David "Mad Dog" DeMarco is back in Lansing with a podcast and TV show
Four years after David “Mad Dog” DeMarco left the Lansing airwaves, he’s back with a television show and podcast, both through WLNS.
David "Mad Dog" DeMarco, who left Lansing's radio airwaves four years ago, has returned with a television show and podcast through WLNS. DeMarco, who hosted a sports talk radio show in Lansing for 26 years before departing in 2022, now features a weekly podcast and a TV show called "Beyond the Playbook, with Dave 'Mad Dog' DeMarco."
Both the show and podcast air on WLNS, with the TV show at 6 p.m. on Sundays and the podcast on Thursdays at 9:30 a.m. DeMarco, 66, described the TV show's style as reminiscent of "Carson-esque," featuring interviews with guests. The podcast, he noted, is more "Mad Dog-ish" than any other. DeMarco and his wife, Carole, moved to Cedar Bluff, Alabama, in 2022 and built a home near his brother and sister-in-law.
Two years ago, they returned to Lansing for a friend's gathering and realized they missed the city. They sold their home in Alabama and are now residing in Lansing. DeMarco expressed his excitement about the return, stating it felt like "time travel." He has no intention of returning to his previous radio stations, WVFN or Townsquare Media, finding no room for him there.
DeMarco is currently hosting a "Mad Dog Sports Blowout Party" on August 27, 2023, at One North Kitchen & Bar East in East Lansing, inviting all to attend.
