Captain Mel Berman has hosted
Florida's most popular outdoors radio talk show for more than 20 years. It has become a potent Saturday morning listening habit with thousands of residents via 970-WFLA’s 25-thousand watt signal blanketing all of West Central Florida. Covering successful fishing techniques, tackle and baits, the program also brings listeners up to speed on what's new and what's hot in the fishing world.
It is indeed a fishing show, but with a much broader mandate. The Captain Mel Show also takes a stand on vital fisheries and conservation issues. In fact, it's a talk show, just like the rest of 970 WFLA's programming, pushing the envelope and breaking new ground where fisheries and the environment issues are concerned. You'll hear the latest developments in fishery regulations, controversial issues, and the status of various species. Interestingly, a large proportion of Captain Mel's listeners are comprised of not only avid anglers, but also folks who don't fish, but find the show compelling and highly informative.
An expert angler and former charter skipper, Captain Mel is also a seasoned broadcaster with more than 30 years in radio and television.
