4fd5fa86-7131-43f5-9455-de535f0be634 OUR DJs < Back Lesley Galbraith G’day! Here is a little bit about me. I was born in England. Leicester, to be exact. I raised on the west coast of Canada. Then moved to Ottawa. And moved to Florida. Then to Las Vegas. And finally back home where I belong in Canada. I have a wonderful teenage son, three cats and seven dogs. Yes, seven dogs! I come from a very theatrical family, and it’s only fitting that my career took me to the live stage. I worked for a repertory theater in Daytona Beach, Florida for 10 years and with the cast and crew of hotel shows in Vegas. But something was missing. So I came home and I am so very lucky to be doing what I love here at Valley Heritage Radio. I was the first “employee” hired at the station back in 2006. Right now – as program and production manager – I write and produce the commercials for the station, but a big part of my job is making sure that all the programming that you hear on 98.7, comes off without a hitch. So, when you’re listening to the station and hear a commercial or jingle on the radio, well, that’s probably me! Thanks for listening. Program Super Saturday 60's, 70's & 80's Show Every Saturday night from 7 to 10 p.m., join me, Lesley Galbraith, as I take you back in time to the 70s and beyond. We’ll explore the decades that saw the rise of disco, progressive rock, pop country, new wave, pop rock, soft rock and much more, with some interesting facts thrown in for good measure. Yesterday Today Old Time Radio From the 30s to the 50s, one of the dominant forms of mass media and entertainment was radio shows including Drama, Comedy, Mystery and Horror, all presented in a purely audio format. Yesterday Today Old Time Radio is proud to bring you these shows each and every Wednesday night from 8 to 10 p.m. So, sit back, relax and grab your favourite beverage and join me, Lesley Galbraith as we travel back in time together.

7295f6e1-64d4-4679-88fc-ef2d421cc4e9 OUR DJs < Back Devon Black Devon Black is a quiet individual who hails from the small town of Cobden and assists with the technical production of material the station creates for airplay. Devon is currently attending college for a career in audio engineering. He is most commonly recognized by his terrifyingly all-natural evil laugh that strikes fear into the hearts of friends, foes and victims alike. Do not fret however, he’s harmless. We think. Program A Pickin' and a Thinkin' Pickin’ & Thinkin’ is an infectious mix of equal parts bluegrass and country music hosted by VHR’s own Devon Black. Tune in every Saturday from 2 to 4 p.m. to hear some tunes you’ll want to pick along with and discover a few more that’ll give you something to think about. Previous Next

Jason Marshall < Back The New Oldies Jason Marshall Friday 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm If you’re a fan of 1980s and 1990s country music – then The New Oldies is the show for you. Hosted by Jason Marshall, the two-hour show shines the spotlight on the country music boom of that era and features the great music of the day including Garth Brooks, Randy Travis, George Strait, Shania Twain, Alan Jackson, Reba McEntire and many, many more. The show also features a great deal of Canadian content, as well as a featured song from local artists who were touring the Valley in 80s and 90s. And what show would be complete without a weekly dose of Stompin’ Tom Connors? In the era of big blown-dry hair and skinny leather ties (and Jason has the photos of him sporting both well hidden) – there was also some great country music, and you can find it on Valley Heritage Radio each Friday night from 8 to 10 p.m. Previous Next
