The last Don and Mike Show aired last Friday. I guess you'd call them B-Team shock jocks. Syndicated out of WJFK in Washington they were broadcast on fifty-or-so mostly mid-market stations. I'd been listening here in Harrisburg since around 1990. I believe I heard them the first time on 93.5 FM but most of the last twenty years they've spent on AM talkers, ultimately finding a drive-time home on 1350 out of York. No signal up here after dark.
Don's wife was killed in a nightmare car crash outside of Ocean City in 2005. She was an integral part of the show. Incredibly, Don went back on the radio in less than a month. His first show back was simply heart-wrenching. He was always willing to bare every emotion on radio. That's a large part of what made the show great.
But he never really made it back emotionally and has now decided to hang it up for a while. Mike continues on. His solo show is different but has been unexpectedly good in the first week. (1350 AM 3-7 PM)
Here's the song Don chose to open their last show. Perfect as usual.
