Roger Hedgecock Broadcasting Live on NewsRadio 1620


NewsRadio 1620’s nationally syndicated talk host Roger Hedgecock is coming back to Pensacola for two nights of special Florida Primary coverage.

Monday night you’re invited to sit in when Roger brings the nation to Northwest Florida, broadcasting live from 5 till 8 PM at Jerry’s Cajun Cafe on North Ninth Avenue in Pensacola. Complimentary appetizers, beverages, and three hours of politically-charged, conservative red, white and blue radio; and a prelude to what happens when the votes are counted on Tuesday across Florida, and only on NewsRadio 1620.

We’ll see you this Monday, January 30 from 5 till 8 PM at Jerry’s Cajun Cafe, 6205 North Ninth Avenue in Pensacola, Florida.

Larry Butler, Legendary Music Producer, Dies at the Age of 69


Larry Butler, a familiar voice to NewsRadio1620 listeners as the host of the Larry Butler Show from 2007 through 2009.  Whether he was reminiscing about the recording of The Gambler with Kenny Rogers, talking about the great meal he had at the Fish House, or just listening to you tell him how your day was going, he was a joy to talk to and as humble as he was talented.  He died at his home on Friday, January 20th.  He will be missed.
