Heavenly Inspiration For New Orleans

• Cumulus has launched a new Gospel radio station to serve the New Orleans market, flipping 100,000-watt Hot AC KKND (106.7 The Krewe)/Port Sulphur, LA to “Heaven 106.7 FM, New Orleans’ Inspiration Station.”

Heaven 106.7 debuted Friday, Sept. 10 at 6pm ET, under the command of PD J’Michael Francois. Heaven 106.7 currently features The Mike Chandler and Friends morning show and The Willie Moore Jr. Show, with local midday and afternoon talent TBA.

Pat Galloway, RVP/Market Manager, Cumulus New Orleans, said, “I’m extremely excited about this station. In a city that is rebuilding from a natural disaster, we need as much Inspiration as we can get, and Heaven 106.7 delivers in a big way. I also think the station will be very successful in New Orleans, as Inspirational Gospel is loved in our community and should be as popular as it is in neighboring cities, including Memphis, Jackson, and Montgomery, where Gospel is a ratings leader. I couldn’t be happier with our new station and thank everyone for their hard work in bringing Heaven 106.7 to New Orleans.”

Francois commented, “Following the devastation left behind by Hurricane Ida, we are pleased to offer New Orleanians Heaven 106.7, a world-class radio station that reflects the soul, resiliency and culture of Greater New Orleans. As we recover together, what better way to inspire, encourage and excite the Big Easy than with a taste of Heaven?”
