Mike Stone (radio personality)

[3] In 1994, Stone had applied to become a radio host at the new all-sports radio station WDFN, initially assigned to do the evening show with Ike "Mega Man" Griffin, but was moved to do the afternoon show, The Odd Couple,[4] after sports columnist Rob Parker's co-host bailed at the last second.

[5] The three-hour radio broadcast saw much success with Stone being regarded as a distinct, entertaining straight man, and knowledgeable on-air presence that represented the market.

[6] The radiothon typically took place inside a Metro Detroit restaurant, with many guest appearances including Tony Dungy, Joe Dumars, and many others.

[8] The three-hour afternoon show would eventually come to an end on January 20, 2009, when Clear Channel decided to gut all of WDFN's local programming for syndicated radio during the first inauguration of Barack Obama,[3] and the time slot was eventually filled by Matt Shepard and Drew Sharp in September 2009.

[14] Then on August 23, 2023, it was announced that Stone would step down from his position as full-time morning show host after the 2023 NFL season,[15] set to be replaced by Jim Costa.
