Mary Ellen Murphy is the host of WGHN’s Good Morning Grand Haven Monday through Friday from 6-10 am.

Mary Ellen got her start at a tiny radio station in Monroe, MI in the mid 80’s. From there she worked in Ann Arbor eventually landing in a top ten market in Detroit where she worked for a decade. From there she moved to Seattle and then back to West Michigan in 1999. Murphy has been on the West Michigan airwaves for over two decades.

When she is not on the radio, Mary Ellen enjoys baking, hanging at the beach and photography. She also writes a monthly column for the Grand Haven Tribune.

What does Mary Ellen love about being on the radio the most? She says it’s connecting with her listeners. Many who have become friends over the years. “Radio gives me a chance to be transparent every time I open the microphone and I think the audience appreciates that. I’ve shared my life experiences both good and bad to the audience more than half my life.”

A huge fan of The Beatles, Murphy has a Beatle Break every day on the show where she highlights a moment in their career followed by a song. Her favorite Beatle is George, but John comes in at second place.

Mary Ellen loves being on the air in Grand Haven because not only is the area so beautiful, but it’s close to the beach too. The audience is loyal and she feels at home.

John has been in broadcasting for over 25 years. He got his start in Grand Rapids radio, however his love for the airwaves began as a junior in high school back when East Kentwood had it’s own radio station. John even tried his hand at stand-up comedy, but admits it was harder than he ever thought. He has been a part of WGHN for well over a decade now, and can’t imagine being anywhere else.  John likes to fish, go for a bike ride, or try out a new restaurant. He is a self-proclaimed foodie and life-long Christmas nerd, and is still shocked when someone says they have never watched “It’s a Wonderful Life” or tried haggis.

Bruce’s 30+ year radio career started in suburban Philadelphia on dual passions…good time rock & roll and old cars. Now with a personal music collection of more than 60,000 tunes, a garage packed with a dozen antique cars, and loving radio more than ever, he’s living the dream. When Bruce’s not on the air, he’s probably playing with his dogs and cats, watching a baseball game, spending time with his wife and two daughters, or most likely, out in the garage under a hood. You see, he really is radio’s original “car guy.”

Cheree started her radio career in the sunshine state of Florida 15 years ago. Since then she’s been on the air coast-to-coast and in between. Cheree also has enjoyed figure skating all her life, and often skated competitively. She owns two horses that she rides and shows in competitions in English Pleasure and jumping. She’s a die-hard NFL fan, one of the biggest animal enthusiasts you’ll ever meet, and loves all kinds of music. Cheree’s also known as “Super Aunt” with two nieces who are simply beautiful inside-and-out.

Since Joe was a kid, he’s been in love with radio. He’d slowly scan the dial at night trying to find a signal from some far off place, and then anxiously try to figure out the city it came from before the static took over. For twenty years Joe’s felt blessed to be on this side of the mic. When he’s not working, he’s working….as an announcer for minor league baseball. He loves spending with his wife and daughters, and his rescue dogs.
