Has anybody been listening to Praise 89.5 fm in Dayton, Ohio. They started this Praise and Worship format about about 2 years ago. Wow, it is not our normal Praise and Worship, they claim they play the Most music in Dayton . I think they do next to K-Love. 93.7 in Dayton is Inspirational but has picked up Salem for Praise and Worship on Overnights and Weekends (could this be to compete with Praise 89.5) Praise 89.5 has a fresh sound in Dayton really impressed. I think the other locals in Dayton Christian may want to watch out!

As for my wife and I? Not since your change to P&W. I'm curious. Elsewhere you write from the "first person" perspective of a 89.5 employee. What's your job at Praise?

Yes I've listened to praise 89.5 since 1997 mainly since you are the only christian station programing MUSIC during your broadcast day. I wish you would get off top dead center and settle on your music format and stay there. You all finally quit mixing CHR with southern gospel local yocals......I appreciate that. Now let's decide if you are gonna be a Christian P&W station, Christian rock or a community operation. I'm referring to modern Christian music mixed with things like Melodies Of Germany and the Austrian show on Sunday. How about a local DJ in the evenings. QRP ,in the past, obviously hasn't stood for Quality Radio Programing.
P.S. I'm glad for your opportunity to host the concert Friday, but did I need to hear about it every 10 minutes.

> I must agree with you on past programming, former staff of WQRP dis not make the best programming decisions, and I think this was from a lack of experience. New direction took place about 2 years ago when former General Manager John Gale took over at at WQRP. First of all the change of format to MOdern Praise & Worship which was designed by John Gale. Then about 89 months ago , former WQRP jock Joe Laber took over as General/Programming Director. Joe has now brought the station to a new level of professionalism. Last Spring the station hit it's pledge drive goal (which has never been do in history of WQRP and any of it's formats)that tells you about how sucessful the formst is. WCFJ 93.7 tries to imulate the format by buying Salem Networks Praise and Worship Format(which in no way competes with Praise 89.5's format). Even WAKW's Robin St. John has relized the importance of Praise and Worship Music and has added a segment to her show in Cincinatti. Now to adress the Germans and the Hungarians's shows. We are proud to supply this programming to our German and Hungarian friends in the Miami Valley. This is just one more way we minister to our listening audience. We hope that listeners that tune in for this programming will stayed tuned into us (and in fact they do) so we may spread the word of Christ our Lord to them, we hope the same thing happens when we day part with WDPS. WE consider these positive things not negative. Our business underwriting has increased and Five Rivers MetroParks came to ask us to help sponsor Chris Tomlin. I will agree with you about WQRP in the past but the future is diffrent and we have been touched and blessed by our Lord Jesus.

Certainly not to belittle the situation, but wasn't that only something like $24,000 a couple of years ago and in the $80,000's now?
> WCFJ 93.7 tries to imulate the format by buying Salem

How not?
(I think I have an answer as to why you think that, but it's going to take us into very dangerous territory for a radio message board.)
> Even WAKW's Robin St. John...
Is it possible you mean "Kelly St James?"
> has relized the importance of Praise and Worship Music and has

I don't know that she decided that all on her own, I don't think that's a particularly unique idea, and I certainly don't believe it had anything to do with a station that can't be picked up in her market, especially considering that it's not even on the air in middays when Kelly is on!

Gosh, I really don't want to sound nasty and critical, but you're saying that as if you don't take their checks and run them to the bank the same day! A little more authenticity, please!
> ...we hope the same thing happens when we day part

Again, I really don't want to sound nasty and critical, but that's clearly spin. How do I know? Hey, people talk...ya hear things...and license transfers include sale prices.
> ...Five Rivers
> MetroParks came to ask us to help sponsor Chris Tomlin.
Okay, but, if I'm right, Chris has appeared in and around the market four times in the last couple of years. Is it possible others said, "oh...been there, done that?"
And, one more time, I'm really not wanting to sound nasty and critical, but a little more authenticity would really be a good thing.

I think frankly that your CHR rock format was better then praise and worship, All the AC stations lean praise and worship in their formats... How about something refreshing and different... I can hear Blessed be the name and your worthy of my praise on K-Love, WFCJ, CDR-FM and 93.3 out of Cinci.

OK you've now had your input.
The consensus: The Rock format was better.
My take from the very beginning: This P&W format sounds like Inspirational,
Why would you all want to me a ME TOO operation. Dayton is blessed with 4 strong FM Inspirational sounding statons why sould you want to compete with them instead of being original......Dayton asks for a CHR or rock Christian station as an alternative for our teenagers......None of the (5) [if we include WQRP] want to take the challenge........where the past management made programming mistakes they did make WQRP a little different not a copy of the 4 other stations.
NOTE: I'm not including K love in the 4. K love isn't powerful enough to cover all the metro.

Well RadioU will be coming to Dayton soon, and Springfield, while they will be lower powered FM Translators, at least someone will fill the void in that area, and from what I understand and I am not trying to step on 89.5's toes, but that area has wanted a Christian CHR/Rock type format for awhile, I remeber when DPS had RadioU on there one summer (98.7 or whatever it is) There was a lot of people who really liked it.
I think the 89.5 sumed it up, there was no $$$ support for that format (even if it was liked) so thats why they changed to PW because they could get more $$$ support out of it instead of the CHR format.<P ID="signature">______________

Again, what troubles me is that something very temporal is being used as a measure of success. Choice to progam Inspo, P&W, southern gospel or Christian polka notwithstanding. But more than enough said.

Re: 89.5 Dayton
I think you're thinking of 98.3 WKET in Kettering which is Kettering City Schools (not Dayton Public). I seem to remember they ran RadioU over the summer break for a while. I'm not sure how they got the feed, it could have been an Internet stream. I don't know if they did it for more than one year or not...they have since gone to automation to cover breaks.
