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 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.

Show Features:

Dawson's Blog: Dawson blogs on the most popular issues each week, and gives listeners the chance to interact with him on the topic on-air and online.

Rockumentaries: We match the lyrics of one of the format's hottest hits and mix it with a recent call of the show. The segment comes to life as listeners go deeper into an issue that they can relate to and the relevance of that issue in relation to their favorite song.

Facebook: Dawson interacts with listeners via his Facebook page and reads their comments on-air. Whether it's a question for Dawson or insight for another listener, this gives everyone a chance to be a part of the show!

180s: This feature highlights a caller's story who made positive choices and turned their life around with the help of Dawson and TheHopeLine staff.

Artist Interviews: Dawson talks to the stars about life's challenges.

Peer 2 Peer: Throughout the show Dawson solicits the help of his audience on-the-fly asking what advice he should give to a caller via text and/or if they agree with him on his advice. It is a fun and interactive feature that allows listeners to have ownership and participation in the lives of their peers.

Dawson Text Alerts: Listeners can now text to subscribe to alerts from Dawson himself sent directly to their cell phone! This includes insider info on Dawson's blog topic, current promotions, and more!

On Demand Text Help: We continually promote ways for listeners to get help ON DEMAND via text. For example, if a listener is dealing with pregnancy they can text in a keyword and we bounce back instant information on where to go to get help.

Dawson Call Back: Listeners can text in and Dawson will call them back on their schedule.

ShowStopper: We offer a before and after look at a recent impactful call on the show, and showcase how Dawson and our partners were able to help the caller reach a better place in their life.

24/5 HopeLine Phone & Chat Availability: Beginning Sunday night through Friday night, help is available to listeners 24 hours per day. Listeners can either call Dawson's off-air HopeLine (1800-394-HOPE) or chat live at www.TheHopeLine.com with a trained staff member.
