I see that you must be a fan of Relevant, so I thought you might be iinterested to know that on June 26th, they are getting some new programming. They will be adding two new programs on appologetics and spirituality. Sheila, their mid-day host will have a renamed one hour show in the evenings. Most notibly, Dr. Ray will do his new "Dr. Ray and Friends" for Relevant Radio. I am guessing that both he and Dr. Colleen will be off Ave Maria and EWTN. I'm guessing that Dr. Colleen will make the move with him. They announced this all on the air on Wednesday, but I so far haven't seen news on it on line. Stay tuned!

Relevant Radio:
Remodels new studio in Madison

By Kathleen Bushman
CATHOLIC HERALD STAFF

... This is the new Relevant Radio studio on Madison's west side, where the local angle of the national network gets taped, produced, and sent out to be broadcast to your radio or streamed to your computer. It took two weeks to convert the studio from its former purpose of serving the Madison Media Institute - and later, housing boxes - and it's still being completed, but it has already become a radio home for the three men who make the local station happen. ...
