History

The Woody Show began on January 3, 2006 at Live 105 in San Francisco, California with Jeff "Woody" Fife, Tony Mott, and Renae Ravey. Originally named The Morning Music Co-Op, it was a replacement for Live 105's simulcast of The Howard Stern Show after Stern's move to satellite radio. The program was eventually rebranded and renamed after its three leads, and later rebranded again as simply The Woody Show, much to Woody's chagrin. Greg Gory and Jason "Menace" McMurray later joined The Woody Show from other positions at Live 105.

The show gathered strong ratings and a devoted fanbase, but the crew frequently butted heads off (and sometimes on) the air with executives at Live 105's parent company, CBS Radio. On April 1, 2009, Woody, Ravey, and Tony were terminated for airing a then-unreleased Green Day song, "Know Your Enemy," which resulted in the cancellation of The Woody Show by Live 105.[1] Subsequently, Woody moved to St. Louis, Missouri for the Woody and Rizzuto show on 105.7 The Point, followed by Ravey in 2013. Greg and Menace were not fired and remained at Live 105. Greg later moved on to work at KFOG in late 2011. Woody and Ravey left the Woody and Rizzuto show on April 1, 2014.

On April 21, 2014, Woody, Ravey, Greg, and Menace reunited for The Woody Show at ALT 98.7 in Los Angeles, California.[2] Tony Mott has not returned to radio since he was terminated by Live 105; he currently lives in St. Louis, Missouri and works at a cable company.

Executive Producer Sebastian "Sebas" Davis joined the Woody Show on April 6, 2015.[3] He was previously the Executive Producer at Rock 100.5 in Atlanta, Georgia.

On December 18, 2015, the cast of the show announced that they had reached an agreement with iHeart Media to keep the Woody Show in Los Angeles for another three years, through 2018.

On October 18, 2016, ALT 98.7 announced syndication of The Woody Show to the St. Louis, Missouri radio market, on ALT 104.9 FM from 6am to 10am.[4][5] The show is also expected to be syndicated to various regional radio markets. As part of the show's arrival in St. Louis, Tony Mott is slated to return.
