His weekday show aired Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. (ET) on WLW in Cincinnati and formerly nationwide on XM Satellite Radio (discontinued by Clear Channel in March 2009).
In the late '90s, McConnell's show began airing at 9 a.m., taking one hour from WLW radio morning personality Jim Scott's previously five-hour time slot.
"Midday with Mike", as it was now called, formerly known as The Mike McConnell Show, aired from 9 a.m. to noon on WLW and it was picked up for national syndication by Premiere Radio Networks in July 2006 (replacing the then retiring Phil Hendrie, who returned to radio in 2007), and at its peak, aired on roughly 20 stations across America, including WIBC in Indianapolis, WGST in Atlanta and WSYR in Syracuse.
