Stacy McKay’s voice is a familiar one in Central Ohio. She has spent most of her career in radio helping people start their day.
When she and her husband Jeff were blessed (and surprised) by a daughter, Stacy gave up her career to stay home with Olivia. After 18 wonderful (and really hard!) months with her little one, who is now a toddler going on 12, she began to feel called to something new.
Stacy is convinced that God paved the way to bring her to 104.9 the River to share Mornings with you. Life is crazy with our families, jobs, activities and commitments, and Stacy believes that we can all get through it together with a positive outlook and a few laughs. Or, you can just laugh at Stacy as she stumbles her way through each crazy day!
You can hear Stacy with Todd, weekday mornings from 5am - 10am.
You can also send her an email if you like! |

Todd is the Program Director at 104.9 the River. He also serves along side Stacy McKay every weekday morning.
When Todd is not at work, he enjoys being at home with his wife, Hillary and their 3 kids. He likes to whip up a new recipe he learned from TV every once in a while. He also likes to pick up his guitar every now and then too.
He coaches youth soccer and even enjoys playing soccer on Sunday evenings in the spring and fall.
Todd wants you to know that he is a work in progress, and has experienced God's and other's grace and mercy. The one Scripture that motivates him the most is found in Romans 3 where it says, “suffering brings perseverance... perseverance brings character... character brings hope.”
You can hear Todd with Stacy, weekday mornings from 5am - 10am.

Mike is the Assistant Program Director & Music guy at 104.9 the River, which is a fancy way to say he gets paid to listen to songs & ask questions all day.

You can hear Mike Weekdays 10am - 2pm, and Saturdays 8pm - 11pm. |

David is a Columbus native and definitely bleeds scarlet and gray! Please never mention the “state up north” in front of him. He loves music, movies, friends and family. When he’s not at work or church you can find him spending time at Easton Mall, Starbucks, the park, the pool outside of his apartment, or hanging out with Max – his long-haired Chihuahua. David really loves spending as much time as he can with his 11-year-old brother, Corey.
He also wants you to know that he is broken and saved by grace. He loves sharing his story with anyone that will listen…letting people know how much God loves them. His sole desire is to make sure you know, that wherever you’ve been or whatever you’ve done, God desires to have a personal relationship with you.
You can hear David weekdays with Mary from 2:00pm - 7:00pm and Sundays 1pm - 6pm.
You can also send him an email if you like!

Mary is from a small town north of Columbus where she was quite the “tomboy”. She played 3 sports all 4 years of high school and then got a basketball scholarship to play in college. She graduated from Capital University with a double major in Radio/TV/Film and Communications. She dreamed of one day being a reporter for ESPN, but God had a different plan.
Shortly after graduation she met and married the love of her life. She says, “He is the most patient and kind-hearted person I have ever met.” They are still newlyweds and don’t have any children yet, but with God’s timing they would love to have a couple little ones. She attributes much of her success to the love and support of her family who have always believed in her.
Interesting Fact: Mary has a little sister that is 23 years younger than her and has been one of the biggest blessings in her life, helping her to learn more patience.
Hobbies: Sports, sports, and more sports, watching the latest episode of Dora with her little sister, and cooking.
You can hear Mary weekdays with David from 3:00pm - 7:00pm.
She would love to hear from you: mary@riverradio.com

Sherry Abel thinks she is hip because she socializes on the internet. You can mostly find her on Facebook, or Twitter. Her Myspace is often neglected because she has also has a real life.
Raising a family, caring for friends, Children's Ministry at church and a monthly breakfast at a homeless shelter consume her time.
About her family, her husband is a professional computer geek. Her three sons, one college, one elementary and one preschool keep her busy and in prayer. The baby has autism, so please pray so we can see God work miracles.
Her life in Christ started with occasionally going to church when she was small, wearing fancy dresses and being told to be quiet and stop squirming. Growing up in a single mom home left a lot of room for God's grace, even though she wasn't fully aware of it. In high school her friends said they were Christians but didn't act like it. Pregnant at 17 feeling very alone, she cried out for the sake of her baby to a God she didn't know. It turned out He knew her all along and had been waiting.
Now following after Jesus with the good support of her church, friends and family, Sherry has what she considers to be a huge opportunity. Sharing Jesus in a real life way with anyone who can listen to 104.9 the River.
You can hear Sherry weekdays from 7pm - midnight.

Greg was born in Lorain, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland but has lived in Columbus since he was 6 years old. His first brush with radio was in high school when he and his girlfriend Julie (who would later become his wife) did a prom and graduation public service announcement for a Columbus radio station.
Greg graduated from Ohio University and has been in broadcasting his entire career. He and Julie have two very active boys, Wesley and Cooper, who you'll hear a lot about when Greg's on the air.
You'll probably also hear Greg's voice if you are a Columbus Blue Jackets fan, as he has been the in-arena Public Address announcer for the team since they came to Columbus in 2000.
The Murray's live in Lewis Center and enjoy hanging out at home together and hosting neighborhood block parties!
You can hear Greg Saturdays 10am - 3pm. You can also send him an email if you like!

Laura Lee is from the central Ohio area. After graduating from Otterbein College with a degree in broadcasting, she worked in a variety of offices (a biscuit company, a school system, a concert venue, and a shopping mall, to name a few) before landing in radio.
She is married to a wonderful and supportive husband, Bill. They live in Westerville with their three boys (the third being very new!), one cat, and one goldfish. The cat and the goldfish get along better than the boys sometimes do. Laura Lee’s “other” job is a full-time stay-at-home-homeschooling mom, as well as helping out with children's ministries, women ministries, and drama at their church.
Hobbies: In theory: reading, making photo scrapbooks, cooking, and learning how to knit. In reality: holding the baby.
Favorite Verse: I've rested in this verse so many times since becoming a Christian. Proverbs 3:5-6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.”
You can hear Laura Lee Saturdays 3pm - 8pm. You can also send her an email if you like!
