KRISTI LEIGH — Last week’s staff blogs got conversations going with WJTL listeners on a variety of subjects–from the lasting impact of Keith Green’s ministry to identifying what food Lisa Landis left in the WJTL fridge when she went on vacation.  Speaking of the WJTL fridge, it’s time to show you this week’s Feedback Giveback prize!  It’s a Natalie Grant “Love Revolution” prize pack, including a pre-release copy of her CD that hits stores on August 24th AND the accompanying magnet, as seen in this picture on the WJTL fridge! The CD features new songs from Natalie including “Greatness Of Our God” (the song we’ve been playing on the radio lately) and also a cover of the Brooke Fraser/Hillsong song “Desert Song!” Leave a comment on any blog at www.WJTL.com this week and you’ll automatically be entered to win!  (And by “this week”, we mean before midnight on Sunday, August 8th.)

KRISTI LEIGH – Sometimes listeners ask me what I do at WJTL when I’m not DJing; and answering that question always reminds me how much I love my job! When I’m not on the radio, I spend time in our production rooms and on my office duties, which include contest planning (one of my favorite tasks)! We love giving our listeners prizes and brainstorming creative new ways to give stuff away! Eddie and I had a conversation recently about the blogs on our new website and the comments we have been receiving on them, which sparked another contest idea: to award a weekly prize just to say “thanks for commenting!” When it came to naming the contest, Eddie was fast and catchy as always: “Feedback Giveback!” We give back prizes for the feedback you give on our blogs!

How can you be eligible for the prizes?

-Keep up with our blogs!

-Leave a comment whenever you want!

-Every Monday, we’ll pick a winner and mail out a prize!
