Artist News�continued�Former Gotee Records artist,�B.Reith� has�rebranded himself, to release new music to�fans under his actual name,�Brian Reith�. "I�have been touring and releasing music as�B.Reith for over a decade.

AND,�you get a front row seat to see inside my process of�creating songs (and might I add, even speak into it!).�You’ll gain exclusive access to behind the scenes videos,�songs stories, original demos/voice memos and more."�

Derek Minor� challenges listeners not�to put up�Walls� on the very people�that Jesus willingly served, with his�latest release, featuring Urban Rescue.�

ChristianFM� has promoted weekend air talent�Eric Allen�to its daily syndicated lineup, making his show available�immediately to 24/7 affiliates and via FTP for other�individual stations. Allen, a veteran of K-Love, Air1, and�WONU/Chicago, has been doing weekends at�ChristianFM for the past year while finishing his masters�work in counseling from Huntington University. “While I�was never far from radio the last couple years, as I was�voicetracking and fundraising, the break from full-time�radio was very refreshing and healing for me (I highly�recommend it)," Allen says. "I’ll always aim to do a fun�show, but my work in counseling has been eye-opening�into what really matters to people. The hope is to do a�show that is both fun and truly meaningful for the�listener.”�
