It’s only been two weeks since Patti contacted Radio KIRV in Fresno. You see, we’re doing a book signing at Russo’s Books in Bakersfield, and she was doing our usual round of media contacts in preparation for that. All Patti asked for was to be put on the community calendar; we just were trying to let people know. (By the way? October 13th, noon-3p.m. – we’ll be at Russo’s Books in Bakersfield, on Ming Street. You should really come by!)
The program director at KIRV is an amazingly energetic woman named Alice, bursting with creativity, energy, and enthusiasm. As she talked with Patti on the phone, she pulled up our website and looked over the book samples in the Google preview. “Have you ever thought of having a radio show?” Alice asked. Maybe a five minute spot every morning, she thought, so that people could hear the daily devotional on the radio as they go to work?
And, so our adventure begins!
Starting next Tuesday, September 4th, 2012, Timeless Devotions with Classic Christianity will air from 8:00 to 8:05a.m. every Monday through Friday on KIRV 1510am out of Fresno! We love our timeslot, just before Charles Stanley’s In Touch broadcast. If you’re in the San Joaquin Valley, please tune in and join us, won’t you? If you are NOT in the San Joaquin Valley, you can listen to it streaming live on KIRV online!
As daughters of parents who met in a radio store, whose father taught radio communications at Fort Monmouth, NJ to thousands of servicemen in WWII, whose parents often talked about how ‘someone’ needed to record or broadcast Papa’s writings so that more people could hear the message of salvation and purpose they hold, we are jumping up and down inside with joy at the potential. Pray for us, won’t you? Our dearest desire is to bring encouragement and hope to as many people as possible.
So, beginning next Tuesday, if you happen to flip past 1510am on your radio dial at 8am, while you are somewhere between Bakersfield and Modesto, you just might hear one of us say, “Welcome to Timeless Devotions, with Classic Christianity…”
Blessings!
Cara & Patti
