Follow on Google News | Live Prayer Announces Radio Deal With Genesis CommunicationsControversial internet evangelist Pastor Bill Keller, founder of Liveprayer.com, has announced he will host a radio program on Tampa's 50,000-watt WWBA-820, owned by Genesis Communications.
By: WDC Media PR - Krystal Collazo Keller hosted a highly successful nightly TV program on CBS-owned WTOG for Tampa audiences from 2003 until 2007, when CBS executives caved under the weight of the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ intimidation tactics. CAIR targets media personalities who question the legitimacy of the Islamic faith. Keller's program was also the target of pro-homosexual groups, as well as the Church of Scientology and the Mormon Church who Keller refers to as cults. Rather than allow CBS to censor his content, Keller chose to move the Live Prayer TV program exclusively to the internet. Pastor Keller currently has over 2.4 million subscribers to his online Daily Devotional, and believes the move was the best decision he could have made. "The internet is the broadcasting vehicle of the future, and we now have more viewers each night than we ever had on CBS,” says Keller. “Being online has opened up our program to a worldwide audience, rather than merely to people living in Tampa.” Keller is excited about the new radio program. "There are so many hurting people looking for answers and hope,” explains Keller. “The internet is an excellent vehicle to deal not only with the issues of the day from a biblical worldview, but also to minister to the needs of our listeners. Lost in the controversy of our TV program, was the fact that Live Prayer has positively affected millions of lives over the years, and helped people negotiate the difficult times we all face on life's journey." Keller is moving his live TV program to 11 PM to midnight EST in order to facilitate simulcasting the TV program and new radio program. The Live Prayer TV program can be seen exclusively at Liveprayer.com.
