The Love Doctors is a radio show on WZZR Real Radio in West Palm Beach, Florida, that runs from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. EST. Hosting the show is Rich Dickerson (Dr. or Rev. Rich, who was partly responsible for the formation of the KISS Army), with Glenn Curtis (Dr. Glenn) and Lexxus as the "sidekicks". The addition of Lexxus to the show in 2006 (?) was not received well by many fans.

The show covers a wide variety of topics, with Drs. Rich and Glenn taking unscreened calls from listeners on whatever topic they (the callers) wish to talk about, within reason. Occasionally, the Love Doctors may play a comedy bit, such as Adam Sandler's The Chanukah Song, or a comedy bit in which Paul Harvey endorses bongs.

Following the aftermath of Hurricanes Charley, Frances, and Jeanne in 2004, many of WZZR's on-air personalities provided non-stop hurricane recovery coverage for three weeks, helping the hurricane-ravaged area with information such as where to get supplies, official statements and interviews with state of Florida representatives, etc.^[1]

Adding to the popularity of The Love Doctors radio show are the numerous controversial revelations made about the personal lives of the hosts.

[edit] Love Doctors Charities, Inc.

The Love Doctors Charities, Inc., is an organization registered with the State of Florida (registration number CH18873) and the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation started by the Love Doctors in 2001.

Every year in late November, the Love Doctors host a Toy Drive Marathon where the Love Doctors broadcast live for 24 hours straight (with only commercial breaks to spell them, as they play no songs) to raise money and toys for Christmas. 2007 saw a new format for the Toy Drive. The Love Doctors broadcasted live from two different loations in the listening area for 12 hours.

For Christmas 2007, the Love Doctors Charities raised over $255,000. Since 1994, the charity has raised over one million dollars for children and families in the listening area (Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River, and Okeechobee Counties).^[2]
