Format

The Dave & Chris Show! is a live call-in political and topical talk show, broadcasting on location from various cigar stores and bars around Chicago.

Philosophy

The Dave & Chris Show! promotes lively cross-party political discussion while maintaining civility and humor. The hosts are politically opposed (Dave is a conservative Republican; Chris is a liberal Democrat) with wildly divergent viewpoints on most major issues yet extremely respectful of each other.

History

The Dave & Chris Show! originally debuted on terrestrial radio at WJJG 1530AM , in March, 2007, broadcasting into neighboring Chicago. In November, 2008, the show moved to an online format to circumvent the FCC regulations for daytime only AM stations (including WJJG) which cannot broadcast after sunset. As The Dave & Chris Show! aired Fridays at 6pm, FCC regulations prevented live broadcast during daylight savings time when the show would air after dark. In January 2009, The Dave & Chris Show! began live online broadcasts using the technology available from Blog Talk Radio.
