Salem Communications Corporation has announced that
following a nationwide search, Frank Sontag has been selected as new afternoon
drive talk host for Los Angeles Christian Teaching and Talk station 99.5
KKLA-FM. "The Frank Sontag Show" airs weekdays from 4:00 - 6:30pm.
Frank succeeds long time host Frank Pastore who passed away
late last year from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident in November
2012.
"We are excited about having Frank Sontag join our
line-up in the critical afternoon drive position," says KKLA Program
Director Chuck Tyler. "Frank is a true veteran of Los Angeles radio having worked at [former
ABC Station] KLOS-FM for 27 years."
Frank worked as news director, disc jockey and was part of
the popular Mark and Brian Program.
During this time Frank also hosted his own talk radio show for 21 years
The Impact Program on KLOS. This top-rated talk show covered a wide variety of
topics including spirituality, philosophy, personal development and current
events.
Frank's life took an abrupt change when he was involved in a
near fatal motorcycle accident. That began a search for truth that ultimately
led to a personal encounter with Jesus Christ. Since his conversion he has been
diligently studying the Scriptures, law, apologetics and public policy and is
currently studying Christian Theology and Apologetics at Biola University
"Frank believes his calling is to share God's love and
truth through media and we believe his coming to KKLA is a perfect fit for the
next season of KKLA's ministry in Southern California ,"
says Terry Fahy, KKLA Vice President and General Manager.
"I am both honored and humbled to be named as the new
afternoon host on 99.5 KKLA Los Angeles," noted Sontag. "This is a
new season for KKLA and for me and it is my hope that together we can make a
difference in our community as we proclaim His love and truth."
