SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Valentine's Day draws near, and 93Q is getting in the spirit once again with its annual '5 Dates in 5 Days' contest. This year, morning show hosts Ted & Amy put a twist on the contest with their first ever gay bachelor.

93Q's morning duo Ted & Amy will once again host their '5 Dates in 5 Days' bachelor contest.

Deejay Mike Cauchon, who is gay, will be the 2015 celebrity bachelor. He will take five men on dates the week of Feb. 1 and listeners will vote for a winner. Cauchon was on "Ted & Amy in the Morning" Wednesday to introduce himself to Central New York.

"I don't walk around with my rainbow flag and my feathered thong," Cauchon said, laughing, when Amy mentioned she, for years, didn't know that he was gay.

Cauchon, 32, a Fayetteville native and graduate of Christian Brothers Academy, is a longtime deejay and on-air personality on 93Q. He also manages DJs on the Hill near Syracuse University and deejays weddings and other events for On the Air DJ service.

"I don't have time to meet people," Cauchon said. "And I work on a college campus where I'm dealing with college kids all the time."

In an interview with Syracuse.com, Cauchon described himself as a "guy's guy," who prefers grabbing a beer at a bar to a "formal date." He admitted the formality of the contest makes him a little nervous. So what's he looking to get out of this?

"Honestly a guy who can have fun," he said. "I am a giant goof, so a sense of humor is so incredibly important for me. If you can't laugh it off then what's the point? Don't get me wrong, I can be serious when I need to be but most of the time I'm joking around. Also I have the best dog ever so you must like dogs!"

Listeners can submit a bio and photo to amy@93q.com for a chance to be one of the five dates next month. The show asks eligible bachelors to share their likes and dislikes, hobbies and what they look for in a partner.

Cauchon will take five men to dinner at Nestico's in North Syracuse over the course of five days. The morning after each dinner, Cauchon and his date will dish about the night on the air with Ted and Amy.

At the end of the five dates, listeners will vote for a winner. The winner receives a VIP package to a Syracuse Chiefs game as well as a room for four for the woman of his choice at Amy's Slumber Party, a popular girls night out event.

Previous "Five Dates in Five Days" bachelors have included Syracuse Media Group's Chris Baker, CNY Central meteorologist Peter Hall and Salina Town Hall Supervisor Mark Nicotra.
