MONDAY BREAKFAST: Monday 6 am - 9 am

I was first involved with NOOSA FM in 2012, hosting a weekly Drive show and a Sunday night program called "The James McKay Show"
I left at the end of that year after being lucky enough to score a Commercial Radio gig. I ended up working in Commercial Radio as an announcer for 5 years before returning to NOOSA FM in 2018 to host several new versions of 'The James McKay Show' this time as an late night show, evening show and a Morning show. Random schedule I know right? it's been great though. It's feel like I've come home. I love Noosa FM. It's an amazing station and gave me my start in the radio industry and keeps me active in the industry all these years later. Geez I sound like an old timer now hey?

I'm currently hosting "Breakfast with James McKay" on Monday 6 am - 9 am
We've got Top 40 and Classic hits. Plus we have some Funny conversations, call topics, pop culture talk, social media fun. You can join in the conversation. We want you to be part of the show

Between 6 am and 7 am is Tradies request hour! So if you're driving to work and want to request a song give me a call anytime on 544 722 33 or send a text to 0451 543 161

Tune in and check it out - it's a whole lot of fun! Follow me on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter at The James McKay Show

James you're awesome! Where did you come from?? Best presenter I've heard on this station in many years! Are you new? You're great! You sound like a pro!
Why are you on so late?? You should be doing like a afternoon or breakfast show or something! Keep it up mate!

Listened to your show on Monday night. You do a great job! I was really impressed! I'm a Taxi driver So I hear a lot of radio during my shift. Its fantastic to have someone actually live on the radio in the late hours. You're very engaging and pleasant to listen to! I wish you were on every night. Could you do it every night?? haha

thanks Emily the taxi driver

Hey
Just wanted to say what a great show you have! I listen every week now. I work alot of late night shifts and tune into your show. It's really enjoyable.. and keeps me happy while I'm at work. Late night shifts are hard, So it's great to have a show like yours to keep us shift workers company! You're really fun & are great on the radio! I wasn't familiar with this station at all, but after discovering you I have since gone on and listened to many more shows at Noosa FM . It's a fantastic station. So glad I stumbled across it. Big fan!

Your show is fantastic! Both of them. I listen to your thursday morning show on the way to work and its great. You're really doing a commercial radio level show locally here in Noosa! Your show sounds like a professional announcer you'd hear in the big citys. Keep up the good work buddy! You should do your show everyday. I know I'd listen

This program is VERY entertaining! You are funny and great on the air. There is a certain commercial radio feel to this show. Love the fun segments, the music, the interaction with the listeners. Its polished and doesn't sounds like an Amateur community radio show at all. Which is really impressive! No joke... I honestly thought I was just tuned into a regular commercial station and was surprised when I heard an add saying it was a community station! Wow! Congrats that great work! I'm listening every week now! My only complaint is... I'd rather this show be on 5 nights a week! Instead of just monday night!

I have listened to Noosa Community Radio since the late 90's. I have heard a lot of different programs on this station over the years. I have to say... You're program is absolutely fantastic! The station should be very proud to producing such a great program! Especially the breakfast program you do. I would never normally listen to 101.3FM in the morning. I would normally listen to Zinc or Mark and Caroline Morning show . But I've started listening to this James MacKay breakfast show on Fridays. It's very well done' I am super impressed by the quality of the program. Just my personal thoughts. I think that breakfast program should be on every day. Flicking threw the stations on my car radio... You can't even tell its a community program. Great work Noosa Community radio! Looks like you have a bright future ahead

This show is great! I found out about randomly when I saw people talking about it on Instagram. It's really fun. I love the music and humor. I listen online threw the website as I live in New York. Never been to Australia but I do enjoy this show every week!

Good evening James McKay Show Team
Your show tonight was so good. The wife and I were legitimately laughing out loud at some of the stuff you say! Which is rare. We normally stick to ABC Radio at nights. I really love the connection you have with your audience. The facebook people and those who call up. You should like you're having a fun time and have genuine enjoyment talking to people and taking part in conversations. Only recently found this program since it moved to 6pm. Because the other one was on later in the night I believe? This is a great program for noosa community radio. I'm a noosa local and have listened for many years. I dont really like that Heavy Metal music show that follows you though...at 8pm Very off putting to us old timers

Hi James! I used to listen to you on Brisbane radio! Like 2013..2014. Good to hear you show is back on air! I randomly found out via an instagram post! Tuned in tonight on the website streaming and it was great to hear you on air. You sound better then ever! You should do this show more then one night though. Because I work nights and need a good radio show like this to keep me going

I really liking this radio show I am a new listener. I saw people talking about the show on Instagram and Twitter. It was trending on twitter tonight. Checked it out. Gonna listen every week had fun listening to it. And I dont normally listen to radio shows. I like the cool Millennial vibes the comedy bits, the talking bits and good music.

I really LOVE James' Breakfast show he does on Friday mornings! It's great! He should do it everyday!! I live in noosa so it's good to have a local breakfast show to listen to. I don't listen to the other Noosa FM breakfast shows they're little boring and dull. I love James' show! Can he seriously do it everyday? That'll be great!

Hi James MacKay Show team!
Your program is the best! I really like it. Love the music and the fun conversations. It was a funny one on monday night. Any chance you you'd do the show every night? Why do you only do it once a week? You should do it every night it's enjoyable. I also love the breakfast show you do on friday mornings
