A new syndicated radio program dedicated to retro CCM is expanding its affiliate footprint across the United States.
“Win the Day Replay,” a two-hour weekly show, highlights music from the Jesus Movement era of the 1970s through the early 2000s. The program is produced by veteran broadcaster Randal J. “Randy” Miller, who retired in August 2025 after a 52-year career in local radio, including more than 40 years as a station owner.
The show launched on two stations on February 8 this year, and has since grown to 11 affiliates in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Florida, and Alaska. It is designed primarily for weekend airplay and is available to both commercial and non-commercial stations, with distribution handled via FTP download. In addition to the music, “Win the Day Replay” features short faith-based content. Excerpts from podcasts produced by Miller’s nonprofit, Win the Day Ministries, Inc., are edited into 60-second segments and woven into each episode.
Stations also receive four minutes of local inventory per hour, providing ample time for local advertising or station-specific messaging within the two-hour program.
For more information contact Miller at 217 652 0964 or by e-mail rjm1955@gmail.com.

Todd Stach’s Beyond 615 says yu can use A.I. and remain authentically human. TODD AI can help you with Break Construction, Delivery, Bring-in Lines, Storytelling, and Exiting… all within Todd Stach’s radio coaching strategies and philosophies.
Last year at Momentum, a speaker challenged the room to dive into AI Agents… to help with tasks and processes, which would help free you up to be more creative. Well, Craig McDonald, who Todd coaches at KJIL, took that to heart and began developing AI Agents. One of those agents helps him evaluate his planned radio breaks. A few months ago Craig referred to his AI Agent as “Todd AI.”
After months of tweaking, TODD AI has been fully developed and is ready for you! To find out more visit the Todd Stach AI link HERE
