John McDonnell
The Jumbo Breakfast Show, Weekdays 6.30-9.30am 

John McDonnell has been waking up the midlands on and off for the last 10 years. Back then it was the Big Breakfast, now it’s the Jumbo Breakfast Show. When not working on the No. 1 Breakfast Show in the region, John has been known to take phone calls from Alex Ferguson on selection issues. He can do a passable version of ‘Minnie the Moocher’ and whilst not Michael Flatley can hold his own on the dancefloor. A little known fact is that he has been involved in breaking two world records including the world’s largest hug! John has put his hugging days behind him to present the Jumbo Breakfast Show. The Jumbo Breakfast Show is the balanced way to start your day. Great music, plenty of news, sports and traffic plus other nice bits to help you get started in the morning.

The Guaranteed Best Music Mix in the Morning

It’s a big promise but we mean it! We’ll play the best music of the last three decades plus the best new stuff too!

The Jumbo Mixtape  - each week, we pick a different theme for our last song before 8.  We've had some great suggestions so far.  You get to pick the theme and the songs - we've done themes like body parts and the stars - maybe you've got one that would test the musical knowledge of the Jumbo Early-Birds!
