History
The Mike O'Meara Show was a nationally syndicated radio talk show featuring shock jocks Mike O'Meara, Buzz Burbank, and Robb Spewak. It succeeded the Don and Mike Show after Don Geronimo retired on April 11, 2008. Most stations which syndicated the previous show continued to air The Mike O'Meara Show via the CBS-owned Westwood One Radio Network. The show's flagship station was 106.7 WJFK in Washington, D.C. The show was named "Best Afternoon Drive Radio Show" in the 2008 Best of Northern Virginia list in Northern Virginia Magazine.
In July 2009, when its flagship station, 106.7 WJFK, was converted to an all-sports radio station by CBS Radio, The Mike O'Meara Show was discontinued on 106.7. Simultaneously, the Westwood One Radio Network ceased syndication of the show nationwide. The term of Mike O'Meara's contract with CBS Radio ended on December 1, 2009.
On December 7, 2009, The Mike O'Meara Show returned as a podcast, and broadcasted on terrestrial radio during the 5:00 drive slot on KCJJ in Coralville, Iowa, a former CBS affiliate of The Don and Mike Show.
The podcast format of The Mike O'Meara Show has taken on three incarnations. The Mike O'Meara Show is the daily podcast that is available for download around the world and kept broadcast friendly for airing on terrestrial radio. The Mike O'Meara Bonus Hour is a weekly podcast available via subscription, which is uncensored and the topics covered extend to those typically not allowed in radio or they take on a game format. The Mike O'Meara Show RAW started as a series of three one-hour long podcasts available via subscription, which covered topics of sex, porn and strippers. In the RAW 1.0 series, Mike and the gang entertained porn star Carmen Hart (Episode 2) and celebrated Robb's birthday by bringing in two dancers (Episode 3). The RAW series is intended to be an annual event.
This Week in O'Mearica launched on Friday, March 11, 2011. The one-hour weekly segment is hosted by Marc Ronick and R.J. Diaz. During this hour, Marc, R.J., and a handful of interns recap, evaluate and analyze the week of The Mike O'Meara Show.
O'Meara announced on his podcast on November 13, 2012, that "The Mike O'Meara Show" will be returning to the airwaves. O'Meara, along with Burbank, Spewak and Santana, will be returning on January 14, 2013 to talker WTNT, 730 AM/102.9 FM. Their show will run from 7pm to 9pm ET.

“As History stands, it is a sort of Chinese Play, without end and without lesson.”
