History
Derringer started as an operator in 1979 at CFTR (AM) in Toronto, followed by on-air work at CKJD Sarnia, CFGO Ottawa and K97 Edmonton. He joined Q107 for the first time in 1984 and stayed until 1993. From 1993-1995 he was the morning host at CHOM-FM Montreal. He went on to host Jock and Roll, a 90-second segment which featured a pre-recorded interview with an athlete or a rock musician. Jock and Roll was syndicated to more than 20 radio stations across Canada. In 1995, he took over Bob McCown's morning show at Toronto's sports radio station The Fan 590. For almost 5 years he hosted the Fan morning show with Pat Marsden.
Derringer returned to CILQ-FM in 2000, replacing Howard Stern as the morning host. For a short time he supplemented his duties with an afternoon show for brother station CFMJ (Mojo Radio).
