Manning’s chief responsibility centers on his Managing Partner position with Our Three Sons Broadcasting LLC, the parent company of News - Talk AM 1340 WRHI and Interstate 107 (WRHM-WVSZ). When he’s not guiding the day-to-day operations of the business, Manning hosts "Straight Talk", a 30-minute public affairs and issues program heard every weekday from 12:30 - 1:00 PM. 

Kimmel’s interest in national and local issues first led him to the news side of the business where he began his 30-year broadcasting career. He is a regular contributor to the award-winning Newstalk 1340 WRHI newsroom. A native of Wilmington, Delaware, Manning’s Southern heritage (his grandfather was from Kentucky) led him to Rock Hill in 1984. A graduate of the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee, Manning is also a licensed pilot with a love of technology and all things electronic in nature.  And when he’s not on--or in--the air, you might find him riding his Harley-Davidson motorcycle with Sheilah, his wife of 30+ years. The couple also has two grown sons, Manning and Singleton.

Manning is a firm advocate of a refreshing rarity in American broadcasting--locally owned radio. "Everything we do (at WRHI/WRHM/WVSZ) is centered on our community," says Kimmel. "We have an obligation to be its voice, to discuss the issues which affect us, and to ensure we keep our sense of community and the qualities which make this such an exceptional place to live. This is where we live, work, play and pray. Rock Hill and York County is just a great place to live."

Kimmel backs up his belief by being involved in the community. He is currently the Chairman of the Rock Hill Economic Development Corporation, Capital Fund Chairman of the YMCA of Fort Mill, Rock Hill and Tega Cay, and Chairman of Christians to Feed the Hungry a non-profit organization which helps provide food and medical care to the indigent in our community.
