Scott wilder radio program
I have missed my afternoons with your radio show, greatly. I could not believe they took you off. Your show was the best. God bless. I want to know what station you will be broadcasting. Really miss your show on The Word. God Bless You. I hope you are soon on DFW station I can hear.
It was such a good laugh at the end of a day. Scott we have greatly missed you and Lauren!! I just stumbled on this site after searching you on Google. Anxious to hear and excited to hear your voice again! You are commenting using your WordPress. You are commenting using your Google account. You are commenting using your Twitter account.

I refuse to believe that this decision will produce anything but regret for this station, but more than that, I refuse to believe that you will be off the air for long at all.
There are so many venues out there for your show. You are a strong voice of reason and you provide a great service to those of us who need to be educated on the daily issues that impact our lives. I thank you so much for all that I have learned from you and Lauren over the past few years. This change is but a stepping stone to something far greater and by the authority of God, I claim it and you must claim it too! I will be watching Facebook and Twitter to make sure I am aware of what your new accomplishments will be!
I pray God pours His blessings on both your families and strengthens you for what is yet to come! Scott and Lauren….
I was shocked to turn on the radio this afternoon and not find you there. After getting the news later today that you would no longer be on KWRD, I, like many of the others who have posted here, sent an e-mail expressing my opinion to John. I will continue to keep updated and look forward to hearing you and Lauren on the air again soon.
So sad for The Word that they did not realize how this will impact their listening audience. I will no longer listen to this station at all. My husband was laid off last year and was out of work for over a month. During that time, the Lord continued to provide in sometimes VERY surprising ways — — — and bottom line, we came out financially a few dollars more than what we would have had when he was on his job.
Then, last month, he was laid off AGAIN just short of a year on this job … and so far, the Lord has come through again with finances coming in. Since I moved to Dallas in , I have been a consistent listener and occasional caller of the show. It truly is a beacon of light in the way Scott and Lauren have presented the issues of the day and even moved me to support some of the needs presented. It made me aware of the necessary concerns we should have as believers in our culture today. Scott Wilder has taken many bold stands on the air and incited angry calls, but it always got US..
I pray that many prayers went into this decision. I think we all know that Lauren and Scott will be just fine; time will heal the loss and they have many opportunities! Scott and Lauren you are in our prayers. God will see you through this and hopefully KWRD will realize that they made a huge mistake. The telephone number is and you can reach John Peroyea at extension If the voice mail bank is full over the weekend, do not give up! Call next week and call many times asking what the progress is.
At first, I yelled at the radio, but then you made me think, and I kept coming back, soon every day. I was transformed from a very liberal-minded, not reasoned person, to a committed Christian and conservative by your show.
I believe that we will hear you on the radio again soon, and pray for you and your families in the meantime. I will continue to follow you on Facebook and your website.
God bless you both. Below you will find the email that John Peroyea replied to mine and my response to his suggestion above. Nobody asked you to discuss personnel issues. At least now I have a good point of reference for what you think is relevant and more disturbing, interesting. Thank you for your response. Thank you for the heads up. From: John Peroyea [mailto:John. Peroyea KLTY. Dear Brent, Thank you for your comments. Unfortunately we are not allowed to discuss personnel related matters outside our own company.
I would appreciate you listening to Christian Talk with Janet Mefferd who is currently on afternoons on I believe you will find her program to be very relevant and interesting. I would appreciate you listening with an open mind and giving her a chance.
Blessings, John. John L. Peroyea John. Worth Vice President — General Manager. Brent, that is the exact, same reply that I received from Peroyea. Typical corporate mentality. I wonder how John Peroyea and the station management would feel if we also started to contact the ministries that are on The Word and copied him on the emails to those ministries.
Power Point is a fantastic local ministry and Scott Wilder is on their show as the voice. I wonder how they feel about this. I am sure that I can find another station to tune in to during the ride home now. KWRD has been making incredibly bad programing decisions for the last year or two, but I truly am surprised by this one. That is exactly the same response I recieved when I called and talked to John.
