The American radio personality and comedian Steve Dahl has a net worth of $15 million.
Born in Pasadena, California on November 20, 1954, Steve Dahl is one of the most daring radio personalities in Chicago and has also achieved great success as a singer and songwriter.
Teenage Radiation, with their witty comedic performances, transformed RTA and Do You Think I’m Disco into national anthems.
Draktik’s Do You Think I’m Disco made it to the top ten of a novelty record top ten.
August 1979 saw the occurrence of Demento.
Dahl, Brian Wilson, and producer/keyboard player Joe Thomas collaborated to create the title track for Wilson’s 1998 album, Imagination.
In the mid-’70s, Dahl relocated to Chicago to work as a morning anchor on WLUP.
In 1978, Dahl met DJ Garry Meier at night and found a collaborator who shared his likeness.
One of the most controversial duos in broadcasting was the pairing of Dahl and Meier. One of their earliest stunts was a Disco Demolition night at Comiskey Park in 1979.
After being fired for violating community language standards, they took over the afternoon shift at WLS-FM in 1981.
Despite the change, Dahl and Meier continued to face opposition.
The couple missed several performances when they were transferred to WLS-AM in 1984, and it took a few years, legal action and suspension, before they finally agreed to end their contract.
In 1986, they rejoined WLUP-FM once again.
Despite remaining active in radio, Dahl’s career hit a low point in the ’90s, but he managed to return to radio by hosting a popular radio talk show since 1996.
On June 8, 1997, Steve Dahl and Teenage Radiation gave their final performance.
