Kelly Stevens wakes up the Valley every morning on HOT-101.

Raised in Trumbull County (Southington), Kelly’s hometown roots run deep.

Kelly loves everything about the Mahoning Valley — the people, the food, the festivals, and the fact that around here, you don’t have to be from here to be considered part of the family.

She met her husband, Bob — affectionately known as “6-foot-8” — and the two built a life full of laughter, love, and controlled chaos with their two kiddos, Zoey and Carter and now have their parents/grandparents living with them. She likes to say “We put the “fun” in dysfunction.”

Kelly admits she’s not a cook and remembers the trauma of being teased when she burned a batch of “no-bake cookies” but she and Bob make a perfect team: she shops, he cooks, and everyone does clean-up. Plus living here we have access to the BEST restaurants and take-out places. Who needs to cook?

For Kelly, every new stage her kids reach is “the best yet,” and every day she’s on the air, she’s grateful to share a laugh and a story with the community she loves most — the Valley she’s proud to call home.
