From June 2001 for two years he was the BBC's full-time radio horse racing commentator, succeeding Peter Bromley.

He has presented the daily sports round-up on BBC South on the weekday evening BBC South Today programme, and the Saturday afternoon show Sportstime on BBC Radio Solent. On the same radio station, he co-hosted the Sunday morning music and phone-in show Sunday Scene.
In July 2011 McKenzie was one of the judges at the final of the Filly Factor, a competition to find Britain's first female horse racing commentator.
In April 2012 he co-commentated on the 2012 Grand National with TV presenter James May in a recorded feature for the Man Lab programme first broadcast on BBC2 on 28 March 2013. The commentary was also broadcast live on the BBC Red Button.
He covered the equestrian events at the 2012 Summer Olympics for host broadcaster Olympic Broadcasting Services. He is a regular contributor to horse racing discussions on Talksport radio and in March 2016 he partnered presenter Ian Danter and Rupert Bell during the launch programme of the new Talksport 2 franchise at the Cheltenham Festival.
