Chelsea Valentine
On-Air: Weekdays 2pm – 6pm
Chelsea spent years in the high-stakes world of “breaking news,” anchoring and reporting from the fast-paced streets of D.C. and Seattle back to the familiar lakes of Minnesota. She’s seen the “tough stuff” firsthand—fighting through her own battle with cancer and standing up for victims of crime in rural MN. She’s dealt with the heavy, the hard, and the BLEEP moments of life. But those experiences didn’t harden her; they just gave her a better reason to laugh.
In 2020, Chelsea decided to trade the police scanners for artist interviews, realizing that while she still loves a good story, she’d much rather share the ones that lift people up. She traded hard news for the common threads we all share: the love of a good song, the bond of a community, and the hope that keeps us moving.
The best part of the story? Jumping into radio led her straight to her “fearless leader” and husband, Kris Valentine. Today, they’re the duo of Central MN, broadcasting alongside their two official station mascots (and dogs), Daisy and Delilah. Chelsea is humbled to be your daily escape, proving every day that no matter what you’ve been through, there is always room for more hope, more laughter, and a heck of a lot more country music.
