MIKE
1997… that’s the year Mike realized radio was part of his DNA hosting an all-request Night show! That was just the beginning! Mike’s been fortunate to spend time on the air here in KC, San Diego, and now back on 94.9 KCMO! When it comes to Kansas City, he’s a hometown guy, growing up in the Northland, and a proud graduate from the ‘original’ Liberty High School.
Mike’s lived all around our great city… Liberty, Prairie Village, Lenexa, Overland Park, and now back up north. Not only did he grow up here, but his entire family lives here, which makes holidays so much easier to navigate. After his years in San Diego, he’s so thankful my holidays aren’t spent in airports anymore.
Mike has always been a nerd for tech stuff, and enjoys being around people. Little known fact, he was the kid running the sound systems at church, so the thought of being on the radio was a dream come true. Mike is also a lover of all KC BBQ! Mike has an affinity for fast cars, boats, motorcycles and a huge fan of our Chiefs! Mike also volunteers regularly with our local Salvation Army’s Honk & Holler program where we help feed KC’s homeless community! When he’s not working, he enjoys grilling a good steak, smoking some ribs, checking out a new winery, or catching up with whatever he missed on Netflix. And don’t tell anyone… but he also likes to organize stuff and for whatever reason enjoys cleaning things.
MACKENZIE
Mackenzie brings energy, humor, and heart to your mornings! Married to “the Luckiest Man in the World,” Jason, she’s also the proud mom of two college boys—though she prefers to call them “squatters.”
Her favorite part about being on-air? Giving away once-in-a-lifetime prizes and sharing laughs with listeners (while occasionally staring deeply into Mike O’Reilly’s eyes).
Fun fact: Mackenzie’s feet are so small she shops for shoes in the children’s department—sadly, that’s the only thing she can buy there!
When she’s not on the mic, you’ll find her singing along to whatever’s playing at the drug store, exploring Kansas City’s local theatre scene, taking long walks with her dog, and absolutely avoiding camping. She loves a good burger at the Flea Market, dreams of returning to Iceland, and shares her home with Clive the Wonder Poodle, Simon the orange cat, and Fred—the self-proclaimed “jerk” cat.
Start your day with Mackenzie for laughs, great music, and unforgettable prizes!
