Early life and education
Kay was born and raised in the Bronx, New York. A fan of the Yankees, Kay wore number 1 in Little League for his favorite player, Bobby Murcer. Wanting to be the Yankees announcer when he grew up, he did all the school reports that he could about the Yankees, so he could know all about them. Kay began reporting as a youth at the Bronx High School of Science and then at Fordham University for WFUV. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in communications from Fordham.
Personal life
Kay married television journalist Jodi Applegate on February 12, 2011, with former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani officiating. Guests included former Yankees such as Al Leiter, Tino Martinez, Paul O'Neill, actor Robert De Niro, actor Bobby Cannavale, Billy Crystal, and actor/uncle Danny Aiello. The couple have two children: a daughter, Caledonia, born in 2013 and a son, Charles, born in 2014.
He and his family reside in Greenwich, Connecticut.
Michael is an avid fan of the Flintstones and The Odd Couple.
On July 3, 2019, Kay announced that he would undergo vocal cord surgery, keeping him out of the broadcasting booth from early July until late August. Kay returned to the booth on August 17, and returned to his radio show on August 26.
Broadcasting career
Kay began his professional career with the New York Post in 1982 as a general assignment writer, the National Basketball Association, and the New Jersey Nets followed him over time. In 1987, he was given the task of writing about the Yankees.
Kay left the newspaper in 1989, but the Yankees were still largely covered. Starting in 1989, Kay served as the Madison Square Garden Network Yankee reporter.
He was MSG's locker room reporter for the New York Knicks from 1992 to 1999. He had previously worked on the network as a contributing writer on the news-format sports show MSG SportsDesk. In 1992, Kay left the Daily News to host a sports talk show on WABC for a short time before returning to write "Kay's Korner" for the Daily News in 1993 before taking up radio broadcastings of New York Yankee games with John Sterling. In the late 1990s, Kay began working as a reporter for Fox Sports Net.
