It is not right for a city this big not to have a gospel station. A sad day for columbus.pray

I can`t believe, you would let the devil steal the joy of the city. We all need to pray and hope GOD have mercy on us

Maybe our local churches can take donations/collections to get this station or one similar back up and running.

I was just listening to mycolumbus joy this moring. thank God I got too hearit this morn.

This is so sad I love this station and Columbus needs it … I am so confused right now…People of God we need to pray…!!!!

what kinda Christians let Joy 106 out of there hands?

yo man that’s not right Joy 106.3 is Gone !!! We have no Black Gospel Radio stations nowhere in
Columbus Ohio. We need to be in Prayer to get it back. Man I’m Bumed Out over this.

This is crazy. No GOSPEL in Columbus. We should boycott the radio station. All Joy listeners should no long listen and our support Radio One stations or events. No GOSPEL in Columbus. WOW!!!!

I agree with the other listeners this is a sad, sad day. I keep my radio on this station 24/7 in my room so even when my flesh is asleep, my spirit can still hear the inspiration of this station. I could not believe what I was hearing this morning, even tried to call the station to tell them that there had to be a mistake when I heard Tom Joyner announcement over and over again. First chance I had to stop getting ready for work now to check out the site. I can not believe this. I remember hearing about this happening but never really expected it. Please lets keep trying to pray and write to bring our station back. In JESUS’ name!!!

Is there something we can do?

I am really disappointed that this change was permitted. I agree with of the other comments, this city is too big to not have a gospel station!. I never even heard anything about the station being canceled! It was playing this morning and when I got out of my classes Joy 106.3 was a thing of the past. I really can not believe it and what makes it worse is that I can’t get a sufficient answer as to why this occured. I was simply told that “it was neccesary”! We really need to CRY LOUD & SPARE NOT for our city…. Pray Saints!!!!!

Why? What happened?

Get behind us Satan. You have won nothing here. We may be challenged now, but God is in control. One door has closed, but a bigger and better door has opened. Claim it listeners!

This is a sad day for Columbus. I am very disappointed in this that they didn’t take the opportunity to ask the poeple who faithfully listen to Joy 106. We may could have done something? But there is POWER in Prayer and i speak and in agreement with others that it will be back. Also everyone doesn’t have internet????? Be Bless and PRAY!

This is such a sad day for us all. I can’t believe that our joy has been taken away, the devil is truely working yall.

This is so sad and unbelievable. Was there even an announcement for faithful listeners? I was listening to gospel music in my van this morning and in the afternoon it changed to R&B. Please bring back the gospel music, regardless of who now owns the station. God should not be taken out of everything. We need Jesus!! Gospel music is inspiration for the soul.

i agree that this is sad. The way things were handled is even offensive. Is there any respect for the listeners. Is there any respect even for those who regularly purchase ads or those who broadcast their church services on the station. What about all the gospel artists whose music sales will be affected. Columbus is too big a city to lose its only gospel (air) station. Something must be done.

This was the only station I listened to!!! What the heck? Somebody needs to rethink this!!!

Why would the radio announce that 106.3 will no longer be gospel. i went to school this morning and it was gospel and when zi eft school it was not. UNPROFESSIONAL!

Why is our music gone? What station plays inspirational music on the radio? God help us!!!

Yes its a sad day even though we know that God will still be glorified with or without them. R&B music can not reach the spirit of person like Gospel music can, that’s why it’s called “soul” music. Gospel is so awesome because it can reach both spirit and soul. The powers that own this radio station have to follow the money and helping to feed and strengthen us spiritually is not a big money maker for them. Let’s pray that another gospel station will rise up and pray that while we are waiting that some who have made great progress in their walk will not fall back into listening to music throughout the majority of their day that won’t feed them spiritually. Right now there is a contemporary Christian station 104.9 it has a different flavor than 106.3 but the music can still encourage in Christ. Blessings~

I agree, its a sad sad day. I can’t believe this… But on the other side is that God’s people is uniting right now and understanding that the devil CAN NOT steal our Joy. Our eyes are opening right now and we are agreeing. What the devil meant for evil, BUT GOD will turn it around for his Glory…

I can no longer set the alarm clock to this station. There is no reason for me to listen to 106.3 again unless they start back playing gospel. I kept wondering why the recording about 12 pm today kept being repeated and then they kept playing Micheal Jackson. I returned the radio station so many times. I guess I will have to listen to the Christian Contemporary stations 88.0 am & 89.1 fm.

