JJ McKay brightens the workday and gives listeners a charge during their busy day as she talks about everyday life events in a fun, upbeat manner.

JJ is the Good Time Oldies Operations Manager, but dearly loves being on the air where her experience includes CHR, AC, Country and Oldies in a variety of markets. For nearly ten years, JJ served as Operations Manager for Adult Hit Radio. When JJ's not working she enjoys family, friends, sports and spirit-filled activities.

Born just minutes from the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame, Bill got his first taste of radio as a boy scout when the scout leader (an electrician) let him talk to people across the country on a ham radio! Bill served his country in the Army as a nuclear weapons inspector & traveled extensively thru Europe - attending lots of rock concerts (including Jimi Hendrix just weeks before his death). Bill's radio career has spanned nearly 25 years including jobs as sales rep, newscaster & on-air talent (his love). Bill's a single dad of a lovely college age daughter who, in her youth, would actually sleep in the studio while Dad was on the air working! Bill loves to ski, cook, race bicycles, travel, work with his raku pottery & hang with his pets - truly a product of the Age of Aquarius!

I was a small-town girl. Aside from the ridiculous green beret and homely green jumper, signing me up for Girl Scouts was the best decision Mom made for her fifth-grade daughter. I already knew how to build a campfire, and selling cookies wasn't the highlight of my year -- it was the field trip to the radio station that thrilled my little eleven-year-old heart. There it was, five thousand watts of crystal-clear power...it was a daytime-only radio station, the voice of our town. One look into that studio and I was hooked. I begged them to let me take home the unused news copy from the AP wire. I hung it up on my wall like a rock-star poster. I got a tape recorder and practiced doing newscasts, writing exciting stories of neighborhood gossip. I practiced my commercials, imitating TV ads for Miss Clairol. In the seventh grade, I entered a speech contest and won three of the four categories. The judges were the owners of that radio station. Within a week of winning the speech contest I had my first on-air job: "Delilah, on the Warpath," school news and sports, taped weekly. By the time I was in high school I had worked into a full-time part-time position at the radio station. I wrote afternoon newscasts, wrote and produced commercials.Six days a week I was at the station. Six days a week I was happy! It's been over 25 years, and fourteen stations since Mrs. Davis's Girl Scout troop walked through the doors of that first radio station. Today, my show isn't on a five-thousand watt daytime AM station, but the thrill of the microphone hasn't disappeared. Radio is still my first love.
