WJTL/Lancaster hosted its 12th annual Kids Cookie Break Fest on the grounds of their home at The Junction Center in Manheim, PA. This year WJTL is celebrating 25 years of the Kids Cookie Break (or KCB) with Lisa Landis and 40 years of radio ministry for WJTL.
KCB is a Saturday morning radio program for kids of all ages that also goes live on location to events throughout the listening area. KCB Fest is an annual free festival for families featuring 2 stages of music and entertainment, bounce houses, food trucks, interactive vendors from local ministries and organizations, barrel trains, a covered wagon ride, balloon twisters and much more! WJTL hosts 2 identical programs on the same day. This year over 100 volunteer spots were filled by listeners. Families in attendance donated peanut butter, canned tuna and canned chicken to benefit the local Power Packs Project, an organization with a mission to end hunger in local schools over the weekend when free school breakfast and lunches aren’t available. ,

HisAir NEWS FLASHBACK – Sep 4, 2018
It was a radio promotion that WAY-FM, Centricity Music, and Lauren Daigle won’t soon forget. What started as a flyaway with Lauren Daigle turned into a marriage proposal. According to Justin Paul, WAY-FM Evening Personality and Network Promotions Director, “After awarding the trip to Tallahassee, FL listener Scott Slappey, he shared that not only was Lauren Daigle one of his girlfriend Ann Morton’s favorite artists, but that she’s always wanted to ride in a hot air balloon. He’d even thought of potentially proposing at an upcoming hot air balloon festival. The stars had aligned. After he secured a ring, it was a done deal.”