I want to know what happened. Could we as Christians kept the station going? I am going to miss this station and how it gives me inspiration every morning and every day in my car.

I do not want to listen to magic 106.3. That is not the same music I am use to. I need the gospel music. I do nothave a computer in my car. This music keeps my grandchildren calm while travelling in the car. I there anything we can do to get this station back. I am still in shock and did not see it coming. What can we do???????

What the heck happen to 106.3 Gospel music?????! I don’t want to listen to this crap!!! I need Jesus!!!! Now my husband said he is going back to drinking!!!! This is depressing. How are we going to know what new Gospel songs are out?!

It’s sad and to make matters worse the station they added is HORRIBLE.

give them a inch they take a foot. Allowing the enemy to control our station is horrible, but whats up couldn’t not one Church in the city of Columbus stepped up and helped, or was it not in our control at all. Christian lets stand strong we win this battle. Because the battle is not ours it’s the Lord.

missing the donnie mcclurkin show. Have been listening every saturday since he started back about 2/3 years ago. He was my grove on saturday mornings.

good morning what all do columbus,oh have to do to get back our only all-day-gospel radio station? The reason I’m asking is because a lot of people text & email me about 106.3wjyd gospel station.joy,if you are reading this please respond.you didnt even know how much that gospel station helped a lot of people in columbus,oh so a lot of people will be calling all the news stations & complaining about what happened so please feel email mycolumbusjoy.com & complaining about 98.9 taking our radio station.I understand that the radio station went to a online radio station but you must understand some people needed your radio station to help them make it through there day some elderly folkes dont know how to use the internet.now for me it wouldnt too much bother me I would miss it because I makes a lot of gospel mix c.d.’s.wjyd,I truly feel you shocked a lot of your listeners & everybody dont like r&b & rap but when you gave them a gospel station that’s the best thing wjyd could have done for columbus,oh.wjyd,if you can is it any way you can get our all-day gospel station back to columbus,oh

Slick move, dropping the station before communicating it to the listeners, RadioOne. They knew they would’ve faced a bounty of challenges, if people knew of their plans, beforehand. I’m not even an 24/7 Joy listener, but am still saddened by this.

Sure, the problem is money, which is bigger than our locality. And obviously Cathy Hughes and others felt carrying the burden of a less than popular station (in comparison to 107.5 + 98.9), wasn’t worth the investment. But, sometimes, just sometimes, thinking about the people (especially God’s people) – over revenue, can pay off even greater.

Ok! Body of christ PRAY! let’S Stand in the authority that we have and Declare the decree of the LORD and GET our own station!!!! It will work out for our GOOD!!! So speak the word SAINT’S and let us watch our MIGHTY GOD MOVE!!!

Satan is the prince of the “air” but we have been given the authority, through Christ Jesus, to take dominion and reclaim it for the Kingdom of God. Flesh can’t touch flesh for for true victory. We must declare His word and walk it out with the help of the Holy Spirit. Lord we ask, firstly, that you forgive us for our complacency.”Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done in the earth!!!” We reclaim the air ways in Columbus, Ohio for the cause of Christ and the advancement of God’s Kingdom!!! Order the steps of your people to accomplish this -continue to send laborers into your fields. We know that with man it is impossible, but with God all things are possible. What the enemy meant for evil, God is turining it for our good…. “It may not be good while it’s working, but it is working for our good.” -(Minister, R.A.H.) You, Lord, are the Lord of the Harvest, and we worship you!!!” In the name of Jesus we pray.

If you have traveled to any extent, you know that this city is unique even in comparison to other major metropolitan regions in Ohio. Within the past year 106.3 was ranked top-ten in the country in it’s category. We have been grieved by this transition, but we cannot let this stop our praise. Let us usher in a cloud of glory the likes of which this city (this nation) has not known!!! Victory is ours!!! Amen, saints?

THIS TRULY IS A SAD DAY FOR COLUMBUS. DON’T KNOW WHY IT HAPPENED. BUT I AM REALLY DISPLEASED WITH IT. NOT EVEN A WARNING. THE DEVIL IS A LIE. AND TO THINK I WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT CLEVELAND ONLY HAVING A AM STATION. AT LEAST THEY HAVE THAT

I thank its sad that you can take the only gospel station in Columbus Ohio away, but yet u can keep the r&b station. What about all the gospel station listeners what are we suppose to listen to now? especially me as I drive all day long and the gospel songs minister to me and keep me at peace while I am driving for 8+ hours per day. We all need to pray for another black gospel radio station to return to the Columbus Ohio region.

