Kris & Chelsea

Kris Valentine

On-Air: Weekdays 2pm – 7pm

If my name sounds familiar, it’s because this is my 3rd time living and working in Minnesota, across the entire state. I’ve been on-air, across various parts of the country over the years, including, in order, Twin Cities, Cedar Rapids, St. Cloud, Colorado Springs, Denver, Portland, OR, Minneapolis, St. Cloud, again, back to the Twin Cities, Alexandria, MN, St. Cloud, and now on-air here in Grand Forks, where I’m excited to get the opportunity to entertain and be a part of your day every afternoon.

I currently live with my co-host, Chelsea Lee, and believe it or not, we’ve been together for more than four years on and off-air. We have two dogs, Daisy and Delilah, who shed way too much, at least according to me and my vacuum. I’m also a proud father to two amazing girls, Abigail and Kaitlyn, who are growing up way too fast.

When not on the air, I spend some of my free time streaming various shows, including Pawn Stars, Storage Wars, American Pickers, various Food Network shows, and pretty much any documentary I can find. With the rest of my limited free time, you can find me messing around on my computer or my PS5 or playing pickleball, which I have just discovered, as our community has new courts. Is there a documentary on this glorious game yet?

It feels so good to be back on-air, entertaining and hanging out with you every afternoon. I look forward to meeting you at our next event or around town.

On-Air: Weekdays 2pm – 7pm

Hey, I’m Chelsea! Much to my parents delight, I still work in the profession I went to college for! My first broadcast was a news and weather report at the dining room table when I was five, talking into a spoon. I’ve lived and worked all over the country from Washington DC to Washington State, and have landed back in the heart of it all, my beloved Midwest.

I’m a passionate foodie, my favorite perfume is leather and horse sweat and I’m a momma to two beautiful and comical rescue dogs, Daisy and Delilah. I love music of all kinds, and have performed everything from Disney hits, opera and my church praise band. So naturally, being on the radio combines everything I love: music, listening to people’s stories, and talking.

I’m doubly blessed to be able to live this dream with my partner Kris for the last 4+ years. We can’t wait to be part of your day on KYCK!!
