Hartford Radio: Mike & Kim Return to WDRC-FM

Kim, Mike

There’s no getting used to starting work at 4:30 a.m., even after two decades in the radio broadcast business, said Mike Stevens, co-host of Mike and Kim in the Morning, 102.9 DRC-FM’s new weekday morning show, according to myrecordjournal.com.

Stevens wakes up at 3:15 a.m. every weekday and drives from Wallingford, where he was raised, to the radio station’s headquarters in Bloomfield. By 5 a.m., Stevens is on-air with co-host Kim Zachary.

“By 5:15 a.m., we’re usually in here laughing until we’re crying,” Stevens said.

While the hours aren’t exactly ideal, Stevens and Zachary said they love their jobs. They worked together at DRC-FM 20 years ago before Zachary left for another job in Springfield. They kept in touch, and were only reunited on-air about three weeks ago.

After being apart for 20 years, Stevens and Zachary have no trouble striking up conversation during their show, which runs until 9 a.m. Keeping the show light and entertaining is important, said Stevens, because often, their voices are the first thing people hear when they wake up.

“We’re at the breakfast table with these people,” he said.
