The Good News radio program first aired on news/talk WWVA 1170 AM radio in Wheeling, West Virginia, in March 2003. Beyond Today radio continued in its place in December 2005. Recently, an additional airtime of 11 p.m. Mondays was added to the existing airtime of Fridays at 8:15 p.m. Why add more airtime in a city with a population of just over 31,000? Certainly Wheeling is no major media market, but WWVA radio is a real powerhouse. After sundown, WWVA's 50,000-watt signal reaches listeners in 18 states, including Connecticut, Delaware, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia, and six Canadian provinces, including New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island and Quebec. Our local radio monitor, Art Gabel of the Wheeling congregation, continues doing a fine job of verifying each program. Interestingly, Marty Turkiewicz, who lives in New York and is our radio monitor for WBEN 930 AM in Buffalo, often listens to Beyond Today on WWVA and on 50,000-watt WWL 870 AM radio in New Orleans, Louisiana, which itself reaches into 28 states.
