NOBODY does country music in West Alabama like 95.3 The Bear. Instead of playing the same five new songs OVER AND OVER until you can't take another moment, we give you Bama's BEST country.

We mix the best of the songs you have known and loved your whole life with the best songs and artists of today.

A station that plays Morgan Wallen AND Alabama. We play Zach Top AND Alan Jackson (who may be his daddy, the jury is still out on that one).

It's just more fun to listen to all day long.

So, we are proud to welcome a new team member with a long history of being on the radio in Alabama.

Mike will be speaking with all of you working third shift at Mercedes, DoorDash, DCH, restaurants, or as first responders in West Alabama.

Here's a little bit about Mike for your knowledge bank:

Mike McKenzie brings a familiar voice and a steady presence to overnights on 95-3 The Bear. With four decades of radio experience, Mike knows that late-night radio isn’t about hype—it’s about connection.

On 95-3 The Bear’s East of Midnight, Mike keeps Bama’s Best Country rolling from the 90s to today while keeping company with night-shift workers, long-haul drivers, first responders, and listeners tuning in from around the world—including Tuscaloosa’s men and women serving overseas.

Easygoing, conversational, and always respectful of the moment, Mike believes the best radio after midnight feels less like a show and more like a friend.
