On Air – Steve Marshall
Weekdays 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

I was born in Utica, raised in Sterling Heights, and I am proud to be an East side baby!

I graduated from Sterling Heights High School class of 1988. Started in radio right out of high school working for WDFX (The Fox) as an intern… aka answering phones, getting coffee and things like that. I've spent time in Grand Rapids, Flint, and Toledo where I lived for 13 years. I'm back in the Detroit area, and it feels good to be home in the D with my Lions and Wings. Other than working at 96.3 WDVD I do public speaking, and occasionally Ghost Hunt (hey, it's an excuse to run around abandon buildings at 3 a.m. with cool gadgets!)