Almost word for word. I thought since I called that maybe I would get an explanation on why this was done. I agree that Janet does not hold my attention. I do not mean to be disrespectful but it was 45 min before I realized what she was talking about. I will not be listening to any ao Salem comm stations. KLTY is a station I quit listening to years ago due to their hypocrisy. They may play Christian music, but the staff and the management running the station are not Christians at all.
I know this will work out for you — the Lord will see you through. Stand firm and have faith! It was bad enough when you took time off or they needed the time to promote something… Thanks for all your hard work. As a former radio guy, I know the work that goes into putting together a quality show.
Praying for you and your families. Scott, I am so sorry. I just sent KWRD an e-mail asking them to reconsider. Blessings, Barbara Miller. Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and whose hope is the Lord.
And whose hope is the Lord, For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters. Which spreads out its roots by the river. And will not fear whhen heart comes; But its leaf will be green, and will not be anxious in the year of drought.
Nor will cease from yielding fruit. I will pray that God keep you and your families in His perfect peace through this time.
I know losing a job is not a pleasant thing to experience- no matter what the reason. You all have a tremendous gifts and I pray that God will allow more opportunities to share them as well as provide for your families. Thank you- to your families- for sharing you all with us. Until we hear you on the air again…. We are honored to call you both our brother and sister in Christ.
You have handled this situation with humility and the grace that only our Heavenly Father can provide. Thank you for the witness of teaching your children the lesson in this, it is inspirational. The Lord bless you both and your families. I am deeply shocked and saddened by this. The Scott Wilder Show is my favorite radio program for so many, many reasons! No other radio program is as thought provoking or such a deep, rich source of relevant information.
I turned the radio on today and you and Lauren were not there. Then I remembered you revealing the secret yesterday and I began to feel nervous. My worst fears were confirmed when I logged on to my facebook acct. Well, I would like to say thank you; thank you for being a voice of reason. Thank you for teaching me so much about our government and history and more importantly for making it relevant to me. Before listening to your show I could have cared less about supreme court nominees and what bills were being passed and so forth.
Most of all thank you for being the first Christian voice in my life in a long time; I have truely grown in my relationship with Him. Scott, God does have great things in store for you. FOX news perhaps? Scott, Someone got it right a couple of years ago when they said your physical voice is one of the best on radio.
You absolutely shine at election time. It is obviously your forte and a passion that has ignited many others to be involved in the political process. There is a clarity and keenness to your monologues in that season that sets you apart from many others whose names are better known. Perhaps it is your good fortune that it seems we are now without a downtime for elections in this country. The picks at 6, and the journals, and all the stuff you are a part of, including just the daily patter between you and Scott was ALWAYS some of the best of the show.
I think you were wrong about John Peroyea. Or if he is, he hides it really well. But he is hearing it anyway. I envy you and Lauren today. Every morning when you wake up for a while anyway , you will know exactly which name of God to call on, which promises you can sink your faith hooks into, what circumstances you can look at and choose rather to believe what God has said and not what your eyes see.
You described them so eloquently, and so many of us feel exactly the same way about them. Thanks for your message. KWRD has been making poor program choices for several months now. This is the worst change so far. I feel very strongly someone will pick you guys up quickly and KWRD may not survive this.
We may need to add them to our prayer list. Who knows, you may be needed to save another radio station. James says to consider it great joy, brothers, whenever you experience various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. As painful as this is I believe you will come out on top. You both are in my prayers. You know Dallas, and Dallas knows you.
You have South Dallas credibility and North Dallas appeal. So I called him yesterday to confirm. He was clearly not happy about the leak. Look at the above thread! Ron Paul does not enjoy a more devoted support base. You have a ready-made grassroots campaign in your listeners. Great idea. I would love to see a debate btwn you and current Pres Obama. You would have him so turned around by pointing out his contradicting his own previous comments and his baseless beliefs, it would be comical.