WHAT HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!! That is my favorite Radio station. Now I have no gospel to hear. Where is the respect for people who enjoy positive music.

I am really upset that the station is gone. Cant we get Michael Colman or someone on this? Why is 107.5 allowed to stay and 106.3 is cancelled. Makes no since to me..they should find a way to go ham radio for free..I will stay tuned to see what i can do to get it back…Please let me know what i can do …seriously

“When the eagles are silent, the parrots begin to jabber.” – Winston Churchill. Certainly the gospel message has not been completely quelled, but if it could happen in this instance we can conclude that the advosary is just looking for opportunity “…the enemy is as a roaring lion, going to and fro in the earth seeking whom he may devour.” It’s a horrible notion to consider that there be NO radio stations carrying the gospel message. The Bible has warned us of this. We’re still here saints… I don’t believe the rapture has occured… we still have a world to win for Christ. Consider: “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” -Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Someone once said that the only way for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing… Again, Lord, we pray that you will send forth laborers in your fields and that your Kingdom would prevail.

WE BLACKS WERE SOLD OUT BY RADIO ONE.WE SHOULD BOYCOTT ALL OF RADIO ONE ADVERTIESERS.RADIO ONE YOU SLAP EVERY ONE OF US BLACKS IN THE FACE.

I got in my car and thought I was ‘zoning’. The station stays locked on 106.3 and I thought perhaps I had moved it by mistake. Then I began to think maybe I wrong and it wasn’t 106.3 afterall!!! Totally loosing it. Why was there no prior notice for listeners? Are all these stations owned by TV ONE? Was it the proposed senate bill regarding paying artists that caused this?? We DESERVE to know what happened. I have lived some major cities in this country and ALL have at MINIMUM one gosple radio station. You are simply not going to get the following you had via the internet. This is SICK AND SAD!

I was so suprise of what happen, will there be any gospel music on 106.3 ?, this was one of the only station that kept sinner together, when they need to hear from God. the person that is responsiable for this a lot of people’s blood is going to be on their hand. A concern person.

What in the world happend to our GOSPEL station? There was no notice, no warning, nothing! All of a sudden, it was gone. How unprofessional! This is EXACTLY why people don’t want to do business with “us.” This unorganized, incompetent way of handling things, speaks to why we can’t ever get ahead as a people and a community. I refuse to listen to the replacement crap on 106.3! I want my gospel music. So is it true that CoCo Brother is the ONLY gospel that will be on this station? I don’t feel like hearing him say his name 500 times a night and talking through every song … I want my Joy 106.3 so I can hear the word of GOD throughout the day!!!!

I am truly disappointed that our Gospel Station was taken off the air. I’ve heard rumors that it was taken off the air to save 40 jobs. Well if this was a financial problem we should have been told. Joy 106.3 should have done a radio-a-thon told the listeners how much money was needed to save our radio and started taken donations. Every pastor at every church could have informed their congregation and took up an offering for the station. Did anyone seek God for some type of strategy? This truly unbelievable and very disappointing! All I have left to say is WOW!!!!

I am so sad and don’t understand why we let the people higher up to control us as people within the community. We need to voice our concern by calling in to the station. First you took the Jazz from us now the GOSPEL station be serious. The way things are going in the world today we need to hear a word in song. I agree this was not done in a professional way. So I pray to our heavenly father that this to will pass and he will forgive those who control this station and give it back.

I was so disappointed to hear what happened to 106.3. This station has been a blessing to the listeners, not everyone wants to hear defamation of our women, children and fathers in the songs played on your other stations. It is about time that as Christians we stand up and buy our own radio staion and play music and hear words that will uplift and change peoples lives. There is a such thing as affecting people and their destiny when you take away a lifeline. We need to pray and seek God for a strategy on this one, because what the devil meant for evil, God WILL turn it around for our Good!

