Deminski & Doyle is a popular and award-winning talk radio program hosted by Jeff Deminski and Bill Doyle on New Jersey 101.5 FM. The show began broadcasting at WKRK-FM on August 23, 1999, after several years at Trenton, New Jersey station New Jersey 101.5 WKXW, where Deminski and Doyle began their on-air partnership in 1993.〔(Talk Radio People Index )〕 Two long-time associates of the show also often appeared on air. Rudy DeSantis, the show's call screener, was often the butt of the hosts' good-natured jokes (along with Nicole Salem, the show's traffic reporter). Rudy is also the lead singer for the Detroit-area rock band, MindCandy. Beaver (whose real name, Bill Tortoriello,〔(WCSX: "Where's Da Beaver" (podcast) 12-FEB-2009 ) . Retrieved April 19, 2009.〕 was rarely mentioned) was the long-time Executive Producer of the show and often participated in wacky on-air stunts, such as getting drunk on the air or dressing up in costumes (a beaver costume stunt was the source of his nickname). Prior to working at WKRK, Beaver worked with Deminski & Doyle as a phone screener at WKXW in New Jersey. The show previously aired weekdays from 3PM to 7PM on Live 97.1 Free FM (WKRK) in Detroit, Michigan. Beginning at 3PM on October 1, 2007, 97.1 flipped to an all-sports format (save for D&D) and was rebranded as "Detroit's Sports Powerouse 97.1 FM & 1270 AM" (rebranded as "97.1 The Ticket" ) WKRK-FM changed to WXYT-FM; a simulcast of 1270-WXYT-AM was launched and "D&D" began airing between 6 AM and 10 AM during the morning drive, competing against rival station WRIF's Drew and Mike show.〔(Detroit Free Press: ''Deminski & Doyle to host morning show on both stations'' )〕 They were unable to come to terms with CBS Radio for a new contract during the following months, and after more than eight years in Detroit, they were not on the air in 2008. On November 29, 2007, it was reported that their final show on WXYT would be on December 14, 2007, as they look to find "greener pastures."〔(Detroit Free Press: ''Deminski & Doyle set a departure date'' )〕 During the December 2, 2007, broadcast, Deminski and Doyle did not implicitly confirm their resignation, but they alluded to the fact that they might not be around forever and that they "had a good run." They denied the reports by their agent, Mike Novak, that they referred to CBS as "Cheap Beyond Suspicion," and that they decided to leave the station due to salary issues. Today, they broadcast their show from New Jersey 101.5. ==Departure from WXYT== The last live broadcast of D&D was on December 7, 2007; their show was put into repeats ("Best-Of") starting on December 10, 2007, a week earlier than the hosts had planned. In a blog interview on December 13, 2007, with former WKRK personality Gregg Henson, Deminski implied that the show will not be returning to WXYT in 2008. On December 18, 2007, Mike Novak, the agent for Deminski and Doyle, reported that "officially, Deminski and Doyle has left the station and they will not be back on the air on CBS in Detroit."〔(Detroit Free Press: ''Deminski and Doyle done in Detroit'' )〕 All references to Deminski and Doyle have been removed from the WXYT website, including the removal of Bill Doyle's name as a co-host to his weekend video game-themed show, Pwned Radio. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Deminski & Doyle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
