KKIQ

Hi I’m Mel McKay and I think I have the best job in the world! I’ve been in radio since I was 15 years old. I went on a couple of career journeys outside of radio, and became a renaissance woman of sorts. After a few years I fell back in love with my first love, RADIO! I came to KKIQ in February of 2016 after moving, “town to town, up and down the dial.” I am honored to have spent the last 10 years with YOU, here’s to 10 more, at least. I started as your Hometown Traffic Reporter and Midday host. In 2020 I took over Hometown Mornings solo. I’m beyond thrilled to spend Hometown Mornings with you.

I’m a dog mom to 15-year-old Yorkie, Jackson Vicious! He returned after 12 years! He was kidnapped from our yard in Vegas. Microchip your babies! It’s the only reason we found our way back to each other. I make the most of every moment with this sweet guy!

Here we are when he was just a baby!
And now...

I love old movies, especially Cary Grant films. I’m a total Fan Girl Geek when it comes to Pedro Pascal & Star Wars. I also love Halloween, traveling, cooking, good conversation and movie marathons, not at the same time of course. I enjoy reading and audio books when my eyes are tired.

Thank you for listening.
