Our Team

Radio Announcers:

• 
• Joe Hunter
• Program Director & Cup ‘A Joe Morning Show
•  
•  
• Joe grew up in North Carolina, with Andy Griffith, sweet tea, and bar-b-que. Naturally, he had to make 10 straight free throws before they would let him move to New York. Most people only gave him 6 months, but God had other plans. Joe is a testament of God’s incredible grace; a person who moved here out of purely selfish motives who is being used for His glory on a daily basis. God gave him a love for radio, something that He uses for His glory to impact lives every day.

  Tom’s most profound moment was on February 19th, 1982. After a suicide attempt from depression, he was admitted to New York Psychiatric Hospital in White Plains, NY. It was there in his room he encountered the living person of Jesus Christ. Tom was moved by Christ to repent of his sins and surrender his life to Him. He did and his life has never been the same. It is amazing grace! Continue reading →
