Heartbreaking. Paul and I shared a lot of good laughs over the years. He was one of one, and I can honestly say I’m better at my job because of him. RIP.

Paul Gallo 1947-2025

Mississippi lost one of its most iconic voices and passionate champions with the passing of Paul Gallo on January 19. For over five decades, Paul didn’t just talk about Mississippi—he helped shape its story. From his first day behind a microphone on February 12, 1968, to his final broadcast, Paul dedicated his life to his listeners, his state, and the pursuit of truth.

Paul’s journey into radio began on his 21st birthday when he stepped into the studio for the first time, receiving the gift of a career that would define his life and leave a mark on Mississippi. From DJ to Program Director, from sales and management to ownership, Paul mastered every facet of the industry. His name became synonymous with excellence in Mississippi media, most notably as the host of The Gallo Radio Show, the heartbeat of the SuperTalk Mississippi network.

When Paul joined the SuperTalk family in January of 1990 he helped bring Steve Davenport’s vision of a statewide talk network to life. What began as a single station grew into a powerhouse network, amplifying Mississippi’s stories and voices to millions across the state and beyond via radio, SuperTalk TV, and digital platforms.

“Mississippi has lost a giant today,” said Steve Davenport, Owner of SuperTalk MS Media. “For over 30 years he was my friend – a true brother in broadcast and in life. To Paul, radio wasn’t just a career, it was a calling. His favorite part of the job, as he often said, was ‘our audience family.’ His listeners weren’t just numbers, they were the pulse of everything he did. He made everyone feel like they were sitting across the table from an old friend, drawn in by his voice and captivated by his unwavering passion for Mississippi. I will miss him dearly, just as I know people from all corners of this state will miss him.”

Paul loved Mississippi deeply. It wasn’t just the backdrop to his career—it was his purpose. He believed in its potential, celebrated its successes, and never shied away from addressing its challenges. Whether shining a light on political issues or spotlighting the human stories that defined the Magnolia State, Paul used his platform to move Mississippi forward.

What truly set Paul apart was his gift for storytelling. He didn’t just report the news, he brought it to life. With humor, heart, and an uncanny ability to weave complex issues into relatable narratives, Paul could make you laugh, make you mad, and make you think, but more importantly, he made you care. Through his stories, he painted a vivid picture of Mississippi’s soul—the good, the bad, and the extraordinary. His storytelling wasn’t just entertaining, it was a masterclass in connection.

Paul’s impact on Mississippi politics was unparalleled. From his desk in the studio, he became a true force for change, holding leaders accountable and amplifying the voices of Mississippians who wanted to be heard. He played a pivotal role in shaping debates and policy, challenging political figures, and giving context to the most critical issues of the day. His ability to break down complex topics with clarity, wit, and passion earned him a reputation as a trusted voice of reason.

Over the years, Paul’s guest list read like a who’s who of Mississippi and national newsmakers. From governors to U.S. senators, and everyone in between. His reach even extended to the White House during pivotal moments in history. Yet despite the high-profile interviews and national attention, Paul’s focus always remained on Mississippi—its people, its progress, and its future. He was the Godfather of SuperTalk and talk radio in Mississippi.

Off the air, Paul was a true nature lover who would often sit on his back porch with family and friends to watch and listen to birds as they serenaded them with their songs. He was well-traveled, an avid reader, and a passionate fan of the St. Louis Cardinals. Despite moving away from the Delta as a young adult, Paul stayed true to his roots and often returned there to fish and hunt with his children and grandchildren.

One of the things Paul was most proud of during the latter part of his career was telling the stories of children in need and helping those children find a place to call home. He did just that through diligently supporting and helping to raise over $2.7 million for the Palmer Home for Children during SuperTalk Mississippi Media’s Annual Radiothon.

As we reflect on Paul’s life, we remember not only the legendary broadcaster but the man who never stopped believing in Mississippi and its people. Paul Gallo’s voice may be silent, but his stories, his legacy, and his vision will forever echo across the state he loved so dearly.

Paul Gallo is survived by his beloved wife of 55 years Patsy, his children Jennifer Campbell (Jason) and Mark Galtelli (Susan), his six grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren, his SuperTalk family, and the countless lives he touched through the airwaves.

Rest in peace, Paul, our brother in broadcast. Your voice will forever be a part of Mississippi’s story.

Funeral arrangements for Paul are pending and information will be provided once the arrangements are finalized.

Great job by @benomilam and @SuperTalkNews. Big hire for Southern Miss

[Ross Dellenger @RossDellenger]

The Huff-to-Southern Miss negotiations began days ago and was first reported a week ago by local radio affiliates in Mississippi.

If the deal gets signed, the Eagles hire a coach who won a conference title and 10 games this year and had 32 wins in four seasons.
