About the Show

The Driving Line is a fast paced, caller driven, one hour automotive repair talk show. The show is information-driven and entertainment-friendly The Driving Line is a direct reflection of Ken Gamble’s eclectic personality. It is not unusual for Gamble to be talking with a caller about a fuel injection system and wind up the conversation with a discussion of baseball, politics, or The Boston Pops. Though the show is caller driven, Gamble always remains in control. He accomplishes this task by leading the listeners to current or topical subjects, (otherwise he might be talking about 1973 AMC Pacer carburetors all day). Gamble does this by bringing the latest automotive news into a program segment News items can be anything from what is the most likely car to be stolen to recall information. Other elements that keep the show fresh include things like the Auto Nostalgia Quiz, special guest appearances, comical banter between Gamble and the producer (or whoever happens to be in the studio), and most certainly the musical interludes in and out of commercial breaks. Gambles musical library carries every thing from Johann Sebastian Bach to CCR. All of this makes for an entertaining and educational hour of programming. What better way to fill your Saturday morning time slot.


About the Host

Ken Gamble was born and reared in New Jersey and, as a teenager, took a job at a service station/garage learning the art of automotive repair under the tutorial of an able and quite patient master mechanic . As a young man in his twenties, Gamble moved to South Carolina in response to job opportunities. He quickly progressed from mechanic to managerial positions within a few years and in the fall of 1986 he struck out on his own. With no financial backing and little more than sheer determination and a set of tools, Gamble turned one old service station into one of the largest chains of independently owned automotive repair shops in the county in less then ten years.In 1991, he was invited as a guest on a local talk radio program to answer questions about automotive repair. The response by the listeners was overwhelming. Soon he was hosting a two hour Saturday morning talk radio program. The Driving Line was born.