WHY????? this station is all some had to look forward to for worship and hearing a word from God if they couldn’t make it out to a church. Bishop Mel, Pastor Reeves, Rhema and our very own God’s girl Dawn we will miss you all. WE will be praying that the eyes of the true saints of God will be open and to see that this city is in need of help the kind that can only come from God. God Bless you all

I am so disappointed at this “move/decision”. I listened to the station alot while at work on the radio. At work, the usage of the internet is prohibited for personal use and is tracked/ monitered, as so many companies do. So now I am not able to listen to you during the day, when I need uplifting the most. You’ve now lost many listeners for that same reason………..you should have considered that thought. I can see the “writing on the wall”. Biblical scripture is continually being fulfilled, Christianity and related things ( radio, plays, music, movies, etc) are being eliminated.Are [our] suffering and crusifictions next? Don’t allow Radio-One to be a part of it, because if you, “Radio-On”e don’t stand for something (religious rights & freedom), you’ll fall for anything………………you may say to yourself that this is just music, but I say, it’s just the beginning………I urge you to be a leader and not a follower in todays movements to eliminate Christian TV and radio……………..take a listen to a song made popular by the “Winans” some years ago called “Bring Back the Days of Yea and Nay”………………………….listen to the words of the song and let them penitrate. To the Executive and Administrative staff of “Radio-One, please remember that everything is not and should not be just about “The Benjamins”. Every action has a reaction…………….your decisions are yours, and the consequences of those decisions are yours too………………the( often times) sad thing about that is, although we may have control over our decisions, we have no control over the consequences that will follow. No matter how minor or major they may be………………………………I’ll be praying for “Radio-One” “,………….. for the prayers of the righteous availeth much………………..”

I find it absolutely ludicrous and farcical as I read that the gospel is “stedfast online.” What a joke. Tell that to the hundreds of elderly and the sick and shut in that are in hospitals and who are in nursing homes. Oh I must have missed it when they, the powers that be that decided to remove Gospel from the airwaves, gave each one of our seasoned citizens a computer with classes so that they could learn how to use the computer and log online. It is way passed time that this great metropolis of central Ohio have its own gospel radio station. I am amazed at some of our cities in the southern states that have had gospel music stations for years and seem to get bigger, better and stronger as they go. What is wrong with Columbus, Ohio?

This is more than sad it is depressing, but on thing is for sure. If we allow this to happen then we allow the adversary to be in control. We all know all things are possible in Jesus name. They can change the station and attempt to stop our praise, but prayer changes things.

Pray without ceasing, rebuke the adversary without fear, Father God has not created us with the spirit of fear. Believe, Trust and have faith in the Lord. If we pray and continue to pray our request will be granted. He loves us and all things work together for the good of those who love the Lord. Praise Him during the down times and when we excel.

God Bless

Amen, Sheri…

106.3 (Radio One Columbus) should be tarred and feathered for the way they removed gospel music/programming from their line up and handled the whole transition. I believe (in the Spirit) they will be.

Since the decision makers of 106.3 showed no loyalty (respect) for us listeners, we are not bound to honor them by continuing to listen to their programming and their sponsors.

Two alternative stations we can listen to which will feed our spirits with the WORD of God are 104.9 and 91.5

104.9 offers mostly music and 91.5 offers good, sound teachings on the WORD.

Radio One Columbus hit us where it hurts (our desire to hear gospel music), so let’s hit them where it hurts (their finances).

I can’t get to see to get the live streaming going.. Will keep trying..But the world around us is going to the dogs…Things that are moral are being taken away while the immoral lives on but their time will come when our Lord comes back and

I heard when this station came on , it was playing mostly music by Kirk and some Mary, Mary and it wasn’t as often as the other stuff they play

And AMEN to your comment…

As a person who has been in Columbus all my life this has happened before with wvko and i knew it would happen again.As a Gospel Musician and Artist,this problem has more to do with Columbus as a whole not embracing Gospel music. Many of our churches don’t have choirs any more and theirs barely any concerts. This is what moves people to become interested in Gospel Music. Any City that has one or more Gospel radio stations also has a strong Church Music Ministry as well as a strong presence of Gospel outside of the Church walls. This is a major reason why we don’t have Gospel Radio.

I hate the fact that the city of Columbus cares so little about God that they can allow the only gospel station to be shut down! God forgive thom for chooseing secular music over praise and worship! 98.9 was supposed to take over 106.3 but they have it now so u can barely hear that. I don’t like rap music and all that bootie poppin mess! But it seems to me they are trying to force us to listen to it. I adamantly refuse!

