The Schnitt Show is a talk radio show hosted by Todd Schnitt, who also hosts the MJ Morning Show. It is transmitted from and airs in Tampa, Florida. It is also syndicated to stations in Miami, Florida, Birmingham, Alabama and Charleston, South Carolina, as well as on XM Satellite Radio.

The show began in October 2001 on Miami's legendary local news-talker WIOD, in the afternoon drive slot. During this post-9/11 period, radio was scrambling for more national news and talk programs, which helped jump-start the careers of hosts like Glenn Beck. During the 2001 months, Schnitt continued to do the Miami talk show out of a studio at Tampa's WFLA radio station. In 2002, WFLA's afternoon personality, Glenn Beck, was picked up by Premiere Radio Networks for national syndication in mid-mornings. WFLA moved the Beck show from 9 a.m. to noon, and Schnitt was given the afternoon drive time slot on his own flagship station. Since then, Schnitt has continued to deliver strong numbers and listeners for WFLA, and even WIOD. Unfortunately, the Schnitt Show has been unsuccessfully syndicated to other cities in the south, such as WBZY in Atlanta, WFLF in Orlando, and WOAI in San Antonio, who have since dropped the show. The show was also played on WSRQ in Sarasota and Bradenton, Florida, while it was a simulcast of WFLA. Currently, the show is a strong performer on Charleston, South Carolina's WSCC, and has also been added to WERC in Birmingham, Alabama. The show plans to add Biloxi-Gulfport-Pascagoula, Mississippi in the future as well.

Due to the show's afternoon drive time slot and news-talk format, Schnitt tries to follow and stay on top of any important late breaking news. He prefers to use the Fox News alert sound byte when news breaks. Commonly, he uses the alert sound byte several times in order to provide a sarcastic undertone to less serious stories.

The show follows an open-line format all the time. Callers are not required to talk about the topic at hand, although it is often preferred, and said topic usually engages the listeners the most.
