The OPEN LINE Show is hosted by Bob Slade, James Mtume and Bob Pickett. Open Line is a "live" call in show (2 hours) which airs on Sunday mornings beginning at 10 a.m. to 12 noon on 50 thousand watt WRKS-FM, aka KISS-FM / 98.7 on the FM dial, reaching the New York, New Jersey and Connecticut markets.

 The Open Line Show has been called by numerous leaders and journalists as “One of the most important talk shows in America... Its impact is enormous,” and ranked by Talkers Magazine as one of the top 100 Talk Shows in America. Open Line is the most listened to talk show in the tri-state area with a 12+ share in its time slot. Open Line has won the 1998 & 2002 New York Metro A.I.R. Award for the “Best Public Affairs Show” in the New York Market.
