Budgets were slashed. Problems kept arising. Every excuse in the book was made. For over five years, the MJ Morning Show crew patiently awaited a brand new studio from which they would broadcast the show. The Q105 “shoebox of a studio” from 2006 was hanging on by a thread, and something had to give.
That day finally came on Wednesday, November 19, 2025. At 6 a.m., MJ cracked the mikes in a much more spacious studio with a new digital console, nicer chairs, mikes and space for more guests, TVs showing the MJ Morning Show logo behind the crew, and even improved airflow. It was a bit of a rocky start to the broadcast because of a major echo when MJ turned on Fester and Michelle’s mikes. The live stream on all of the radio apps was also down until about 7:20 a.m. But thanks to hard work from Andrew and the engineers, Chris and Max, many of the issues with the new setup were resolved that morning.
The good news is that we won’t have to hear MJ or others complain about the old studio and wonder whether they would ever move into their new digs. Now the question of MJ and Fester’s contracts comes into play. Both are up very soon, and we can only hope that they will sign new deals so they can actually enjoy using the new studio space for the foreseeable future.
