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"!

You’re distracted because of….
You! That’s the findings of a new study by the London School of Economics. Our phones cause a lot of those distractions but even when our phones are out of reach, we just find other ways to distract ourselves – like scrolling on our computers instead. The truth is, it’s not simply the phone that’s […]

You asked to see it, here you go!
I told you on the show about the girl who got her hand stuck in her boyfriend’s mouth. They were doing a video for their social media page (of course). She wanted to prove her fist would fit in her boyfriends mouth, it did, but then his jaw locked. They ended up in the E.R. […]

You eat what? With what?
I was inspired by a thread on Reddit with people discussing strange food combos. The thing, it’s only strange to other people, not to the people that eat them. My family thought I was nuts when I would eat potato chips or french fries with our pizza, until they tried it. I guess this is […]

I’m looking for suggestions. This is where you come in, let me know what you think. Drop me a text or email through […]

Here we go again!
Don’t forget this Saturday night (3/8) to move your clocks AHEAD one hour before you go to bed or you’ll be running late on Sunday. It’s Daylight Savings time again. The good thing is most of the clocks do it themselves, our phones, computers, laptops, tablets etc. But, there’s a few that don’t. In my […]

It’s that time of year again!
It’s tax season, yep back again. No one wants to do taxes but we do them anyway. A recent survey asked people what they’d rather do than do their taxes. Here’s some of their responses: How about you? For me, it’s just do it and get it over with. Thanks for listening and good luck […]

One year already!
It was one year ago today (2/12/24) that I started working on the 105-7 ‘CFW morning show! It’s hard to believe because it’s been so much fun. Every day is something new and, to you, thanks for letting me be part of your mornings again. I’m looking forward to what this next year brings on […]

So it’s NOT rigged?
Congrats to the big game winners, Philadelphia Eagles. They crushed the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX. Of course all the talk, by many, was the NFL was rigged and that the game was already (before it even started) won by KC. I guess the Eagles didn’t buy into that chatter. However, maybe […]

The worst month of the year (to pronounce)!
I know there’s a lot of disagreement when it comes to politics but I think this is something we can all get behind. Since February has fewer days isn’t it time it has one less letter? Let’s face it, no one says Feb ROO ary. The R is not needed and it’s time to go! […]

January is outta here (almost)
It’s almost February and that means March isn’t too far away which means it’s almost Spring. Stick with me! The first ‘official’ day of Spring is March 20th. Doing the math, we’re just 49-days (I think) away from waving buh-bye to winter. Hang in there!
