Bill Davis host of Faith on Record that air on Moody Radio, announces he will be retiring at the end of the month.
Sunday, March 26th will be the last broadcast of Faith on Record (Sundays 8-10:55 p.m. CT). On April 2nd Moody will transition to The Praise & Worship Channel format to provide continuity for the many affiliates that carry that music programming overnight.
Bill Davis would like to thank the many stations who jumped on board with Faith on Record to provide listeners with many of their favorite CCM artists of the 70s, 80s, and 90s.
“It has been a tremendous privilege to play classic Christian songs for a group of listeners who have been so supportive and responsive to the program over the years. I am very grateful for the opportunity to have hosted Faith on Record.”