I, too, wondered what happened to my 106.3. I heard the Yolanda Adams show just fine on Friday morning and by Friday evening they were doing play-backs of the Tom Joiner show. I thought I had the wrong station. Just like Sheri said: We could have had SOME kind of notice. And I can’t listen to Joy106.3 online at work. We can’t pull up radio stations through our work computers.

Joy 106.3 … you took away my joy.

Sheri, I feel you. It showed that they had no regard to the American people who were listening to their station. They probably feel that they’ll have more people listening to the Tom Joyner show but if we the Christian family truly band together, we can let them know who really rule and that would be God’s people. Sick and tired of being treated any kind of way.

I agree with you Sheri! I want Joy 106.3 back on the air! I want to hear it in my car!

I whole heartedly agree, taking Joy off of the airwaves was not a move that I feel should have been made, were they not thinking about the listeners who do not have access to the internet, or the listeners who are not tech savvy maybe they do not have a smart phone, or they don’t work for a company who will allow them to surf the internet to listen to Joy online, while those of us who commute to work and various other destinations who enjoy listening to Joy while traveling to our destinations. There are a lot of different scenarios that were not looked into here; however we still have a voice on facebook there is a page called “Petition for Gospel Radio to return to the airways” let your voice be heard today join other Columbus Ohio residents who are making their voice heard today. God bless you.

AMEN…

Sheri, I am with you. I just went to the website to listen online and Yolanda Adams’ Morning Show is playing. According to the website, she is the only show on this station. I am appalled that they have just shut down and didn’t respect their devoted listeners enough to give some sort of heads up or explanation. We don’t have to worry about “others” treating us any kind of way, our own do it daily!!!!

COLUMBUS!!! WE DON’T HAVE TIME TO WASTE. WE ARE ORGANIZING A COMMUNITY MEETING ON HOW TO ATTRACT A NEW GOSPEL STATION TO COLUMBUS.106.3 IS GONE FOREVER,BUT A STATION WITH COMMUNITY OVERSIGHT AND IMPUT WILL WORK I CAN BE REACHED AT 614 598-1223 OR SCHOOLMAN47@YAHOO.COM.

I agree… I was completely upset when i got in my car on my way to work and my gospel music wasn’t on no more… Listening to Joy in the morning and after work was my prayer and time to sing to God… Thank goodness i downloaded joy on my phone so i just plug it into my fm transmitter… There is enough secular music on the radio we need our Gospel music back!!!

Don’t you all see this is what is supposed to happen. They are trying to take Jesus out of everything. They want us to be distracted. It seemed like they stopped playing gospel after the commercials and songs that really had strong powerful messages for salvation increased.

What happened to the Pastor Of the Month contest ? Will the winner be announced soon ? Did the contest go away just like the on air broadcasting did ?

Are you kidding me?! Since when did R&B become more important than Gospel Music? I am dome with this station!

Timira, I truly understand what you are saying. But, one big thing. Satan didn’t give us our joy and he can’t take it away. I was so down about 106.3 going secular. It was like a dark hole in my spirit. But, after reading the posts, I know that I am not alone. The most powerful weapon we have is prayer. Strong in the Lord.

I’m so furious and at the same time curious on why the show went off the air?

I truly agree we could always fight for ours rights. I mean you hear about people fighting for their rights all of the time

In the past, I would turn on Joy 106.3 as I drove past Springfield, from Dayton heading towards Columbus, to hear the great gospel music from that station.
It was just last week I drove to Columbus for a meeting and I was not pleased to hear the JUNK that was playing. I turned off the radio and played my gospel cd’s.

I am so very confused by these comments. Just Friday Jan.13, 2012. I was at Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis, IN at around 6:45 AM to get an MRI. As you all know and for those who don’t, when you get an MRI they put head phones on you and you get to listen to music while you go through this teadous process. Well that is how I found out about this station. It was playing the ENTIRE TIME I WAS GETTING MY MRI. HE THE GUY ON THE RADIO SAID VERY CLEARLY JOY 106.3. THIS WAS FRIDAY JANUARY 13, 2012. SO I AM CONFUSED AS TO WHAT IS GOING ON. I LISTENED TO IT AT THE HOSPITAL AND JUST 3 DAYS LATER IT’S GONE. HOW IN THE HELL DOES THAT WORK AGAIN???????????????????????????????????????????
