Danny D!

Danny D! began working as a deejay for a roller skating rink in Great Falls and never thought it would lead him to the career he enjoys so much today. As a sophomore in high school, Danny D! began working weekends for a radio station called K99. After only a few months, he was given the opportunity to host a contemporary Christian show called ‘The Light’ it was his first show and after only a short period of time, ‘The Light’ become the number one show in Great Falls on Sunday mornings. The radio station’s manager was thrilled with the results and offered Danny D! the evening announcer position a few months later.

For the next three years, Danny D! attended high school at CM Russell in Great Falls and continued working as the evening announcer on K99. The almost perfect chemistry of a high school student hosting a show geared toward teens helped K99 garner some of the best ratings in the station’s history – seventy percent of radio listeners in Great Falls were listening to K99 every night.

After graduating from high school in 2000, Danny D! attended college at the University of Montana and worked as the afternoon announcer on StarFM in Missoula until 2003 when he was offered a position as station manager for a radio station in Billings called The Zone. In 2005, Danny D! returned to the radio waves in Missoula as program director and morning host for StarFM.

On March 1st 2011, Danny D! accepted a position with Townsquare Media as morning host on 101.5 The View and mid-day host on 107.5 Zoo-FM. Danny D! says, “One of the greatest advantages of working in radio is connecting with people; whether it’s a listener or a celebrity, I’m always meeting interesting people.”
