Doug Banks was the well-known host of The Doug Banks Radio Show, a program that followed in the footsteps of his earlier successful ventures like The Doug Banks Morning Show, The Ride with Doug and DeDe, and Afternoon w/ Doug & DeDe. Throughout his career, Doug made a lasting impact on radio, but even before he rose to fame, Doug was deeply involved in broadcasting. In fact, Doug began his journey while still in high school, where he got his start on the school’s radio station. That early passion quickly turned into opportunity when Doug landed a part-time weekend gig as a late-night disc jockey at a country music station—just one of the many steps that helped shape Doug’s dynamic career.

Doug’s personal life was just as full as his professional one. He was a devoted father to three daughters and a son, and though his marriage journey had its ups and downs—he was married three times—Doug always emphasized family. Sadly, Doug’s life came to an end due to complications related to diabetes, a condition he had been managing for years. Still, Doug’s legacy lives on through the shows he hosted and the countless listeners who tuned in each day to hear Doug’s voice. Doug truly lived for radio, and Doug’s influence continues to resonate in the world of broadcast.
