Since late December 2012, Baumann has hosted with comedian Bill Crawford and sportscaster Mike Prisuta with news anchor Val Porter departing the show in January 2024.
Roach and Hansen re-established comedy and local music promotion on Pittsburgh morning radio, elements that had been absent from the region's airwaves for quite some time.
They helped to promote the careers of Pittsburgh area acts like the Iron City Houserockers, the Granati Brothers, Donnie Iris and the Cruisers and B. E. Taylor Group.
This formula of comedy, talk and local music helped to make the show and station extremely popular in the region.
At the end of 1999, Scott Paulsen decided to not renew his contract and leave WDVE and the Morning Show (he would return later in 2000 until 2006 as a DJ).
After interviewing several candidates, Krenn and WDVE selected Erie, Pennsylvania native and radio personality Randy Baumann.
[5][6] Krenn would eventually return to Pittsburgh radio, albeit on a weekly basis, joining Larry Richert and John Shumway on Fridays from 8:00-9:00 am on KDKA-AM.
[7] During Krenn's dispute with WDVE and parent company Clear Channel Communications, the program returned to the air from its holiday break with Baumann, Val Porter and Mike Prisuta, again retitled The DVE Morning Show.
[8] On January 31, 2014, Scott Paulsen again signed off from the Morning Show, two years after he returned to the station., citing he wanted to spend more time on his farm and, jokingly, become a woman.
Most of these CDs did not remain in print for an extended period of time, and today Morning Show compilations have become collector's items.
