It's the Pledge of Allegiance Kid-of-the-Day!  Now parents, you can send in a video of your child doing to the pledge to our New Country Z100 Facebook page!  Please include their name, town, and where they go to school!  We'll use the audio from your video message to share your kid's pledge with everyone listening!

Today, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 6th, our pledge comes to us from 8-year-old Olivia Snow from Carterville!

I had an opportunity to talk with Pastor Melissa McKinnies from Southern Illinois Worship Center on today's #KiTC Morning Show about something GOOD!  In my never-ending search to "Broadcast the Good", I'm always looking for cool things happening in the community!  This year, Easter is lookin' a little different.  No Easter Egg hunts with the kiddos. (Bummer) So, the folks at Southern Illinois Worship Center teamed up with Senator Dale Fowler and the Fowler-Bonan Foundation with local businesses to create an Easter "Goodie-Bag" with a coloring book, new crayons, free ice cream, and more!  These bags were distributed to the Harrisburg, Carterville, and Cairo school districts earlier this week.  There will also be a pick-up location at Southside Lumber in Herrin starting today through Saturday while supplies last.  (Only go out on an essential run) And, don't miss our Rise Above It Community Easter Service on the radio, and online, this Easter Sunday morning at 7AM!

It's time for Thrillville Countdown Saturday! (12-20-25)

I had a chance to talk with Shad Zimbro and "Angry Tony" on today's Kent in the Country about all of the great events going on tomorrow at the re-imagined Marion Mall!  AND, don't forget to pick up your gift certificates for the Family Entertainment Center, and your Christmas Collection donuts at Krispy Kreme!  YEAH!  Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
