Today we unveiled the 19th historical marker we have in the City; this marker is to celebrate Phil Donahue, the iconic talk show host who revolutionized daytime television.
The launch of the Phil Donahue Show was on November 6, 1967, right here in Moraine at WDTN. The show immediately caught on, thanks to the wide variety of guests, live studio audience, and callers that could call in and ask questions. The show was groundbreaking because it was the first popular talk show to feature a format that included audience participation.
We are proud to recognize Phil Donahue with a Moraine Historical Marker.
