1/12: Sounds of Faith returns Sunday
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Jim Hutto and James Dickson, who produce Sounds of Faith on Sunday mornings, had lost their 94.9 gig last month when Lite unceremoniously dumped its soft rock format in favor of 94.9/The Bull, a country station.
But there was enough of an outcry from fans of the 34-year-old show that Clear Channel negotiated a new deal with them. The show starts back this Sunday on 94.9. Though Sounds of Faith is cut back to four hours from six (now it’s 6 a.m. to 10 a.m.), it will be mostly the same show as before, a mix of worship music and traditional hymns with a smidge more gospel. “It will be a little more produced, with a few contemporary touches,” said program director Jim Hutto. Clay Hunnicutt, the ooerations manager at Clear Channel, said management decided the church-oriented Sunday morning show was compatible with the new format.
