Spend your afternoons with Rik Mikals on 98.3 the Key!
I started in radio right out of high school in my hometown of Clarkston, Wash., at KCLK-FM, a country station, and from there moved all over Idaho, Montana, California, and Washington State at various radio stations.
I worked on KMPS-FM in Seattle in the late 1990s and moved to Yakima in 1998 as program director of 107.3 KFFM. I moved again and again (because I can’t seem to keep a job) until I was in Bakersfield, Calif., then Tri-Cities, and then back to Yakima, and again to Tri-Cities as morning show host and brand manager of 98.3 The Key.
I bought a farm in Prosser a few years back with my wife Megan and we sold it last year we now live in Kennewick.
We have three great dogs named Phoebe, Barkley, and Roxy. My son is an aspiring musician and plays, performs, and writes original music. I also have a stepson named Kyran who is just starting high school.
I’m known for having a never-ending knowledge of pop culture and easily get addicted to TV reality shows. I like “Star Trek,” Mustangs (the car), and ’80s music, the era I seem to be stuck in.
I’m also a huge comic book fan, having a comic collection easily totaling more than 6,000 comics with some rare comic books thrown in for good measure.
