Tyler McKenzie
Sunday Afternoons
Tyler was born in Taipei, Taiwan where her dad worked for the US Navy. At the age of two, her family was relocated to the Central Florida area. She is proud of her mother’s culture, but she will tell you in a heartbeat that she is 100% Floridian!
While aspiring to be a television sportscaster, Tyler never thought she would end up in radio, even though cassette tapes from when she was 10 prove otherwise. After her television internships in 1998, she decided to go to a radio broadcasting school in Daytona “just for fun.” It was there that God showed her that this is more than fun, it’s her calling! Later that year, she got a job in the Jacksonville area doing mid-days and shortly after moving up to do mornings.
In 1999, Tyler started working in the Orlando market. Name the station and she probably worked there (K92FM, Star 94.5, 96.5-WHTQ, etc.). At one time, she worked at four different stations. God has allowed Tyler to gain a tremendous amount of experience in television, radio, and traffic reporting throughout Central Florida.
Even while working at other stations in Orlando, Tyler has been a Z88.3 listener since day 1! She is so thankful that God led her Z88.3 Mornings in 2005.
Tyler is married to Thomas and they are enjoying the adventures of raising their family here in central Florida.
When ZRewind was added to the Z Family of Stations, she knew she had to be a part!
“These are the songs that God used to encourage me through some tough times in life! It’s amazing how years later God is still using them! My kids even love the station! If Point of Grace or FFH is on, we are blasting it! ”
