Donna Valentine and Steve Patterson

KYMY (myTalk 107.1)/Minneapolis' Donna Valentine and Steve Patterson (The Donna & Steve Experience) weekday show hosts launch syndicated Donna & Steve, a weekend program targeted for music stations in partnership with Skyview Networks. Beginning this fall, Donna & Steve will air in weekends on a national scale. With Skyview Networks, the partnership promises to deliver a fresh perspective to radio affiliates' weekend music programming.

"Doing this show together is an absolute joyride and we can't wait for a national audience to climb aboard and be part of the fun," said Valentine. "When listeners are seeking laugher and connection, our goal is to deliver both."

"When we started this show together, Donna was a professional broadcaster, and now she's become as weird and unhinged as I am," added Patterson. "I couldn't be prouder."

The syndicated show will feature a blend of storytelling, entertainment and conversations on topics ranging from current events to lifestyle trends. The combination of Donna's animal-loving, single woman lifestyle and Steve's family-filled antics as a husband and father of four creates a wholesome on-air relationship that speaks to a wide-reaching audience.

myTalk 107.1 Program Director Amy Daniels said, "Donna and Steve have had chemistry, a unique dynamic, and friendship from day one. We are proud to deliver the show to music stations across the country that are looking for original personalities that bring a hilarious, real, and relatable vibe to their weekends."

"The energy between Donna and Steve resonates with audiences seeking a genuine listening experience," stated Skyview Networks SVP, Business Development and Communication Andrew Kalb. "Having them on board not only enhances Skyview's programming portfolio, but also our commitment to delivering authentic entertainment through cutting-edge broadcast solutions and innovative sales strategies."

Donna & Steve is designed for Hot AC and AC music formats and will be available four hours, Saturday or Sunday, in short breaks to fit seamlessly into affiliates' weekend programming.
