Same host. More than 45 years. Free.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sb-report-copy\">\n<p><strong>Tom Martino<\/strong> is America\u2019s original Troubleshooter. He has been fighting for consumers since the early 1970s \u2014 first in newspapers, then television, then the radio show that still airs every weekday. That show is widely called the <strong>longest-running radio talk show in America with the same host still on the air<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It is not a chat show. Callers come on with a contractor who took the deposit, a dealer who will not fix the car, a bill that will not die. Tom and co-host <strong>Marc Mager<\/strong> use the microphone the way other people use a lawyer\u2019s letter: they call the other side, live, and they do not hang up because it is uncomfortable. <strong>Tom Martino<\/strong> calls it media with a purpose. Listeners call it Reality Radio.<\/p>\n<p>The flagship is Talk Radio <strong>630 KHOW<\/strong> in Denver, weekdays. The same program streams on iHeartRadio, YouTube, Facebook, and as a podcast. That is how a local rip-off becomes a public problem.<\/p>\n<h2>What the years produced<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Tom Martino<\/strong> came to Denver in 1981 for KCNC-TV and KOA Radio, then years on Fox 31, plus the radio show that never stopped. Across radio, TV, and this network the work has helped recover <strong>more than $300 million<\/strong> in cash, refunds, repairs, merchandise, and finished jobs for people who did not have a PR firm.<\/p>\n<p>You do not pay for that. The help is free. The airtime is free. The pressure is free. That is the point.<\/p>\n<h2>How we can help you<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Hear the story and tell you if it belongs on the show, in a Sleaze Brigade file, or with an agency.<\/li>\n<li>Call the company when the facts are solid.<\/li>\n<li>Put the problem in front of a live audience if that is what moves it.<\/li>\n<li>Point you to <a href=\"https:\/\/referrallist.com\/\">ReferralList.com<\/a>, the vetted side of this work: contractors and shops that have been checked, plus numerous attorneys and other experts who help people get out of a mess.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We are not a law firm and we do not take every fight. Thin stories, inflated numbers, and grudges without proof die here. Real ones get a call back from the show.<\/p>\n<p>Call the show: <strong>303-MARTINO<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Want it on the public list?
