Praise Time with Preacher

Praise Time with Preacher

The word "gospel" is derived for the old Anglo-Saxon word meaning “good message” or “good news." Host Preacher believes gospel music is powerful, whether the listener is or is not Christian — that everyone can enjoy listening to gospel because it is uplifting and inspiring, sung with passion and belief from the artist, touching all who hear it in a good and heartfelt way. The aim of Praise Time is to help listeners find what Preacher believes lives in everyone: a good spirit that drives us to be the best we can be.

Live Tuesday 4-5pm
Replays Sunday 7-8am

Our New Antenna Is Up - Your Feedback From Quick Survey Is Requested

Thu, 10/19/2017 - 12:26am | Diane Crumley

FB_IMG_1507179072684.jpg

News flash  - our new antenna is up and running, and now we ask you to let us know how we are sounding.  This short survey will take less than a minute and will give us valuable information about how well the signal is carrying throughout Davis. 

We are very grateful to all the listeners who helped us last year with our first Listener Survey where about 40% reported fair to poor or variable signal reception.  We expect to see an improvement this time around now that the new and improved antenna has been installed, so please take a moment to let us know. 

Thank you!  Link to https://kdrt.org/fall2017survey

Davisville, Oct. 9, 2017: Equifax might have screwed up, but you can do better

Mon, 10/09/2017 - 6:05pm | Bill Buchanan

cybercrime.jpg

Yahoo, Equifax … the major data breaches just keep on coming. Protecting your identity and information seems hopeless, but you can significantly improve your odds. Today we talk with Dewight Kramer, assistant chief information security officer for UC Davis, for context, practical ideas, the value of telling Congress about the reforms you want to see, and not falling prey to FUD -- fear, uncertainty, doubt.

Moody Slough visits Listening Lyrics Friday, October 6, 2017 at 4:00PM

Moody Slough visits KDRT

Moody Slough (Pronounced Moody Slooooo) is an acoustic-based project of original tunes. Joe Sanders appreciates more and more the sound of an acoustic guitar and a voice, and the simplicity it brings while writing a song. Over the years, music has always been his main focus.  When writting his music he didn't see these songs as the beginnings of a project. “Moody Slough” is just the name that he slapped on that project once I figured out that it could really be a project. Joe's ultimate dream is to one day be able to pay his rent and bills through playing music. 

For those outside the listening area this KDRT is streamed "live" at www.kdrt.org
