WE ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT STORIES

One of the greatest pleasures of being a Christian ministry is that we get to hear people’s stories. Nearly everyday we hear new stories and get to know people within our listening area on a personal level. We love being a part of these stories, even if it is a small part.

MORNINGS

WITH SAM DYE

Do you remember the little boy that you used to see running everywhere he went? The little boy who never possessed an “inside voice”, and was constantly spilling his drink at the table? That was me. Thank you for having patience while I developed the ability to control my energy.

I grew up in a small village in Ohio called Iberia. It was a “village” because our two stop signs, gas station, and post office weren’t quite enough to bring us up to “town” status. Our family was made up of my dad Jeff, mom Robin, sister Emily, myself and a various assortment of pets throughout the years. We always lived within a short walk, or drive, of all of my extended family, and I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.

It was in my early childhood that my Mawmaw explained to me what Christ had done in her life. She was the one person in this world that I admired most. I wanted to be like her, and wanted to experience the grace that she beautifully described. One morning, in her dining room, she lead me in a prayer to accept the gift of salvation. She went to be with the Lord in 2006, but her legacy continues on in the impact she made for the kingdom.

After roughly 20 years I went to Mount Vernon Nazarene University where I received a Bachelors of Radio and Video Broadcasting. But the degree was only the second best thing I received in college. After three years of friendship, I finally got up the nerve to ask out the most beautiful girl on campus, Stephanie. Three month’s later we were engaged, and three months after that we were married. Spending my life with her is such a joy. Together we have three sons, Jeffrey, Rocky and Benjamin.

After college I worked at Dr. James Dobson’s Family Talk for a year. It was an amazing learning experience. While I was there I couldn’t help but to catch Dr. Dobson’s passion for the family and for children. I hope that every day I can become a better leader, husband, and father. With that comes a passion for the sanctity of life which has been instilled in me from childhood.

Most of my free time is spent playing with my sons, or watching a favorite tv show with my wife. I also love playing basketball, building legos and watching one of my favorite sports teams. (Go Browns, Cavs, Indians, Ohio State Buckeyes, and yes… Penn State).

BETZ

I was raised in a family of 4 boys, in the town of Wall, PA, familiar to some for being the home of Cornerstone TV. My family attended a Byzantine Catholic Church, where we learned to honor and respect God, but no mention of having a personal faith in the Lord Jesus.

I was faithful in my church attendance up until my college years at Penn State.

My first encounters in Central PA were on the long 3-hour drives with my dad as we would take my brother George to his residence hall during his time at Penn State. I also attended there, and graduated from Penn State in 1979. During my time at the University Park campus I lived in the Nittany Barracks, a group of buildings that had been used by the military going back to the days of World War II. These residence halls would only be considered cool by a college student. The buildings were replaced a number of years ago, so I can’t enjoy them again when I take an occasional nostalgic walk on the campus.

I got into broadcasting back in 1981, after getting some basic training in this field via the famous Columbia School of Broadcasting. My first job in radio was in a very small station in Sutton, West Virginia, WSGB. This station had a format of country in the morning, adult/contemporary in the midday, and hard rock in the evening. We also had a feature entitled Deepest Sympathies, which had the announcers reading the local obituaries.

Over the next 5 years I worked at a couple of other stations. Then in 1986 I moved to State College to work at a station that was just starting up, WZWW. While at this station I became familiar with WTLR and a number of people who were involved with it. Also during this time back in 1988, after visiting a local church a couple from the church paid me a visit, and presented the Gospel via the Evangelism Explosion method, and I came to know Jesus as my Lord and Savior.

I came to work at WLTR in September of 1989. For over 25 years I have done about every aspect of radio: DJ announcing, news, and various types of production. I’ve gone from records and reel to reels, to uploading and downloading audio files on the computer. I thank the Lord for allowing me to be a part of this ministry for so many years. I’ve truly been blessed through this ministry.
