Mrs. Holmes was the first employee hired by Crawford Broadcasting Company in April 1994, as an Account Executive.  In April 1995, she was appointed Station Manager, overseeing daily operations including programming, sales, administration, human resources, production, music, and on air activities.  In addition to managing the station, she has maintained sole responsibility for all sales activity since 2000 and the station continues to grow.  Each new partner is provided a one-on-one personal consultation, with Mrs. Holmes, to develop a custom-designed marketing strategy to help achieve the ministry’s objective.  “We are a results-oriented company and we work as a team to provide each partner the benefits of our expertise and years of experience in marketing ministries in the media,” says Holmes.

Linda R. Galloway joined the KSTL 690 AM family in October 1994.  She started as a part-time board operator and now serves as the Operations Director/Chief Board Operator.  She is responsible for staffing, training, and supervising the station’s board operators.  Her duties include working closely with the station’s engineer and overseeing the maintenance of our newly-installed NEXGEN system, ensuring partners’ programs air properly as contracted.  She is also responsible for the technical operations of the station, as well as general maintenance issues.  She is the voice for KSTL during the afternoons, Monday-Friday from 2:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m.  Linda stands on this commitment to you, “Our team of board operators are committed to ensure that your ministry programs air accurately, appropriately, timely, and with the highest degree of excellence.”

Lisa Smith, affectionately known as our “nocturnal baby” joined KSTL as a part-time board operator in July 2000.  Shortly thereafter, in September 2000, she accepted a position as full-time board operator.  For most of her career with KSTL, she exclusively handled our overnight operations, thus, she was crowned our “nocturnal baby” because she owned the overnight shift, relinquishing it only by mandate in February 2005 when the station converted to NexGen overnight.  In addition to her board operator duties and because she is a talented musician, who loves Gospel music, she assumes responsibility for auditioning all of the music that is presented to KSTL for air play.  She identifies that special music which is spiritually edifying and uplifting to minister to our royal, loyal listeners.

Hernandes is the new kid on the block, who brings a special talent in computer operations, which compliments the station’s new technology.  As full-time board operator, he is responsible for engineering live shows and monitoring the NexGen computer to ensure music and programming airs in conjunction with the program logs.  Hernandes is an asset to KSTL and we look forward to his many contributions to our ability to deliver a quality product at all times.

When you call KSTL AM 690, you will be greeted by one of the most warm-spirited individuals you will ever meet.  The voice and personality of Doris Canady has ignited the hearts of  “millions” over the past six years as she has taken her position to a new level of Christian hospitality.  When you visit the station, in person, you will be greeted in Christian love, not just vocally, but if you allow it, you will get “some love” in Doris’ old-fashioned way of a bear hug.  She sets the atmosphere for the experience that awaits you throughout your partnership, whether long-term or short-term.  “My mission here is to serve our Heavenly Father and to share the love of Christ with my brothers and sisters who desire to partner with this station.”
