The Dano Show: A Journey Through Radio History

In the summer of 1989, Dan Harrell commenced his inaugural full-time radio career at the age of fourteen. Since then, Dano has traversed the nation, broadcasting in numerous prominent cities. Following his departure from Townsquare Media in Grand Rapids, Dan embarked on an entrepreneurial journey, establishing his own radio station, albeit an illicit pirate radio station known as Rock 104.9 Grand Rapids. This pioneering radio station significantly advanced the boundaries of radio, music programming and the enormous media-shift. Dano's unfiltered approach has tested the boundries of decency and sanity. Both on-air and online simaltaniously, to a daily local and worldwide audience.

Thirty-seven years into this industry, with the demise of terrestrial radio due to corporate conglomerates corrupting the industry, the medium has transitioned to online streaming. This is where Dano took his vast knowledge of what radio was from the 80's, 90's, 2000's, 2010's till it's current almost lifeless state, on life support and incorporated what is arguably one of the absolute best "High Quality Streams", social media packed and take-off the gloves. 108 JAMZ, WBFE Traverse City and Rock 104.9 Detroit is the ever-evolving brainchild of Dano. He loves and cares for this station more than his love for eating waffles on the beach, naked.

Dan Stevens-Harrell SR, is the soul Owner, Operations Manager, Program Director, Chief Engineer, Air Personality, and Executive Chef for Rock 104.9 Detroit.
