CFCO reaches the St. Louis area at night well these days. The former KXOK, now KYFI, still broadcasts on 630, but can easily be nulled at night at my location. For me, Can-Con Country is more entertaining than the Bible Broadcast Network anyway!
Does BBN have any listeners over 70?
So let's give a listen to the original.....
And indeed. Ben E. King did have the original. I had forgotten about that one, so my thanks to Bob for bringing that up. I have to say that all three of the English language versions did a credible job of capturing the power and passion of the original.
I couldn't believe you guys were talking about anything the but the Ben E. King original. I sampled all the others that were mentioned. By comparison- weak. weak. weak.
Does BBN have listeners?
I'm sure BBN does in rock-solid Red Bible Belt areas. And by those who are devout Evangelical Christians. In a market like Seattle, where they have an affiliate on 91.7, it probably gets very few listeners; in places like Palestine, TX (KYFP-89.1, 100,000 watts), probably a lot more. It's a very old-fashioned Christian network.
Where I live, we get CSN (KAWZ), K-LOVE, and Life Talk, a Seventh-Day Adventist network. The latter is the most 'old-fashioned' sounding of the networks, of course, K-LOVE being CCM music, and CSN is more of just preaching and Jay Sekulow with very occasional worship music. Life Talk runs Adventures in Odyssey, CSN does not.

This is a great thread which connects all the dots, and I thought I would post something before it goes dormant. Here's an obscure connection. We've talked about Glen Campbell and WLS, and obscure song adds. In 1963, there was a song called "Baby I Do Love You" by the Galens, an English lyrical adaptation of the German Folk song "Du Liegst Mir In Herzen". When the song was recorded, the producer didn't like the way the group member played the Saw with a Violin bow, so he got Glen Campbell to play it. The sound was similar to a Theremin, which became very popular a few years later. Glen bowed the Saw while bending it back and forth. I remember hearing it on WLS in 1963, before the playlist became so tight.

Interesting. i have a pretty decent memory for this sort of stuff, but I don't remember this one. Challenge records got my attention, however. Division of Warner Brothers, IIRC. Glen Campbell did have a connection of sorts with that label. He had spent time as a member of the Champs, who had releases on Challenge. Including their instrumental version of "Limbo Rock around that time (1963_. Which also would have coincided with Campbell's tenure with that group.
