Here’s what KVNE PD Bill Bumpas told HisAir, “We are grateful to God for this honor, and it is a reminder of the many lives that are impacted through Christian radio. As we continue to pray for a comfort for Susan O’Donnell‘s family and her passing, we’re reminded of the great legacy she left at KVNE. We’re excited for what the future holds for Encouragement Media Group with our expansion of KVNE to Shreveport in Little Rock. We’re also excited to see continued growth through our other stations: Fuzion (Spanish Christian Music) Lift Worship (Worship) and The Well (Bible Teaching).”
KKFS/Sacramento (103.9 The Fish) morning show Mike (Wilson) and Matt (Ivey) are staying on with Salem after this Friday Jan 31st when EMF takes over. The two will be moving their show over to sister AM station KTKZ/Sacramento (AM 1380 The Answer) starting Feb 10.
Mike who also serves as Operation Manager for the Sacramento group tells HisAir, “It’s going to be a big change for Matt and me as we move from playing CCM and having fun lifestyle conversations to a News Talk station discussing news and politics. We are excited to see how God takes our fun personalities and Christian worldview to bring light to the New Talk format. Many people complain the news is heavy and depressing and we hope to be able to open the conversation and format up to new listeners so they can stay informed about issues that relate to and impact them.”
