Back in Business: A locally produced program, “Consumer Business Radio,” is scheduled to return to the air with KWIZ-FM in Pasadena for a 26-week run. The program, to be broadcast during prime commuting hours of 3 to 5 p.m., quizzes local business people about their specialties.

A patent attorney or time study specialist, for example, will be invited to solve business problems, producer Barry Allen said. Specialists often pay for the opportunity to be on the show, he said.

Bob Gourley, operations manager for the station, said he and Allen are still working out the start date. The program had a 13-week run late last year.

Allen, 53, has been in radio for almost five years, producing similar advice programs for consumers and business owners. Before that, he owned a detective agency in Michigan. “It gave me a good idea about the innards of business,” Allen said.
