James steers radio drive time
IT WAS only late last year that James McKay was making his first appearance on community television and daring to dream of becoming the next Rove McManus.
The Bli Bli 20-year-old had launched his own internet talk show, The James McKay Show, which was picked up by Brisbane community television station 31 Digital.
Now that "silly, light-hearted entertainment program" has landed him a job on a new Sunshine Coast radio program.
Drive Time with James will be launched at 4pm tomorrow on 101.3FM.
James said it was a dream come true.
"I can't wait to get started. It is such a great opportunity to be doing a show on the Sunshine Coast," he said.
"It is going to be a lot of fun, especially because everything will be live."
The two-hour program will feature top-40 music charts, as well as comedy segments and talk-back.
James said the program was the next big step to stardom.
"It is a dream come true for me. It is something I have always wanted to do," he said.
"Hopefully the community tune in and enjoy a young person's view on the radio."
