The Science Guy Connection
The guy behind the Science Guy
“Throughout my career, from the Science Guy, to our Biz Kid$ series on financial literacy, I’ve had the good fortune to create media that educates and inspires young people. None of that would have happened without KNHC, literally, and that is why I’m such a huge supporter to this day.”
~ James McKenna | class of 197X
Bill Nye the Science Guy might never have made it big if not for DANCE 89.5.
The hit PBS series was the creation of Nye, KNHC (now DANCE 89.5) alum James McKenna, and his partner Erren Gottlieb.
McKenna credits his years at KNHC for his start in broadcasting: “I discovered KNHC when I was in 9th grade and ended up virtually living at the station. My radio teacher got me my first job in radio. A few years later I’m a young producer on a comedy series called Almost Live! That’s where I met Bill and Erren and the rest is history.”
McKenna’s love of DANCE 89.5 endures. Now a member of our Board of Directors, he works to pass those opportunities along to the next generation.
