10/1: A talk with Billy Bush now on Q100
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Billy Bush, seen daily at 7 p.m. on WAGA-TV as host of “Access Hollywood,” is trying to emulate Ryan Seacrest by dabbling in radio, too. Bush can now be heard on a syndicated nightly show on Q100 from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m.
“There’s something so much more visceral about radio,” Bush told me Tuesday, before interviewing Jenny McCarthy. “And it’s much harder than reading a teleprompter.”
He said radio is another outlet to break news and do post celebrity interviews that can’t be done on camera. He also said he’s not going to just regurgitate stories from the Web or other TV shows. He’ll be able to get info himself using the resources of the 200 employees at “Access,” which draws about 4 million viewers a night.
On Q100, so far, he is doing mostly pre-taped pop culture bits a few times an hour between songs. “The best thing the show brings to Q100 is we get world-class interviews,” said operations manager Rob Roberts. “He has a presence and first-hand knowledge most radio stations don’t get.”

Billy Bush was on the radio LONG before he was on TV. Used to be on in DC back in 2000 when I lived there. During the election, he would talk about the family, etc.
