McIntyre moving to mornings

No more red eyes for Doug McIntyre.

McIntyre, 46, host of the overnight show “Red Eye Radio” at talk station KABC-AM (790) for the past 23 months, was named Thursday to take over the station’s morning drive-time shift when Ken Minyard retires Oct. 15 after 35 years on the air in L.A. “McIntyre in the Morning” will be heard weekdays 5-9 a.m. beginning Oct. 18.

A native of Glen Cove, N.Y., McIntyre moved to Los Angeles in 1985 and worked as a TV writer and producer for many years before starting in radio. He wrote for such comedy series as “Mr. Belvedere,” “Full House” and “Married ... With Children” and was executive producer of the 1997-98 syndicated series “Mike Hammer: Private Eye.”

KABC said Brian Whitman will take over the midnight-to-5-a.m. shift until a permanent host is found for “Red Eye Radio.” Dan Avey, currently paired with Minyard on “Ken & Company,” will become KABC’s news anchor on weekdays from noon to 6 p.m., the station said.
