Actually, it
was much easier than you might think. Ti-RoneŽ is
basically an advice program that tries to give positive
solutions to life's problems. What more positive advice
can I give than to advise a person to seek God's help?
God is a very important foundation for Ti-RoneŽ. On one
program I teased the audience saying "This is Ti-RoneŽ
on your radio phone and I'm coming out of the closet right
after this!" then went to commercial. Man, what
they must have been thinking! After the commercial,
I came on and said, "As I told you before, I am coming
out of the closet! I want everybody out there to know
that I am a Christian! That's right, Jesus Christ
is my Lord and Savior." I'm sure there were some
who were quite disappointed.
Eventually, I came in to contact with Tommy Smalls,
program director of WTHE, a gospel station in New York.
I asked Tommy about the possibility of being on his station.
Tommy was familiar with "On the Phone with Ti-RoneŽ"
for hip hop, R&B, adult contemporary and urban stations,
but thought the feature was a bit too secular for gospel
radio. However, Tommy did something I will always
be grateful for. He took time to listen to the program
and told me what to do to make it right for gospel radio.
The program continues to get very positive feedback from
our listeners. They especially enjoy the scriptural
references, which are very effective in leading one to a
solution for a tough problem and the visiting ministers
from several Christian denominations.
Gospel
Ti-RoneŽ has been a very rewarding experience for me and I'll continue to ask God to make
this program a blessing for our audience.
To God be the GLORY. |
