Spirit FM Vs Joy FM
The Spirit FM and the Joy FM are both non-profit, Christian Contemporary radio stations that are broadcasted from the Tampa Bay area. They play everything from the latest hits to the classics, and they can make the long drive home after a hard day’s work something to look forward to. Both stations have the same common goal, to provide great music for the listener, so he or she can have a reliable source of praise and worship. They’re practically identical, so why listen to one over the other? The distinctness of the DJs is the deciding factor; one station’s hosts are much more personal than the other. In the right corner, with the Spirit FM are Abby, Davis, Bill, and Rob; in the left corner, with the Joy FM are Jayar, Dave, Bill, and Carmen. …show more content…
Most people do not enjoy work, so by the time they get in the car, they’re exhausted, grouchy, and can’t take one more ounce of Debbie-downer news. The current events covered are mostly sad stories that don’t directly affect the lives of the listener. The hosts will announce topics such as “the poor and hungry population has gone up two percent in Indonesia” (Awkwardly cuts to music). Hmm, Okay? Granted, these are issues that need attention, but this radio station has just mentioned the issue, that’s it; nothing was said on how to fix these matters. If they won’t provide any possible solutions, why bring up the problem in the first place? Contrary to the Spirit FM, the DJs from the Joy FM talk about any personal struggles that they come across in their daily lives, which they think might relate to the majority of their listeners. The hosts on 91.5 will mention a situation and make an open discussion by opening the phone lines to the listeners. Once they get a caller, the DJs will talk about the situation and how they reacted after considering the circumstances; once they finish, the caller would talk about a similar instance and how he or she handled it. Towards the end of the discussion, they compare to compose the best possible way to handle the predicament once it comes up again. Listening in on a conversation about relevant events in our lives makes a substantial

    They have seen many great talents pass over their airwaves, including such radio hosts as Wally Crouter, John Oakley, Mike Stafford, Jim Hunter, Gordon Sinclair, and Wes McKnight. Wally Crouter remained a strong morning show host for fifty years on the station, and Wes McKnight is best known as their main sportscaster. The station has progressed through a variety of formatting as well. With more and more stations popping up in the Toronto market, it was clear that they needed to establish themselves within a niche. They could no longer cover sports, news, and local events. By the nineties they had become an all news/talk station. Overall, they are fighting for the number one news station with the CBC and 680 News. In order to gain the top spot, they must build their listenership up again, and gain a loyal fan base as they had in the past. Overall, it is still considered and fine radio station and one of the best of its…

    As you enter through the door on the first level of this San Francisco-based Baptist-rooted church, you become overwhelmed by the warm hug and kiss of Sister “What’s-her-name?” as she bold and kindly greets you, “Good morning! God bless you!” Walking up the stairs heading into the Worship Center, Brother and Sister “So and so” affectionately embrace you, just as an aunt or uncle would at a family function. In an instant, you are drawn in by the harmonious singing of the choir over the upbeat sounds of musicians playing the drums, keyboard, guitars, organ and tambourines. As you look around, you may not recognize everybody, but you sense a powerful family-like bondage. Although the love of Christ…

    Our society today hands out participation trophies and ribbons to every member of the team. Whether they actively contributed or not and whether or not the team won or lost. Losing is a fact of life, but that does not mean that it destroys character. On the contrary, it builds character. The same can be said for listening. Placing someone else’s problems before your own is a sign of gentle humility. It is a display of admiration and respect for another human being. You are literally saying to them that they matter. That what they have to say is so important that you are willing to completely disregard everything else in your life, at least temporarily, and listen to…

    The program itself covers a variety of topics including local and world news, interviews, public interest stories, as well as pop culture news. Many news programs seem to have lost the interest of viewers as many find the provided content boring or irrelevant to their lives as earlier stated. Good Morning America has figured out a way to combat this issue and draw in audiences by only offering news updates at the top and bottom of the hour. The remaining in-between time is filled with public interest stories, and interviews that the public finds interesting and relevant. “According to an article published in The Hollywood Reporter, as of 2012 Good Morning America has been the most watched morning news show” (O’Connel, 2015). But the question we must ask is if the news is a construction of stories rather than reality, how informed are the viewers who watch GMA and claim they are informed because they watch the…

    Hate radio is mainly about how corrupt the radio is and the effects it has on listeners. Many of these radio shows are criticizing, looking down on, and even making fun of minority races, minority religions, and even females in general. This gives the public reason to hate these minorities. It angers me that such a large number of people in our country can be influenced by radio. I think it should even be outlawed if they are making discriminatory comments about other races. I understand the first amendment and that there’s supposed to be freedom of speech in our country. I agree that the people speaking on the radio should be allowed to say what they are saying, but not to the entire public. When someone can…

    While the teenaged Tillman knew he wasn’t fit for the life of a pastor, he was not yet able to realize his talent because the only music he was exposed to came from a choir, and failed to ignite any passion. His love for music was not established until he was almost an adult, and his parents surprised the 17 year old with a new house rule. He would be able to listen to secular music so long as it was spiritually themed. Tillman returned from the record store with Slow Train Coming, Bob…

    For my second live concert review I decided to attend a live event that was being held at Miami Dade College Kendall Campus on Thursday October the 25th. It was to be performed by students who are in an active jazz group at the school. The jazz ensemble consisted of three consistent musicians with a different vocal artist for each song. The director of the recital was Dr. Timothy Brent who was also the pianist for the evening. On the bass was a man by the name of the Dale Posey. The final member of the group was Rodolfo Zuniga…
