Assistant Manager of SVGBC, Richard Macleish, also at the press conference, stated that Total Inspiration has been in the making for the past two years, when his company took the reins of the then Total FM.

“We hope that this new station will complement what already exists in the market and perhaps offers more choices or more opportunities for the myriad of churches that exist here.”

Macleish indicated that the station will initially run automated 24 hours a day, with adjustments expected to be made in the future.(JJ)
