built 628 days ago
[I]f film and TV aren’t enough, Steve Harvey stirred the helms of his popular daily morning drive radio show in Los Angeles, Calif., and Dallas, Texas. “The Steve Harvey Morning Show,” was on the air for five years and throughout its tenure, he boasted the ratings with loyal listeners. Some of his guests included chart topping artists, award winning celebrities, and American Idols. Today, his radio show is syndicated by Premiere Radio Networks and airs in more than 30 markets. He continues his unending pursuit and commitment to further opportunities in local schools with generous contributions from the Steve and Mary L. Harvey Foundation.

Steve Harvey hosted his own radio morning radio show, The Steve Harvey Morning Show, syndicated under Radio One, Inc. broadcasting company, from September 2000 till May 2005. The Los Angeles-based show, although fairly successful in the L.A. market itself, was not as successful in its national syndication efforts as either Harvey or Radio One had hoped it would be. Ultimately, the show aired only in L.A. on KKBT, and in Dallas on KBFB, with Harvey splitting his time between the Dallas and L.A. studios.

If 1995 was a busy year for Harvey, 1996 was a year in which he barely had time to sleep. In February of 1996 Harvey began hosting a morning radio show on Chicago's top-rated WGCI-FM. Harvey got up at 3:30 A.M. every Monday through Friday to host the daily program from his apartment in Los Angeles. Besides the radio program, his "Apollo" hosting duties, and a full slate of performances across the country, Harvey took on two new projects. He became a spokesperson for Denny's restaurants and was involved in all the company's media, including print, radio, and television advertising.

"What about divorce? What happened to that?
