Hi, I’m John Worster (also known as John McKay), a broadcast professional based in Spokane, Washington, with almost four decades of experience in radio and TV advertising. I started in news and production at KCLX, then moved through Spokane and Tri-Cities stations, building a versatile skill set in news, voice work, production, and on-air programming. Since 1992 I’ve worked with New Northwest Broadcasting across KIOK, Eagle 106.5, and KEYW, and since 2006 I’ve been the Program Director for Newstalk870 AM KFLD (Townsquare Media). I’ve also done freelance voiceovers for hundreds of radio and TV ads, including long-term work with Lithia Advertising for Lithia Motors, plus MOH projects for the Benton-Franklin Health District. I’m passionate about delivering clear, engaging audio and getting ads back quickly, often within a day, thanks to my Adobe 3.0 production workflow and 38 years of broadcasting experience.
