The Ox, as he is affectionately known, is a veteran broadcaster with nearly 40 years of experience. He has worked at some of the top radio stations in the country and has built up strong listenership numbers whilst making the lunchtime slot his own. The ever-popular Guy McDonald takes charge of The Magic Drive from 15:00 to 18:00.

Magic evenings are safely in the hands of the supercharger, Adrian Larger.
