Radio career [edit]

Schlessinger with Nikki Hornsby in 2009. Schlessinger used Hornsby's song "Hot Talkin' Big Shot" for several years as theme music

Schlessinger's first advent on radio was in 1975 when she called in to a KABC bear witness hosted by Bill Ballance. Impressed by her quick wit and sense of humour, Ballance began featuring her in a weekly segment.^[24] Schlessinger'south stint on Ballance's evidence led to her ain shows on a series of modest radio stations. By 1979, she was on the air Lord's day evenings from 9:00 to midnight on KWIZ in Santa Ana, California. That yr, the Los Angeles Times described her show every bit dealing with all types of emotional problems, "though sexual practice therapy is the show'south major focus".^[25]

In the belatedly 1980s, Schlessinger was filling in for Barbara De Angelis' noon-time, relationship-oriented talk evidence in Los Angeles on KFI,^[2] while working weekends at KGIL in San Fernando. Her large break came when Emerge Jessy Raphael began working at ABC Radio, and Maurice Tunick, quondam vice president of talk programming for the ABC Radio Networks, needed a regular substitute for Raphael'southward evening personal-advice show. Tunick chose Schlessinger to make full in for Raphael.

Schlessinger began broadcasting a daily show on KFI, which was nationally syndicated in 1994^[26] by Synergy, a company owned past Schlessinger and her married man. In 1997, Synergy sold its rights to the evidence to Jacor Communications, Inc., for $71.5 million.^[2] Afterward, Jacor merged with Clear Channel Communications and a company co-endemic by Schlessinger, Accept On The Day, LLC, caused the product rights. The bear witness became a articulation effort between Have On The Day, which produced it, Talk Radio Network, which syndicated and marketed it to radio stations, and Premiere Radio Networks, (a subsidiary of Articulate Aqueduct), which provided satellite facilities and handled advertising sales. As of September 2009, Schlessinger broadcast from her dwelling house in Santa Barbara, California, with KFWB as her flagship station.^[27] Podcasts and live streams of the prove accept been available on her website for a monthly fee, and the prove was also on XM Satellite Radio.

At its peak, The Dr. Laura Program was the second-highest-rated radio show after The Rush Limbaugh Show, and was heard on more than 450 radio stations.^[15] Writing in 1998, Leslie Bennett described the popularity of the testify:

In an historic period of moral relativity, Dr. Laura'due south certitude compels ... Schlessinger's fervor is indisputably evangelical, and her listeners believe her to be a paragon, a beacon of hope and rectitude in a dissolute, degraded world.^[ii]

In 2010—her last year on terrestrial radio—she was still #5.^[28]

In May 2002, the show yet had an audition of more than 10 million, but had lost several meg listeners in the previous two years as it was dropped by WABC and other affiliates, and was moved from day to night in cities such equally Seattle and Boston. These losses were attributed in part to Schlessinger's shift from giving human relationship communication to lecturing on morality and conservative politics. Force per unit area from gay rights groups caused dozens of sponsors to drop the radio show, likewise.^[29] In 2006, Schlessinger's testify was beingness aired on about 200 stations.^[15] Every bit of 2009, information technology was tied for third place along with The Glenn Beck Program and The Savage Nation.^[30]

Schlessinger used "Hot Talkin' Big Shot", a song by country and blues vocalizer and songwriter Nikki Hornsby, for several years as cue music for her radio program and for a national radio commercial advertizing for the show.^[31] She likewise used "New Attitude" by Patti LaBelle.

On August 17, 2010, during an appearance on Larry Rex Live, Schlessinger announced the end of her radio prove, maxim that her motivation was to "regain her Starting time Amendment rights",^[7] and that she wanted to be able to say what is on her listen without "some special involvement group deciding this is a time to silence a vocalization of dissent."^[8] Several of her affiliates and major sponsors had dropped her testify after her on-air use of a racial epithet on August 10 (encounter §Use of racial slur beneath).^{[32] [33]} Specifically, she said, "[n-word north-word northward-give-and-take] is what you hear [in rap]."

