103.9 KKFS-FM The Fish(R) Becomes the Exclusive Sacramento Home of ``The John Tesh Radio Show''.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Beginning Monday, September 11, "The John Tesh Radio Show" will air seven days a week, from 7:00 p.m. - 12 midnight on 103.9 KKFS-FM The Fish(R), it was announced today by Salem Sacramento General Manager Tom Holiday. The 103.9 KKFS-FM edition of "The John Tesh Radio Show," one of the fastest-growing syndicated radio shows in the country heard on more than 220 stations, will have a decidedly local, Sacramento flavor and will feature the station's signature contemporary Christian music.

"We are so pleased to welcome John Tesh to the 103.9 KKFS-FM family," said Holiday. "Based on listener response in other markets, we're confident that the show will resonate with Sacramento Fish listeners," he added. "The people who listen to The Fish(R) are interested in living a life of significance. We share the same mission on our program and I personally look forward to a long and purposeful relationship," said John Tesh. "Our program is packed with enriching advice, informative guidance and encouraging instruction on how to make your life work to its fullest potential. We combine that with The Fish's great play lists -- and you have `The John Tesh Radio Show.'"

"The John Tesh Radio Show" focuses on a concept he calls "Music and Intelligence For Your Life," providing listeners with guidance and timely information they can use everyday. Television host, recording artist, composer and syndicated radio show host -- Tesh has succeeded in many areas of the entertainment industry. In 1996, after 10 years as co-host of "Entertainment Tonight," he surprised many by leaving the highly visible position to pursue a fulltime career in music. John's entrepreneurial side led him to the world of radio and has made him one of the most listened-to voices on the air. The show, for which Tesh won Radio Ink magazine's Reader's Poll for Favorite Syndicated Radio Personality, is owned by The TeshMedia Group. "The John Tesh Radio Show" airs in all dayparts, on multiple formats, and has a weekly listening audience of over eight million people. For more information on the show, go to www.tesh.com.

"I'm at a time in my life when I want my own personal reality show to be aimed at helping others," Tesh said. "Planting seeds and encouraging people with the program and my music is a method with which I am truly comfortable. `Music and Intelligence For Your Life' is a safe haven for family listening. Children, men and women of all ages can gain something from the show."
