Summer 1981
NOTE: Based on what I remember, I have reason to believe
that Focus on the Family premiered on WLIX sometime in the spring or
summer of 1981. I also believe the
radio program of Pastor Tony D’Onofrio of Dix Hills’ Upper Room Fellowship may
have premiered in the summer of 1981, as did The Light of the City Ministry
with Rev. Peter Demetri.
