Before entering talk radio in 2002, he had stints as a disc jockey at WCLG-FM in Morgantown, West Virginia, (as "Andrew Steele")[5] and at WMRQ in Hartford, Connecticut (as "Wilkow").
When WMRQ switched format from alternative rock to hip hop, he moved into talk radio full-time when he filled the 5-7 p.m. shift on WGY in October 2003.
[6][self-published source] After becoming a ratings success, Wilkow moved to the 9-11:40 a.m. slot in May 2005, replacing Glenn Beck, when WGY wanted to clear the third hour of Sean Hannity.
"[8] Wilkow currently hosts a three-hour session beginning at 9 A.M. West/12 P.M. East Monday-Friday, with replays after Rusty Humphries in the evenings and on weekends.
On his radio program airing that same day, Wilkow cited the reason for his desire to spend more time with his children.
