Mornings with Mike McKay

Mike is BACK on the air every morning all across Eau Claire and the Chippewa Valley on 105-7 CFW! With over 28+ years in the Chippewa Valley, this has become home for Mike and his wife Lori. His kids grew up here and they still live here as well. When he's not on the air waking up the Valley, Mike spends time working around the house and yard as well as relaxing on the deck, usually more time relaxing than working! Weekends mean exploring the area and even after all these years, both he and his wife Lori still find things they've never seen before. Mike enjoys a little bit of online poker and spending quality time with his Pomeranian GiGi and kitty "Violet". Oh, and hockey is the only sport that matters in his house, "GO WILD"!

Do you really miss the good old days?

Have you had this conversation or thought recently, “I miss the good old days”? It seems whenever I have that thought it’s because life is crazy and overly serious. You know, you start thinking about the past and most of the time, which is good, you go to happy memories. I think what we miss […]

National School Picture Day!

National School Picture Day!

I’m not sure how it goes now, but when I went to school, picture day would just happen. What I mean is, you’d walk into class and the teacher would say “it’s picture day”. No heads up, no warning, so whatever you were wearing that day would go down in history. This is me in […]

Where were you?

Where were you?

If you around, you know exactly where you were when the news broke. Myself, I was doing my radio show (B95) and was talking on the air. Our on-air studio looked into the news room and we had TV monitors and they all showed one of the Twin Towers in New York City on fire. […]

10 hot dogs, 8 buns!

10 hot dogs, 8 buns!

It’s the age old question, why do they sell hot dogs in packs of 10 but the buns in packs of 8? The National Hot Dog and Sausage Council has spoken and this is what they say about it. Hot dog bun makers bake in clusters of four in pans designed to hold eight rolls. […]

Waiting is fun…right?

Waiting is fun…right?

I think most of us don’t like waiting. Obviously, there’s times that we have to but most of the time it’s just terrible. The post office, the DMV, the left turn light on Clairemont and Fairfax, or that one relative that’s always late for family meals like Thanksgiving. A recent study shows the average American […]

I’m a winner again!

It’s only Tuesday and I’m a winner again! This time it’s Yeti cooler. Well, that’s what the email said this morning. All I had to do was ‘click and win’. September has just started and I’ve already “won” a Yeti cooler, PS4, shopping spree at Dick’s Sporting Goods and a years supply of steaks. It’s […]

Have you tried this yet?

Labor day weekend is upon us and hopefully you’ll get a chance to enjoy it. If a bonfire or campfire is in your plans, you may have some s’mores in those plans too. Sooooooooo, have you tried this game changer? Dump the graham crackers and the Hersey bars and use fudge striped cookies instead. Maybe […]

Can’t believe it’s been 15-years.

Can’t believe it’s been 15-years.

Hard to believe, but it was 2009 when Michael Jackson passed away. 15-years ago! Michael would have been 66 today. No denying the impact he made on pop music over the years. My personal favorite has to be Man in the Mirror.

Are you kidding me?

Are you kidding me?

I shared this story on the air. United Airlines recently had to ground some of their planes because of a rule still in place by the FAA. The rule stated that pilots on a commercial plane must have a working on and off switch for the No Smoking Sign. Yes, the pilots needs to be […]
