Congratulations to Carolina Christian Radio WWIL/Wilmington (Life 90.5) celebrates 33 years of radio ministry. Congratulations to founders Jim Stephens and Dan Eaddy.
Jim Stephens worked for a Raleigh Christian station but vacationed in Wilmington. When he turned on the radio, he found no Christian stations, so he took over WWIL. Stephens struggled financially after moving to Wilmington but he got numerous cards and letters from people who enjoyed the contemporary Christian music and nationally syndicated ministers. Stephens needed for these listeners to prove their support with cash, and they did. WWIL-FM, a 20,000-watt signal, was added in 1995.
WZDG/Wilmington, NC (Hope Radio) morning co-host Mac McCoy has passed away.
Mac’s morning partner Keven Groves said remembered how people would approach them at events and concerts: “Folks would come up to talk to us… but the first thing they always wanted to know is ‘Which one of you is the Macademus?’ And I would always just say, ‘The tall one.’”
Keven adds, “The songs that we play that we sing about the Lord, about heaven – we believe them. And Mac now is seeing what we have been singing about for all these years.”
