Northern Christian Radio CEO/Executive Director Pat Scott gives an update on the ice storm that hit his area and brought the WPHN/Gaylord tower down. Pat writes – Today was the first day I’ve been able to get to the site to see the damage to our 650’ tower in Johannesburg. This is our flagship station WPHN 90.5 as well as 92.5 The Source. I might also add this year is our 40th anniversary for Northern Christian Radio. It was back in 1985 April 7 Easter Sunday we went on the air for the first time.
The pictures that were sent to me, didn’t do it justice; actually being here and seeing the devastation in real time is really heartbreaking. Our adjuster had a chance to come out this week and survey the damage, hoping to get a report from him early next week. Our prayer would be that Crown Castle would donate the property to the ministry. A gift in kind might be cheaper for them in the long run since they have a second tower that collapsed here in Northern Michigan as well.

PLG artist Matthew West is forming a live choir of passionate, vocalists/fans to back him during a full concert performance in one of the most iconic venues in the world. West is inviting singers from across the country to join him on stage as part of his live concert at Carnegie Hall in New York City, June 26–29, 2025.

With just 76 spots remaining, this is a limited and extraordinary opportunity for singers to be part of a powerful musical moment that will inspire audiences and glorify God through song. 

Whether you’re a worship leader, choir member, or simply someone who’s been moved by Matthew West’s music, this is your chance to stand and sing on stage with him, lift your voice in harmony, and make history in a place where legends have performed.

Participants will enjoy a full New York City experience, including rehearsals, fellowship with fellow vocalists, and the chance to be featured in this unforgettable performance led by Matthew West himself.

Matthew West shared, “This is more than a concert. It’s a worship experience — and I want you to be a part of it. Singing at Carnegie Hall is something I’ll never forget, and I know it will be the same for everyone who joins this choir.”


HisAir INDUSTRY NEWS TIMELINE – April 11, 2022

At KBNJ/Corpus Cristi Station Manager morning host Joe Fahl is stepping down with Thursday his last day. Stepping up is afternoon host Juan Carlos Reyes as new Station Manage and morning host starting Monday 4/18.

On the new position Juan Carlos told HisAir, “I mean it still feels surreal. Joe has been a staple at KBNJ for almost 30 years, so it’s going to be so strange not seeing him every day. I know lot of people are going to miss the mess out of him. I know I sure will. I’m so humbled by this new opportunity. KBNJ and the Coastal Bend community mean so much to me, and I pray I can continue being a light to the listeners. I’m on Cloud 20, right now!”
