Mike McKay

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"!

Jason was killed in the line of duty in 2008 and was putting together Shop With A Cop before he lost his life. All money […]

Now that’s good news!

Every weekday morning around 6:15 I start the show with a “Feel Good” story. It’s a way to start our day with at least one positive story. I’d love to share local stories as well as stories from across the country and that’s where you come in. If you know of a person or organization […]

Thank you is not enough

I wish there was something that could be said to show or express the gratitude I have for U.S. veterans. I have so may family members and friends who have served or are currently serving in the military. What do you say to really express in words to the people that are responsible for the […]

Tough day for Chippewa Falls

Sad news about Molson Coors closing the Leinie’s Brewery in January. I feel so bad for the employees, many that have spent their lives working there. Also, for the city of Chippewa Falls. Most of our friends or family members that have come to visit have always wanted to make a visit for a tour. […]

The “Y” needs your help!

The YMCA of the Chippewa Valley, Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Company, McDonell Area Catholic Schools National Honor Society, is asking for your help to Support Our Troops by sending a care package just in time for the holidays. If you are able, please consider donating $25 (or more) to sponsor a goal as they do their […]

This must stop!

Isn’t it time to stop turning the clocks back an hour? Some states have done away with it, what about us? I’ve been told if we stop it’ll throw our ‘system of time’ off and centuries from now we’ll be dark when it’s ‘day’. I’m not a scientist but I say let’s give it a […]

It only takes 38-seconds!

In case you missed it this morning, it only takes your friends and family, 38-seconds to judge you on your homes appearance. According to a recent survey people will quickly scan your home and make a judgement about how clean it is, if it “smells nice”, and how much you care about your surroundings. This […]

What a week!

“at the end of the day”

STOP SAYING THAT! An interesting conversation this morning on Facebook during the morning show. Words or phrases that should go away. We all have those little phrases we hear that, well, drive us crazy. When I feel I’ve overused a phrase I’ll write it down and put it right in front of me in the […]

It certainly is Monday!

I hope your Monday is great! Mine, started out with some tech issues, but they’re cleared up and it’s pedal to the metal. Maybe it’s good to have issues first thing in the morning, get them out of the way, and then onward and upward. Thanks for letting me part of your Monday, and hopefully […]

So long Summer!

It’s official, Summer is over. I’m not sure what signs tell you Summer is done, but in our house it’s the first time the furnace goes on and that was last night. It’s been fun but it’s time to move on to Fall. Ohhhh, don’t forget to put new batteries in your CO2 detector and […]

October makes no sense!

Sometimes I think too much, but I really feel that October makes no sense. Hear me out. Octo prefix means eight, so it would make more sense if OCTOber was the eight month of the year, but it’s not, it’s the tenth month of the year. Anyway, October is here and I hope it’s going […]

See ya September!

If you were planning on doing something amazing in September you may want to move it to your October To-do list. I don’t know about you but for me September was a flash. I think it was the warm August like temps. We’ve got more fun things coming your way in October so make sure […]
