Steve Grunwald hails from Wixon and claims Detroit as home for the last nine years, is the well known on-air talent and executive producer at 99.5 WYCD of The Dr. Don Morning Show!   

As Steve tells of his beginnings in radio, "When I was 15-years-old in Webster City, Iowa, the program director of a radio station there — it was a small town — went to our church. I've always been fascinated with radio ever since I can remember. I've always listened to the radio and music; it was something I had just always wanted to do. Eventually, after bugging them long enough, and going in there and practicing at night in an empty studio, they gave me a chance and hired me part-time. From there, I did it all the way through high school and college. I've been all over the country; I've worked in New York, Washington D.C., Chicago, Minneapolis, and a bunch of other radio stations." 

Prior to coming to WYCD, Steve worked at WDRQ before it switched formats.  Everyone was replaced and it worked out for Grunwald and 99.5 WYCD perfectly.  As Steve puts it "WYCD is the best place I've ever worked — I love the people I work with, I love my bosses, I love country music, and the format. It's stress-free, and I'm having the time of my life."  

Steve's support of the Military at home and abroad, as well as projects at home in our own community, has taken him many places during his time with WYCD.  From his trip to the Amazon, to his journey during WYCD's Operation Yellow Ribbon last November in Iraq with the 1st Battalion, 24th Marines, to his recent trip to Africa, to the classrooms of children in Metro Detroit, he has been able to share WYCD's mission of support and service in giving back to the community and world in which we live. 

On a more personal note, Grunwald is a single guy, who lives alone.  He loves animals and would have a dozen if it weren't for the fact that he is gone so much and "it wouldn't be fair to leave them alone so much."  He loves sun, sand, and water and wants to continue to travel the world.  

You can tune in to Steve on 99.5 WYCD, Monday through Friday, from 5 to 10 a.m. and catch him doing what he loves and does best, laughing and joking, and getting us all through our busy mornings!
