Six years after retiring from mornings at iHeartMedia Country 102.1 WDRM Huntsville AL, Dan McClain is returning the the station’s lineup from 1-3pm.
McClain hosted mornings at WDRM from 1992 until retiring in April 2020. He came out of retirement in 2024 to host afternoons on Classic Hits “100.3 The River” WQRV Meridianville and will continue on that station from 3-7pm. His return to WDRM comes with a full lineup revamp following the exit of morning host Spencer Graves from the station and “102.5 The Bull” WDXB Pelham/Birmingham as part of the company’s June cuts.
Premiere Networks’ Bobby Bones Show debuted in mornings today on both WDRM and WDXB after previously airing in nights on both. Former morning co-host Blair Davis returns to Huntsville where she will be heard on WDRM from 9am to 1pm weekdays and WQRV from 12-3pm weekdays.
Davis wrote, “One of my favorite things about radio has always been being local — talking about our community, our people, our businesses and all the things happening right here at home. This next chapter gives me an opportunity to do that in an even bigger way. New schedule. New adventure. Same me. Thanks for continuing to listen, follow along and letting me be a small part of your daily routine.”
Regarding McClain, Davis posted, “I can honestly say that one of the most exciting parts about these changes at 102.1 WDRM is getting to share the studio with the legendary Dan McClain. I know I have told the story before, but growing up listening to WDRM, and specifically Dan was such a huge part of why I wanted to get in this crazy world of radio to begin with. I called in one time to talk to Dan and he told me to call him any time, and I took him up on that for sure. In 2014 I got to intern for WDRM and this guy was the first man to ever give me a chance behind the mic, and the rest is history. I never thought we would talk him into coming out of retirement, but we did, and I TRULY couldn’t be more grateful to have some an icon person as my mentor but more importantly my friend. I have had the honor to learn so much from Dan and now get to continue to learn from him and what a blessing that is. Dan will be on every day from 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm – so help me welcome him back!”
