KQQL (KOOL 108)/Minneapolis midday air personality Lee Valsvik will be inducted into the Minnesota Broadcaster's Hall of Fame. She began her radio and television career in the 1980's and has grown to become one of the best-known media personalities in the Twin Cities metro area. Valsvik has been part of five of the metro's largest radio stations and became a regular on television, making weekly appearances on KARE 11's Saturday morning news program.

"It's hard to imagine a career as lengthy and successful as Lee Valsvik's. In a tremendous variety of formats, in every shift imaginable - all she's ever done is excellent work, and there is no better teammate than Lee," said iHeartMedia Minneapolis Senior Vice President of Programming Gregg Swedberg. "It proves that good things come to good people, and we look forward to hearing Lee on KOOL 108 and iHeart Minneapolis for a long time to come. The very definition of a Minnesota Hall of Fame Broadcaster."

"She has engaged and entertained listeners and viewers for 25+ years and is a constant in the media industry. No one deserves to be in the Hall of Fame more than Lee," added Market President Greg Alexander. "She is true professional."
