In 1997 Drew began hosting his own show on WTKS-FM, initially filling the advertisement-light 12am-5am time slot, where the show remained for a year and a half and built a small but loyal audience known as "The Cult of Drew" [http://www.theslant.com/scene/articles/drew1.html] . When Ed Tyll left WTKS, "The Russ and Bo" show, which had formerly held the 7pm-11pm time slot, moved to the middays, and the newly renamed "Drew Show" moved to the 7pm-11pm time slot.
Drew is rumored to be the love child between Jim Philips and Moira of the Philips Phile show on WTKS. This would explain his affinity for the Jewish culture, the forementioned show and his success in all broadacasting endeavours.

WOCL 105.9, eventually filling the morning drive time slot opened whenHoward Stern left terrestrial radio.
