From staff reports

Journalist Patrick Lalley is joining KSOO-AM as the host of an afternoon news show.

He’ll be on the air from 3 to 5 p.m. weekdays on the Results Radio Townsquare Media station, starting June 19.

Lalley most recently served as the news director for Argus Leader Media.

“My hope is to engage KSOO listeners with a variety of news, information and analysis,” he wrote in a post on the radio station’s website. “It’s not just government and politics, however. The topics will cover about anything that interests us and excites the great people who live here. … There will be something for everybody, not just a narrow slice of some stereotypical political or social construct.”

His producer will be Dan Peters.

KSOO-AM 1140 lost its local afternoon show when Rick Knobe retired. Knobe, a former Sioux Falls mayor, had been on the air for more than 30 years.

In addition to the show, Lalley will write for KSOO.com and other Results Radio stations.
