“The DJV Show,” hosted by Doug Stephan, will have a new home as it joins the USA Radio Network. Furthermore, the move returns the program to its initial name, “Good Day,” and merges it with USA’s show “Daybreak.”
“We’ve been hearing from some of our more than 300 affiliates of their frustration with how negative many news/talk programs have become,” Stephan said, per Radio Online.
“This move enables us to continue to present the news you need to know, along with our opinions in addition to the positives that we see every day.”
The program that Stephan first debuted in 1988 will continue to air in the morning and remains organized to time-shift to different dayparts. Stephan’s Good Day, with co-host Jai Kershner, officially relaunches on June 13.
“I’m excited to welcome Doug and Good Day to the USA Radio Network family. Doug’s is an iconic fixture in morning radio throughout the country and we look forward to working with Doug and The Good Day Team.
“The lifestyle, non-political content that Good Day offers, is something that we feel more stations will welcome during a time when there is so much going on in the world and in our society. Doug and Good Day will serve as the cornerstone for an exciting growth plan for the network and is our first programming change and show addition since acquiring the network in December of 2021.”
