Waikato Days with Blair

Hi, I’m Blair! I was born in Morrinsville and raised on a farm - riding dirt bikes, learning the drums, and dreaming of becoming an All Black.
These days, I’m married to a Bay girl, and we’ve got two awesome kids, Josh and Jordan.
Funnily enough, the first word I ever said was “ray-dio”… and that’s exactly what I left school to do. I’ve been in radio ever since, and I still love it.
On the weekends, you’ll find me behind a drum kit at a pub or private gig, mowing the lawns, or playing taxi driver for the kids.
Waikato has always been home. Growing up here and now working on The Hits Waikato is a real privilege. I know every shortcut, every hidden gem - and I get to celebrate this amazing region on-air every day.
Why radio? It started with a love of music, but it’s become so much more.
It’s about connecting with people, being part of the community, and sharing a moment in someone’s day. And I absolutely love that.
The Hits Waikato is on 98.6FM and online at iHeartRadio.
You can find The Hits Waikato on Facebook and Instagram.
