Show History
The show originates right at WYCD, in January 1993 when they hired Dr. Don Carpenter for afternoons (3pm-7pm) at the then talker 99.5 WOW-FM. On May 28, 1993 at 3pm the station dropped the talk format for country with the station branding itself as "Young Country" Most of the airstaff was fired except for Jim "JD" Daniels, Bob Schuman, Mark Elliot, Todd Fowler and Dr. Don Carpenter. Doc stayed in the afternoon drive (3pm-7pm) for a few years. In May 1995, Young Country dropped its morning show The Moo Crew and moved Doc to mornings (5:30am-10am) on an interim basis. Joing the show was Linda Lee and newsman Bob Schuman. In November 1995 a new morning show was found, hosted by Joe Wade Formicola. Doc moved back to afternoons. Then in the November 1998, the then program director Lisa Rodman flipped flopped both the morning show (Eddie Haskell) and Doc moving Eddie Haskell to afternoons and moving Doc back to mornings with Linda Lee and Bob Schuman.
Then on May 26, 2000 Dr. Don's contract expired and he was let go from the station. General Manager Maureen Lesourd did not renue his contract because she was tired of his "Blue Humor" and wanted to move the morning show in a new direction. In late 2000 Doc found a morning gig, this time at B105.1 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Then in late 2004 The Dr. Don Show was ropped at B105.1.
A couple months later on March 7, 2005 Dr. Don returned to WYCD to host the morning show along with Lori Rigato, Tom Baker, Bob Schuman and Pete Collins. Then on November 25, 2005. program director Tim Roberts let go Lori Rigato, Pete Collins and Tom Baker. The search was on to find new co-hosts. On December 12, 2005, former 93.1DRQ morning co-hosts Rachael Hunter and Steve Grunwald became the new co-hosts of The Dr. Don Morning Show

Famous quotes containing the words show and/or history:
“Their looks show that they’re for it:
Ash hair, toad hands, prune face dried into lines
How can they ignore it?”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“If usually the “present age” is no very long time, still, at our pleasure, or in the service of some such unity of meaning as the history of civilization, or the study of geology, may suggest, we may conceive the present as extending over many centuries, or over a hundred thousand years.”
—Josiah Royce (1855–1916)
