Randy Raley Biography:
 Randy grew up on a farm in southern Missouri and became infatuated withe the big voices on the big stations like KMOX, WLS, KAAY, WLAC and others from around the country. During high school, Randy got the radio bug so bad, he helped build the high school radio station. After getting a chance to be on the air at a radio station in Muscatine, Iowa, Randy never looked back.
With stops in the Quad Cities, Denver, and eight years on the air in Kansas City, St. Louis has been his home since 1985. After 13 years on the air at KSHE, Randy helped build a formidable challenger at KXOK-FM and then did smooth jazz and oldies along the way. "This is living life full circle" Randy says, "I can remember as a kid listening to the Cardinals every summer on KMOX, I am humbled to be a part of their legendary line up." "This show will touch you in so many ways and bring back great memories. Saturday night will truly be special."
