'''Doug Stephan'''  is an American [radio talk show](/source/talk_radio) personality who independently syndicates and hosts several nationally [syndicated](/source/Radio_syndication) radio shows for Talk Media Network.

==Radio Programs==

Doug Stephan's "Good Day" is a morning talk radio program airing live Monday through Friday from 6 am until 9 am ET, featuring a fast paced format covering a variety of topics.

Stephan also hosts "The Talk Radio Countdown Show," "Good Day Health Show," and "American Family Farmer."

Doug Stephan, born November 5, 1946, began his career in radio as a deejay in the early 1960s in [Tiffin, Ohio](/source/Tiffin%2C_Ohio) and thereafter decided to become a talk radio show host. He broadcasts from his home in [Framingham, Massachusetts](/source/Framingham%2C_Massachusetts), where he operates a dairy farm, Eastleigh Farm.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://eastleighfarm.wixsite.com/eastleighfarm |title=Eastleigh Farm }}</ref>

On May 3, 2024, Stephan will reduce his schedule to weekends only, as he joins Talk Media Network and [United Stations Radio Networks](/source/United_Stations_Radio_Networks). The move coincides with the closure of [Genesis Communications Network](/source/Genesis_Communications_Network), and the loss of Westwood One satellite distribution by Audio 1, which had been producing the show.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-04-26 |title=Doug Stephan's Good Day Moves To Weekends - RadioInsight |url=https://radioinsight.com/headlines/267935/doug-stephans-good-day-moves-to-weekends/ |access-date=2024-04-27 |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>Venta, Lance (April 19, 2024).
