History
The Mikey Show earns its name from show host Mikey. He has worked in radio his entire adult life all over the country, from Rochester, New York; to Dallas, Texas.
The Mikey Show previously aired on KSJO in San Jose and KEGL in Dallas, Texas but was let go from both stations after creating a controversial parody song. Esparza did the evening slot on KIOZ from 7:00 p.m. to 12:00 am from the late 1990s until 2004, broadcasting to both San Jose and Dallas via satellite. His stint in the evening slot ended a week after he started broadcasting the morning drive in early 2004 and was fired for a stint he did about kidnapping victim Erica Pratt. His return to San Diego came on the heels of Howard Stern’s departure for satellite radio where he quickly established a loyal fan base known as the “P1s”and became the highest rated morning show in San Diego. The show aired on KIOZ until late December 2009 when it was announced that Esparza would not be given a chance to renew his contract. His former cast remained at KIOZ to and continued their own show now entitled The Show on January 4, 2010.
On January 12, 2010, it was announced on mikeyshow.com that The Mikey Show has moved to 94.9. The Mikey Show debuted live on February 1, 2010.
On March 07, 2012 it was announced that The Mikey Show was no longer on 94.9. FM 94/9’s senior V.P. and general manager Rick Jackson announced March 07 at 8:00 a.m. via a taped statement that its morning-talk Mikey Show would no longer be a part of the station’s morning drive-time lineup.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The one duty we owe to history is to rewrite it.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
“Look through the whole history of countries professing the Romish religion, and you will uniformly find the leaven of this besetting and accursed principle of action—that the end will sanction any means.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
