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!
The first hour of “Monday Magazine” is sponsored by Tri-S Hardware and Auto, located at 195 Prospect Highway, Seven Hills. The second and third hours are sponsored by Mike Samson, Clothier, located at Shop 21, Winston Hills Mall.
Jack’s background is sales and marketing with major companies and he also ran his own business for over 12 years prior to his retirement. During that time he also developed a reputation as a professional spruiker , so he’s no stranger to the microphone!
Having a passionate interest in good music, Jack enjoys performing with his a capella quartet, HighJacked, as well as being a proud member of the multi-award winning Hills Harmony Chorus.
