D&D - Blast From the Past #8

The Deminski and Doyle Show has had a run on three radio stations (so far) and they've been fortunate enough to have had the chance to say "goodbye" on two of them -- screw you, CBS! From what I can surmise from the audio clips I've heard, the on-air stories I've heard over the years in Detroit, and the Wayback Machine, Jeff and Bill left WKXW voluntarily in 1999 in order to take a better gig in Detroit. "Live 97.1" was apparently a pioneer in the late 90's; Howard Stern's top-rated syndicated show and D&D's brand of "intellectual humor" helped put WKRK on the map -- for a few years, at least. When Howard left, non-political, non-sports FM Talk seemed to turn into a late-stage fad in Detroit. Regardless, D&D were a drive-time ratings giant during a large part of the last decade; there weren't many other entertaining options other than music in the afternoon (at least until satellite radio got big).

Here is the final couple segments from D&D's last show in New Jersey; we just went through the final show on WCSX earlier this month, and starting next week, we'll be featuring their final run on WXYT from October-December 2007.
