Former “104.3 The Fan” KKFN-FM afternoon host Darren ‘DMac’ McKee is joining KSE Media Sports “Altitude 92.5” KKSE-FM Brookfield/Denver to co-host 12-3pm with Scott Hastings and Tyler Polumbus.
McKee hosted afternoons at KKFN from 2009 until September. He has also worked in the market at 630 KHOW, 760 KKZN, 850 KOA and 106.7 KBPI. He also programmed Rock 107.9 KDZA Colorado Springs, and worked on-air in Buffalo, Syracuse and Washington DC. The move reunites him with Polumbus, who was his co-host from 2019-22 at KKFN. He becomes the new D in the 12-3pm “P.H.D.” show filling the hole created when Josh Dover departed KKSE-FM for KKFN-FM as part of the schedule revamp that led to McKee’s departure.
