraising information.

John says, "Our listenership is very motivated to serve others. It's what we talk about every day on the radio. My job as host is to create specific opportunities for people to serve those affected by Hurricane Katrina. We have partners on the ground in Long Beach, MS and Slidell, LA and they will help us quickly identify critical needs. 100% of all funds donated at Tesh.com by our listeners and our sponsors are being used in relief efforts."
