Christian FM Announces New Partnership

Christian FM Media Group, parent company of SmartRadio Suite and River Radio Ministries (WCVO/Columbus 104.9 the River) announce a new partnership to syndicate the River’s successful morning show, Mornings with Mary & Josh.

Mary O’Brien and Josh Hooper have had a six-year run of entertainment, authenticity, and success in mornings at the River and are excited for the opportunity to grow! The duo reports, “ The fact that we get to share our faith and point to Jesus, all while having an incredible amount of fun, is simply amazing. We’re humbled and excited to partner with Christian FM in providing the show to stations outside the Central Ohio area. Mary & I believe this show is what Christian radio needs. It’s two real people, living out their real faith in the real world with real listeners.”

Christian FM President Jon Hamilton said, “We’re glad to immediately bring Mary and Josh to some great radio stations. Josh and Mary are also available through our SmartRadio Suite services, which
allows them to be fully local and sound amazing. Mary and Josh have been leaders on one of America’s most-successful regional brands, and we’re excited for them to bring that creativity to many more
stations.”

Mary & Josh have already launched Saturday mornings on 13 select stations nation-wide, and their full daily show launched January 25 on morning drives on KGGN/Hemet, CA (102.5 The Vine) in Southern California.
