Consultant Brian Wright told HisAir, “WCSG is one of the most engaging radio stations I’ve ever worked with. They’re built to enhance the lives of their listeners, no matter what stage of life they’re in, through broad, consensus-driven appeal. From encouraging laughter to deeply authentic spiritual content, WCSG consistently focuses on building meaningful relationships rather than the difficulty of getting there. It’s a passionate team determined to be the hands and feet of God, just as they were created to be.”

The JOY FM/Florida revealed this year T-Shirt design for it’s annual “T-Shirt for Turkeys” promotion. The station with the help of listeners will be stocking the freezers of the many food banks and ministries in the Tampa area who feed local, hurting families. The frozen turkeys donated will go immediately to the freezers of area food banks and homeless shelters. From there they will be turned into food boxes, holiday meal plates, and the warmth of hope and God’s love for the unfortunate in our community, many of whom are children.
