KSBJ/Houston air personality Mike Cannon has been inducted into the Texas Radio Hall of Fame .
Mike told HisAir today, “Using the gifts God gave me for Him is the icing on the cake of my radio career. Being on the air has always been a blast, but answering the phone and talking a distraught listener out of suicide or leading them to The Lord is way better. I’m grateful for this honor but more so that God can and has used me in the lives of others.”
