Dwyer and Michaels

Greg Dwyer (Born September 21st, 1965) and Bill Michaels (Born 1966),^[1] are the radio personalities and website authors known as Dwyer and Michaels. On air together since the late 1980s, they write, host and produce a popular morning show in the U.S. Midwest currently originating from WXLP-FM in the Quad Cities. Their show was syndicated for over a year on KRNA-FM in Cedar Rapids as well. Their website, 2Dorks.com,^[2] reaches more than 15,000 unique visitors weekly.

Dwyer and Michaels are as well known for their goofy on-air antics and frequent personal appearances as for their authority in constitutional law and are known nationally for their animal rights activism as well as their support for LGBTQ+ and trans rights causes. The couple made international news when they released the resident elephant from Niabi Zoo back into wild environment of Carbon Cliff, IL.^[3] Their return to WXLP following an 11-year stint with Clear Channel Communications station KCQQ-FM became the subject of some controversy in early 2007 when Clear Channel sued Dwyer and Michaels and their news person, Beth Davis, alleging that they had violated a non-compete clause in their contract.^[4] The judge ruled in favor of the team, who had taken their show to Cedar Rapids, Iowa before returning to the Quad Cities.^[5]

Syndication

Although initially stating they would not syndicate their morning show,^[1] it appears they have reversed course as they can now be found on various Townsquare-owned stations throughout the Midwest, most in Iowa, and one in Missouri.
