ReZurrection Radio has launched a playlist on Spotify featuring the music of the 40 year history KLTY/Dallas.
President/GM Ron Diaz says, “We here at ReZurrection Radio would never ever duplicate that if we tried. What we have done our best to do is capture the spark they did with the music they played. To remember the last 40 years of their dedicated service to North Texas. We couldn’t possible play every song that KLTY has ever played but we did try to capture at least the highlights and some of the best music they played & was performed at many of the Celebrate Freedom festivals they held from Las Colinas to South Fork Ranch.

WBGL/Champaign teamed up with Sleep in Heavenly Peace for a community-centered event that brought listeners, staff, and volunteers together to construct beds for children in need. During the build day on Saturday, February 8, the WBGL studios were transformed into a bustling workshop where 130 volunteers worked alongside WBGL staff to assemble 80 beds.
In addition to bed building, WBGL listeners also contributed linens, bedding, and pillows to ensure that each bed was fully outfitted for the child who would receive it.
“When we moved into this building, our dream was to host events like this where we could partner with local organizations to meet community needs,” said WBGL station manager Jeff Scott. “It’s incredible to see these volunteers joined together for one purpose, to build beds for children in need. This is Kingdom work!”