Boy what a surprise. You will be much missed as a voice of reason and sanity in this crazy insane world. I have listened for years and, as with the others above, have laughed, cryed and sceamed at the radio. Yours was one voice that I felt I could trust as a true representative of christian standards and values. JUst 2 thoughts…. He saw this coming and has plans.
It is not a far streatch to believe that your voice was silenced for bringing light to a darkenss many men dont want illuminated. But take heart….. John the Baptist lost his head. Michael has an interesting idea…maybe politics is the way to go now. Regardless, I will be praying for both of you, Lauren and Scott.
I think the station will regret this decision, but we know that regardless of these current economic times, God will provide. I called to report it once, but there was no improvement. Perhaps if KWRD was not so staticky sp? It gets to the point in that area that you hear every other word, so listening to the show is next to impossible. While I have not always agreed with you you sometimes make my head explode..
I have always appreciated your logical thought processes and ability to concisley summarize large amounts of information. You have actually been able change my mind on a number on anumber of issues.
The Lord will be with you and Lauren. I know the Lord will be watching out for all of you. Scott and Lauren, I am so saddened and shocked. I started listening to your show about 3 years ago. I found your voice to be refreshing. I feel we need your brutal honesty. You helped me so much with insight on the reasons behind the things I said I believe — you put things into words, in a way that my brain just did not formulate.
I appreciate you both and I will be praying for you and your families and God guides you toward your next steps. God will provide. In his grip, Linda. So sorry to here of this. Our prayers are with you and Lauryn and your famlies. I have listened to the complete show each day since I found you over a year ago. I appreciate what you had to say, what I learned from you, and your passion for spreading the Word. Blessing, Roger. I am so very sorry to hear that you will not be on the radio anymore!
I just loved listening to your show. I will miss the Truth that you and Lauren speak daily. Prayers for your families. I am deeply disturbed by your decision to cancel the Scott Wilder Show. The day in which we are living demands that we be informed and on high alert in order to protect our freedoms and the country so many of us love so deeply.
You have, in effect, taken this away. You stand to lose a host of previously loyal listeners due to this very poor programming decision. Laura talk about inappropriate and controversial subject matter , replacing Janet Parshall with Celebrate Women with Deborah Collins huh? No disrespect to Ms. Please reconsider your decision. My wife and I are in shock. I have listened to you both since becoming a believer back around the time you started, have been a weekly advertiser and consistant doner to your on air ministries.
You and Lauren had become a nightly ritual for us. My wife is now a bigger self proclaimed fan than I. We will pray for you and your families.
By the way, I was let go back in January for political, oh sorry. I meant budgetary reasons as well. Oh, did I mention that I was the top salesperson in the region. This show is needed, and is one of the few voices of reason on the radio.
Scott and Lauren you and your families are in our prayers. Thank you for your ministry for all these years, I pray that God has a bigger plan for you and an even larger audience.
In Christ, Rob. WHY all the disdain against the radio station re: Mr. KWRD is, and up until today I believe most of us thought, was a great station working to promote traditional family and Christian values.
Wilder as well as KWRD. And that HE too wants the very best for Mr. Wilder and his family. I truly believe that GOD is preparing Mr. Wilder for what HE has prepared for him. HE is testing his faith so that it can grow deeper and stronger. Removing the dross so that the gold can be refined. Recall, we are in a horrible economic time with NO signs of immediate recovery. We are being attacked from the inside-out, from the President down with some of the most massive and sweeping legislation our country has ever seen re: Abortion, HealthCare Reform, Hate-Crimes, et al.
Satan is alive and well and wants more than anything to conquer us from within. To turn brother against brother and sister against sister. Wilder and all fellow believers and join together for the good of His Kingdom…for His glory. For a house divided amongst itself cannot stand. But if we come together and bind as One, that cohesiveness, that light, like a city on a hill, cannot be hidden.
