Pat McKay | email
Weekdays 9 am - 3 pm ET
"One of my earliest memories is of a life-risking climb up a bookcase to get to a stereo. I was just a toddler, and my parents thought they could keep it out of my reach." So, Pat McKay has pretty much always wanted to be in control of the music wherever she is. Good on her, then, that she got into radio. She's not just a DJ, by the way: she also programs The Joint: so send her a thank you email for all the great music you hear on the channel!

Jabba | email
Friday 9 am - 3 pm ET
Weekends 1 pm - 7 pm ET
Jabba’s passion for reggae music began at the age of 10, sneaking into dance halls in Kingston Jamaica. For more than a decade, he has been stirring things up as one of the most recognizable and versatile personalities involved in the reggae culture. Since the early '90s, Jabba has served as one of the driving forces behind the world-renowned Massive B Sound System and record label. Jabba's tenure as one of New York's most successful reggae promoters is ongoing, thanks in part to his annual birthday party, "Jabba Strikes Back," which is attended by thousands of supporters and the most talented Reggae artists of the year. He also promotes a yearly "Modeling Affair Party" in Queens and the annual “Best of the Best Concert” in Miami, which is one of the largest reggae concerts in the Northeast.
