MEET THE SHOW:
RACHAEL GRAY
Rachael Gray has been waking up West Michigan since 2012 at 105.3 HOT FM, and started her career hosting mornings at WBTI in Port Huron, MI. In 2019, Rachael began hosting the first all female morning show in the state.
Rachael’s fierce sense of humor is only upstaged by her love of pop culture. If it matters, she’ll tell you! She’s a wife, a mom of two, and has no problem sharing ALL of what that entails. Rachael is not only a strong communicator but is also a leader in West Michigan non-profit work. She has been an advocate of organizations supporting women and mothers. Conversely, Rachael doesn’t take herself too seriously. In what can be a divisive world, Rachael’s voice breaks through to bring an audience together one laugh at a time.
