August 12, 2014 Dear Station Manager: The following pages include program updates and promotional copy for the month of September 2014 for each of the radio broadcasts produced by RBC Ministries.

Sports Spectrum interprets the current sports news by viewing popular issues through the clear lens of Scripture.

1 August 12, 2014 Dear Station Manager: The following pages include program updates and promotional copy for the month of September 2014 for each of the radio broadcasts produced by RBC Ministries. First, a quick behind-the-scenes summary about the ministries heard on your station. There s no shortage of sports news these days, but rarely from a Christ-centered perspective. Sports Spectrum interprets the current sports news by viewing popular issues through the clear lens of Scripture. And the broadcast team is making every effort to stay sharp and improve their delivery. In response to station and listener feedback, Sports Spectrum Daily will devote more attention to subjects that define our Christian walk. Beginning in September, host Steve Lloyd-Jones addresses issues like Am I Coachable: Accepting Constructive Criticism, Confidence vs. Arrogance and more. And a new musical signature will provide the upbeat pace and flair that has made Sports Spectrum Daily a favorite with your listeners. Also effective September 1 st, Sports Spectrum Daily will move to one daily release (rather than two), Monday through Friday. Each program will be available via Amb-OS and FTP no later than 4:00 p.m. ET one day prior to airdate. Two new chaplains, Tom Roy and Marvin Williams, will join Bill Crowder on the Sports Spectrum weekend program. You can hear Marvin s first contribution on the September 6 th broadcast. These new additions to the weekend team will keep the tradition going by presenting thought-provoking dialogue on the convergence of faith and sports. Should questions arise on any of these upcoming changes, please contact Jessica Suggs or Melissa Carlson at info@kempandcompany.cc, or call (818) Recently, Torrey Robinson, Haddon Robinson s son, sat down with Elisa Morgan to give an update on his father s condition. As you likely recall, this past January, Haddon talked about his struggle with Parkinson s Disease to Discover the Word listeners. You re invited to watch the update online and learn how you can continue praying for the Robinson family. You can view the video on the Our Daily Bread You Tube Channel found here: youtube.com/user/ourdailybreadmin/videos. The video is titled Haddon Robinson Update. Thank you for your ongoing partnership in ministry with RBC Ministries! We deeply appreciate your efforts. Sincerely, Jessica Suggs and Melissa Carlson Your Media Services Team
