In 1998, Lipford was reached by Today's Homeowner magazine to partner for a nationally syndicated program. The program premiered in June 1998 as Today's Homeowner with Danny Lipford. Soon after, the program was syndicated to over 100 television markets. [4] [5] In 2001, AOL Time Warner bought the Times Mirror magazine group and discontinued the magazine. Lipford licensed the Today's Homeowner brand and took over the show again. [6] By 2013, Today's Homeowner aired on over 210 stations nationwide. [7] In 2008, it was nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award in Outstanding Special Class Writing. [8] Earlier seasons are currently streaming on the Xumo app. [9]

[11] On September 22, 2012, the title of the radio program was changed to reflect the television show. [12] The program is available on radio stations throughout the United States.
