Every Monday, following PK’s bright and breezy breakfast program, Alive 90.5 presents Morning Magazine with “Happy” Jack.
From 9am till noon you’ll hear great music, including classic hits, exciting new releases and popular segments such as ‘The Birthday Bulletin’, ‘On This Day’, Movie Reviews and Upcoming Events. His popular 10 O’clock Tribute segment takes a more in-depth look at the lives and careers of selected performers or groups. Jack also features interviews with local performers and other interesting guests from our local communities of Parramatta, Holroyd and the Hills.
Jack’s aim is to entertain you. Whether you’re at home, at work or on the road you’ll find it a great way to start the working week!