On Jan 3, 2011, Schlessinger's show moved exclusively to Sirius XM Radio.^[34]

She currently offers a curt podcast of the "Phone call of the Day" from her SiriusXM daily show, and it is ranked in the elevation 25 "Kids and Family" podcasts on iTunes^[35]

Television evidence [edit]

In 1999, Schlessinger signed a deal with Paramount Domestic Television to produce a syndicated talk show titled Dr. Laura, which was carried in major markets by CBS's endemic and operated stations and in 96% of the nation's markets overall for fall 2000.^[36] This was viewed as something of a coup past Paramount, as they felt that a popular personality such as Schlessinger could exist the spark they needed to sell themselves as a daytime syndication powerhouse rivaling Rex Globe and Warner Bros. Television, which distributed the pop topical talk testify The Oprah Winfrey Testify and the variety talk show The Rosie O'Donnell Evidence.^[36]

Leading up to the September 11, 2000, premiere of Dr. Laura, Schlessinger created a pregnant amount of controversy. In the months before the premiere of her Idiot box show, Schlessinger chosen homosexuality a "biological fault", said that homosexuality was acceptable as long as it was not public, and said that homosexuals should adopt older children. She also expressed her view that "a huge portion of the male person homosexual populace is predatory on young boys."^[37] Schlessinger was frequently criticized in LGBT media for these views. Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, an LGBT media watchdog group, began monitoring Schlessinger'southward on-air comments almost LGBT people, posting transcripts of relevant shows on its website.

In March 2000, a group of gay activists launched StopDrLaura.com, an online campaign with the purpose of convincing Paramount to cancel Dr. Laura prior to its premiere.^{[38] [39] [xl]} The group protested at Paramount studios, stating her views were offensively narrow-minded. StopDrLaura.com organized protests in 34 cities in the U.S. and Canada,^{[41] [42]} and picked up on an advertiser cold-shoulder of the radio and the Tv shows started by another grass-roots organization which called itself "Silence Of The Slams" operating its cold-shoulder through AOL Hometown.^[43]

On Yom Kippur in 2000, Dr. Laura said she "deeply [regretted] the hurt this state of affairs has caused the gay and lesbian customs" and asked for forgiveness, while abnegation from offering a retraction of her words.^[44]

Dr. Laura premiered to low ratings and unkind reviews. Critics and viewers complained that the format had been dumbed down and did not stand out from any other daytime talk show. The biting rhetoric that worked well on radio seemed overly harsh for face-to-face discourse, owing to the normal sympathetic nature of most other daytime hosts; the radical alter in Schlessinger's demeanor from her radio persona left viewers cold. The boob tube show failed to generate the energy and involvement of Schlessinger'southward radio show.^[45]

The credibility of Schlessinger's television program also suffered during its showtime calendar month, when the New York Post reported that Schlessinger had used prove staff to falsely pose as guests on the show. A September 25, 2000, episode named "Readin', Writin', and Cheatin'" featured a so-called college student who specialized in professional person note-taking. On the next day'south show, "Getting to the Altar," the same guest appeared in different hair and makeup and said she was a woman living with her boyfriend. In fact, the woman was San-D Duchas, a researcher for the show whose name appeared in the endmost credits of the shows on which she posed as a guest.^[46]

By November 2000, advertisers that had committed to Schlessinger's testify had pulled their support due to plummeting ratings.^[47] CBS was displeased enough with the ratings that it began looking to either drop the series or movement it to late-night slots on its stations within two months of its premiere.^[48] Other stations exterior of CBS did the aforementioned thing, while others moved it to weaker sister stations. Dr. Laura aired its terminal starting time-run episode on March 30, 2001, on the stations that continued to air it, with reruns continuing until September 2001.

In 2004, Schlessinger said that although the coin and glory in television is greater, it is not every bit meaningful or intimate every bit radio, and for her, boob tube was a "terrible experience".^[47]
