“I am so excited that we are bringing the Hallelujah brand to Jacksonville,” said Nicky Sparrow, Market President of iHeartMedia Jacksonville. “iHeart’s Hallelujah family of Gospel stations are already loved by so many, and I’m confident that our listeners here in the Jacksonville market will genuinely connect with the station’s uplifting music, on-air lineup, and overall message.”

Gary says, “This has been a long process in getting this new space developed, but we’re finally moved in. The sound panels and some other additional things are needed, but we’re almost there, and God is good.”

The Rev FM has continued to have worship events including Jordan Feliz this last December they will welcome Jason Gray is coming this next Friday and also again in March for a different event. Gary adds, “We have Cain coming in March, and also excited to book Holly Starr, Rend Collective, and others this year. It’s crazy busy, and had been in 2020 in spite of the pandemic.”
