We were able to get so great talent for KBHL 95.3 in Lincoln, Nebraska. Scott Campbell came to little ol' Lincoln, Nebraska from a radio station in San Diego, California. Hear how the station transitioned from The Sound of the New Life to NEW LIFE 95 KBHL.
Scot Campbell became KBHL’s Program Director, he spent a lot of time communicating with the listeners. He heard them say they listened for entertainment and information even though they may be alone or in their car or at home they're only a click away from Christian Fellowship.
As the station merged towards a more professional sound Larry King and Scott Campbell dreamed up a promotion to end of the branding of the station from The Sound of the New Life. This was a way to introduce the new jingle package and brand the station as New Life 95. Jerry Logan made this announcement, “Monday October 31st, 1977, in Lincoln 95.3 KBHL will no longer be The Sound of the New Life. But at 6 p.m. the staff and management of 95.3 KBHL invite you to listen at 6 p.m. tonight as ninety-five point three KBHL says farewell.
Jim Hanemaayer did middays on New Life 95. He was just out of college and Larry King gave him his first job. Scott Campbell was there to help develop his radio career. He enjoyed the fact that he was a part of a new and very exciting way the contemporary Christian music scene. He said, “It was in a time of explosive growth and change and we did a lot of things with artist interviews and features and community loved the music.”
Scott Campbell added a lot KBHL. Scott ended his broadcast career when he went home to Bend Oregon. He passed away from a sudden heart attack. He was a terrific radio Pioneer in the format that is in many major markets today call THE FISH.
The dream that started in 1973 for me (Larry King) came to an end in 1979 due to financial pressures. I had to sell KBHL. I must confess I was very disappointed.
Jim said, “Larry King was a man of vision as a Pioneer probably in a financial sense a little bit before it's time for the format because now across the country there are these FISH formats as they are called. They do the same thing in a very big financial way that Larry King tried to do from a Ministry perspective back so many years ago, but Larry was a true Pioneer and contemporary Christian music I don't think would be where it is today if it weren't for guys like Larry King Scott Campbell. I really enjoyed being a part of New Life 95.”
Larry King said, “I've accepted ted the responsibility for having to sell the station but it's as Jim said the vision lives on, so I'd like to close with this from one of the most requested songs written by Andrae Crouch on KBHL. ‘I've had many tears and Sorrows had questions for tomorrow there have been times I didn't know right from wrong but in every situation. Gave a blessed consolation that my Trials come to only make me strong through it all through it all I know that I am kept by His love.”
Be sure to listen to the entire podcast to hear the voices and know that you are Kept by His Love.
