Radio career

The Ron & Ron Show

In 1987, stand-up comedian Ron Bennington joined radio veteran Ron Diaz to create the wildly popular radio program, The Ron & Ron Show, at Tampa Bay's WYNF-FM, known as 95YNF. The show had huge ratings success and Ron & Ron known as "Radio's Bad Boys" then partnered with their agent Ross Reback to form The Ron & Ron Radio Network to own and syndicate the programming. The show's final broadcast for WYNF was on March 12, 1993. Reback became President and CEO of the newly formed network and quickly negotiated a deal to broadcast the show in Miami, FL, Orlando, FL, and Jacksonville, FL with another dozen markets soon following (including a new more lucrative deal in Tampa, FL).

Ron Diaz announced his departure on-air from The Ron & Ron Show in early 1997, and on September 29, 1997 after a successful 11 year run the show ended.
