[edit] Radio career

Ron's radio career started on The Ron and Ron Show in Florida with co-host Ron Diaz. In 1997, the show disbanded and Ron teamed up with Fez Whatley to create The Ron and Fez Show. The show was broadcast from New York on 102.7 FM WNEW-FM from 2000-2003 until the station ended the talk format, and eventually moved to 106.7 FM WJFK-FM near Washington D.C. where it aired live from 2003-2005, a station that had been simulcasting the WNEW-based show since 2000.^[1] Ron and Fez moved back to New York and debuted on XM Satellite Radio on September 12, 2005.^[2]

Bennington hosts 2 XM Radio shows, The Ron and Fez Show, and Unmasked. Unmasked pits Bennington against the leading comedians of the day. Bennington attempts to 'unmask' his interview subjects, and reveal their true personality and/or inspirations for comedic styling. Unmasked is broadcast on XM Satellite Radio, airing Saturdays at 8 pm on XM Comedy - XM 150 and Sundays at 2 pm on XM 202 The Virus.

The "Ron Bennington's Line of the Day" thread was printed in hardcover book format in a single-copy limited edition and given to its namesake.^{[citation needed]}
