So glad that you are doing this. I listen to KPDQ fm from Portland, OR. They have southern gospel music every Sat. night from 7 -10 pm. I hope they have kept files over the years. Also Bill Gaither has done much to preserve the music & groups. Thank you for your part in the preservation. Ruby Supina

I am not regularly in contact with WBTX since I live out of the area (No. Va.), but we are often there since my husband is a Broadway native and I as well as he have siblings living in the area (also we both went to EMU in the 70s). I did not know WBTX’s status as a southern gospel station since it’s been a long time since I tuned it in. This article caught my attention because I am an aficianado, not so much of southern gospel (although I enjoy it), as of CCM, especially early CCM, since its “coming of age” corresponded with mine. What a time it was. I’m writing with two questions: Are there programs on the station that are devoted to early CCM? And I have a pretty good collection of old records from the era if you’re interested in anything in particular.

Chris has been a tremendous asset to WBTX since he has joined the staff.
