History of Valley Talk
Valley Talk went on the air when KGAL can back on the air (was at AM 920) at AM 1580 in 1995. KGAL goes back to 1950 at a lower dial position setting on 920 AM until the call letters were changed in the late 1980's to KGAL's sister station KSHO. KGAL-FM existed at 102.3 in early/mid '90's.

Valley Talk originally aired from 8:30 am to 9:00 Monday - Friday. Host Dick Manning launched the show and did the daily live and local talk show duties until shifting to part time in 2003 due to health reasons. Dick remained on the air sharing the host duties with Jim Willhight until his death in July of 2003.

In 2003 the show expanded to 1 full hour and moved to 11 to Noon, Monday- Thursday still originating live from our Valley Talk Studio in the Flinn Building in Downtown Albany.

On Dick Manning's passing in July 2003 Radio Ray and Jim Willhight split the Valley Talk live hosting duties. In July of 2004 Valley Talk began Podcasting, archiving shows in the mp3 format for free download on the internet.
