KGGN/Hemet, CA (102.5 The Vine) GM Chris Thompson is looking to acquire a studio console.
Chris says, “Growth is great, but its growth on a budget . . . So, if you have something similar to this in storage, in the old prod room, the old board that the last PD bought but you already upgraded, that board you found at a yard sale, and since you are a hoarder, you bought for a rainy day, or your station just got purchased and Nashville is bringing in some new studio equipment, or you have a used board and you are interested to “see what you can get for this,” please let me know.”
If you can help reach out to Chris at chris@1025thevine.org.

HisAir INDUSTRY NEWS FLASHBACK – On This Day Nov 27, 2018
Effective today WJQK/Grand Rapids has changed it’s name from JQ99 to “Joy 99.3″…. Since 1987, the station was known as WJQ or JQ99. WJQK personality Ceci Labarge tells HisAir.Net, “from time to time we have been asked what WJQ or JQ stood for. The truthful answer…nothing. They needed to pick call letters and at that time they thought WJQ sounded the best. The staff at Joy99.3 wants everyone to know exactly what we are here for. We feel our new name allows us to be even more intentional about who we are being called to be. Sharing the Joy that only comes from our Savior Jesus Christ! There are no staff changes or music changes, just sharing JOY.”
