Mike Gavin | Producer | @RadioGavin1

Mike Gavin and Gordon first teamed up in 2006 on “The Wall Street Journal This Morning,” before both jumping to “This Morning” with Compass Media Networks in 2015. Mike feels lucky to have had the opportunity to work in several different corners of the radio business, counting sportscaster, rock music DJ, and program director among his early career stops, spent mostly in New York and New Jersey (minus a two year trip to Texas). He’s also spent many nights and weekends working as a public address announcer for local minor league and college sports teams. Mike has two young boys who still don’t know why Daddy leaves the house so early every day.
