Leighton Media has debuted a new afternoon show on three of its Country stations.
“Wild Country 99” KZPK Paynesville/St. Cloud MN, “KJ Country” 96.5 KJJK-FM Fergus Falls MN, and “97 KYCK” Crookston MN/Grand Forks ND have launched the “Kris & Chelsea Show” in afternoons.
KZPK Program Director Kris Valentine comes on-air to join longtime partner Chelsea Lee, who moves from mornings. Valentine joined KZPK as Program Director in December with Lee joining the station in mornings with both previously working at Hubbard’s “100.7 Kik-FM” KIKV Alexandria where Valentine was PD/morning host and Lee co-host. Valentine previously programmed KZPK from 2016-18 and has previously worked on-air in Denver, Minneapolis, and Portland. The duo replace Brook Stephens in afternoons on KZPK and KYCK, while Lee had already been tracking afternoons on KJJK.
The Kelly Jordan Show continues in mornings on the three stations. Jordan is now teamed with Bryan Riley and ‘Intern Natalie’ following Chelsea Lee’s move to the afternoon show. Riley also hosts middays at KZPK.
