''Loveline'' is a syndicated radio call-in program in North America, offering medical and relationship advice to listeners, often with the assistance of guests, typically actors and musicians. Its flagship station is KROQ-FM in Los Angeles. Its hosts are Dr. Drew Pinsky and "Psycho" Mike Catherwood. Currently, ''Loveline'' is broadcast live, Sundays through Thursdays at 10pm–midnight PT (Mondays through Fridays at 1am–3am ET).〔(KROQ-FM—The World Famous KROQ, show listing )〕 Syndication is usually on rock, alternative, and adult talk radio stations. ''Loveline'' can also be heard online anywhere in the world, by streaming through the websites of affiliate stations. ==History== ''Loveline'' began in 1983 as a Sunday night dating and relationships segment on Los Angeles radio station KROQ-FM, hosted by DJ Jim "Poorman" Trenton, DJ Swedish Egil (Egil Aalvik), and Scott Mason. After a traumatic break up, Mason announced that he would no longer be hosting the show. In 1984, Trenton added a segment called "Ask a Surgeon," hosted by his friend Dr. Drew Pinsky, who at the time, was a fourth-year medical student at the University of Southern California. The medical segment was pre-dated by an occasional legal segment in which a lawyer would be present to answer legal questions. As ''Loveline'' developed and increased its audience, Pinsky became a public figure in his own right, and the show began referring to him informally as "Dr. Drew". He eventually came to co-host the show with Trenton. In February 1992, the show expanded from Sunday nights to five nights a week, Sunday through Thursday. In August 1993 Trenton was replaced by former MTV VJ Riki Rachtman. Pinsky and Rachtman were joined by Adam Carolla in October 1995, as the show was first being syndicated nationally. The trio hosted together for several months, but Carolla and Rachtman often competed for airtime, leading Rachtman to resign in January 1996. Carolla and Pinsky would go on to host the show together until Carolla's departure in November 2005. The popularity and reach of ''Loveline'' increased dramatically in the ten years during which it was hosted by Pinsky and Carolla. The two had a natural chemistry, in which Carolla's jocular tone emphasized Pinsky's reasoned expertise. Together, they refined the format of the show, and capitalized on their growing popularity with speaking tours, a television show on MTV (also titled ''Loveline''), a book, and cameo appearances on television series and movies. In November 2005, Carolla left ''Loveline'' to prepare for a new morning radio show, ''The Adam Carolla Show'', which began airing in January 2006. After Carolla's departure, he was substituted on a temporary basis by numerous celebrity guests, some of whom announced their desire to take the job permanently. During his first appearance on Carolla's new morning show, Pinsky revealed that the shortlist of candidates included Carson Daly, Joel McHale, Danny Bonaduce, Steve-O and Daniel Tosh.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ADAM AND ANASTASIA ASHLEY, DEBORAH NORVILLE, DR. DREW, WILLIAM SHATNER, KID ROCK, PETER GUBER, AND THE GIBSON CONTEST )〕 On July 23, 2006, KROQ-FM disc jockey Stryker was hired as Pinsky's co-host. On April 22, 2009, Stryker announced that due to financial cutbacks at Westwood One, he would be leaving the show and it would be his last appearance that night. After Stryker's departure, a number of celebrities guest co-hosted opposite Drew. On March 11, 2010, it was announced that Mike "Psycho Mike" Catherwood from ''The Kevin and Bean Show'' would co-host ''Loveline'' with Dr. Drew. After a long stint as a guest host, Simone Bienne was formally brought on as a co-host in December 2011. This followed Westwood One's merger with Dial Global. She was introduced to the show by Dr. Drew through ''Lifechangers'', and is the first female co-host of the radio show.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=‘Loveline' adds sex and relationship therapist as new co-host - The Orange County Register )〕 As of November 2012 she is no longer a host. On December 7, 2012, Adam Carolla rejoined the show for its tour of the US. On January 5, 2015, Catherwood and Pinsky launched a new program, "Dr. Drew Midday Live with Mike Catherwood" on KABC in Los Angeles.〔(KABC website ); accessed December 27, 2014.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Loveline」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
