2015 marks 25 years on the air in the Quad Cities for The Dwyer & Michaels Morning radio show.  In today's fickle media landscape this is an amazing accomplishment.  Over the years the 'Guys' have built incredible loyalty due to their selfless promotion of their Quad Cities Fans and not themselves.  "The show is about our listeners, not us", according to Greg Dwyer.  "We truly believe the audience is the star."

2015 will be a celebration of Dwyer & Michaels in the Quad Cities.  As part of this celebration 97X and Dwyer & Michaels are going to build a house!  That's right in partnership with Habitat for Humanity, the Guys are building a house to benefit a deserving family identified by Habitat.  

As part of this project Townsquare Media of Quad Cities, the parent company of 97X is donating a city lot on Perry St. in Davenport for the house to be built.  

The house will be built with the help of many QCA contractors, suppliers and friends of the Dwyer & Michaels Show.  Ground breaking will take place in early May.  "What makes this so cool is the actual lot Townsquare is donating is right behind the Rock & Roll Mansion where we do the show every day!" Says Bill Michaels.

The house will be built in 25 weeks to commemorate "25 Years of Dorkdom" and can be viewed from a
24-hour webcam perched on the Rock & Roll Mansion on 97X.com.  For information on this historic event contact:
