Writers and so much more—here are the people behind MITCHELL NOW.
Christal Blue
Christal Blue is a Navy brat who spent her childhood in St. Paul, Minnesota and her adulthood living all over the Midwest and East Coast. She has been connecting with radio listeners since her career began in Grand Forks, North Dakota in 2000. Christal has spent the last 25 years on the air, serving listeners across the country while raising her two children – one a successful video game designer in Austin, Texas and the other a stage manager in the New York City theatre scene.
After a long career with five successful Morning Shows, and ratings success in every daypart, she stepped away from a full-time studio in the summer of 2021. These days, she’s enjoying the empty nest life with her husband Randy and pursuing her interests in broadcast news with Mitchell Radio Group.

Riley Harrington
I was born and raised in Armour SD, and went to Southeast Technical College for Digital Media Production hoping to make it in the commercial filming business. I started my radio career with KOOL back in 2017. This opportunity was the first one to come along post graduation, and I started as a part time board op for football.
I have been active in the community of Mitchell serving the Mitchell Area Community Theatre, both on stage and behind the curtain. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my fiancé, lifting weights, and enjoying nature.
Music has always been a big part of my life, and this job has given me many opportunities to flex that muscle. My favorite artists include David Byrne, The Beastie Boys, and Jimmy Pop.
