Radio News for December 2024

 

December is always a great month for radio listening!  Again, this year during December, we will have more specials airing than in any other month, and we play holiday music as well!  Remember that we are at 99.3 FM on the broadcast dial, and on the internet at www.wtpblp.com and choose “Listen Live”

 

This year we will begin with our Holiday and Christmas music on Monday, December 16 and continue with many programs through Thursday, December 26!  Mike Williamson will have several Christmas shows including some repeats of his shows from previous years. We will air the St. Olaf College Christmas Concert several times, as well as Tabernacle Choir Concerts from recent years.

Don Ferguson on Music from Broadway and Hollywood will feature Christmas and Holiday themed shows as well.   These one hour shows air in rotation Monday and Friday at 10 AM, and Wednesday and Sunday afternoons at 4 PM.

 

As always, we will be able to hear messages that are based on the scripture readings for the season on our Sunday and Wednesday morning and afternoon programs: Wonderful Words of Life from the Salvation Army (11:40 AM); Day 1 (The best of Protestant Preaching noon); Sing for Joy (from St. Olaf College, Northfield, Minnesota 12:30 PM);  Westminster Presbyterian of Rockford (1 PM);  and The Lutheran Hour at 1:30 PM.   And, of course, Third Presbyterian Worship at 10:15 AM Sunday and Wednesday!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!     –  Rev. Murray Hanson, Station Manager