Shine your light for Jesus. I know Mr. Wilder will be just fine if he simply continues to focus on the holiness and providence of GOD. Thank you Lord for sharing Mr. Wilder with us all these years and for providing for his family through the gifts you alone provided.
Wilder will be successful in whatever endeavor he so chooses as long as he continues to co-pilot the Wilder ship with humility and graciousness and allow GOD to pilot. To GOD be the glory! Sterling is right! I am quite sure the company Scott and Lauren worked for had no other choice but to lay them off. True Christians would never attempt to destroy a Christian radio station by writing to their advertisers because someone got laid off.
We must never forget who is really in charge. God the Father. Let Scott and Lauren heal from their job losses and God will guide them to their next calling. I will still listen to my favorite ministry programs on KWRD and other stations I like, and hope those with dark hearts will do some serious reflecting and praying before trying to harm my favorite ministries and a station I have listened to for so long.
I liked Scott Wilder sometimes and listened to him occasionally, but one person does not give me everything that I need each day from KWRD and other stations. Stop spreading your bitterness and ask the Lord to grant you some peace. You will end up being ashamed of your behavior. Turn your anger towards the station and the owners to prayer for all. If we stand idly by and do nothing, then we gain nothing. If, after many years, my local grocery store opted not to stock my favorite soft drink, I would contact their management team, parent owner, vendors, etc.
If a significant amount of other shoppers did the same thing, management just might change their minds. If on the other hand, I was the only one, managment might not think twice about it.
And that, my friend, is the point…to get management to rethink their position. I sent you an email about an offer to help me find a bank that a California firm is looking to purchase. I realize it sounds kind of strange and maybe a long shot, but you never know.
Please call me or email if you want to hear more about this. They have a p. A little over a year ago I found myself in the same situation. I did not panic, but trusted that this did not take God by surprise and He had a plan. In two weeks I will be opening my own business doing something I like as opposed to what makes the most money. I will make my own schedule and answer only to God. No longer will I have to make excuses for my employers lack of integrity, but can build my own business on the highest integrity — the kind I got from my Father.
Keep your faith and trust that God has a plan and will see you to it if you are patient and wait on His timing. Will keep you in our prayers and look forward to seeing where God takes you from here! The decisions made by KLTY will come back to haunt them. I am so happy that you both serve a God who is in all the details of your lives and will orchestrate a tremendous victory through these circumstances. Scott and Lauren, know that you are loved!
Blessings and Hugs, Toni in Dallas. I just found your post on Facebook. I thought you had just taken the day off. Wow, it is unbelievable. I too have enjoyed your show over the years and learned so much from it, especially how to talk through an issue logically and passionately, but in Christian love. It is sad and disheartening to lose someone of your caliber.
And Lauren was such a joy to listen to also. Her laughter and smile over the air added so much to your show. As so many have said, this is a blow to the airwave family, but especially to yours. I am praying that the Lord will quickly reveal His best for you as you are obedient to His call. It will take me a while to not automatically reach for the God bless you and Lauren.
We hope to hear from you again soon. I have listened to Scott Wilder on my drive home each afternoon since he began in I was off work Friday afternoon and did not hear the show.
I went to the web site today and I am very disappointed to learn today that the Scott Wilder show has been cancelled. I will miss learning about world views from the conservative perspective and will search the dial for something similar on my drive home each day, although none will compare in my opinion.
If this show returns to your station or any other radio station, my radio will be turned in there. I have listened to your show from the beginning and remember both of you from KLTY. Whatever happens, know that God has much bigger plans for both you and your families, as He promises in His word; bigger than you would ever dream or ask for.
Stay the course and hold tightly to Him. He is faithful to keep His promises beyond all else. Scott, Lauren, my prayers and my families prayers go out to you and yours in this difficult time. I know God has something greater planned for both of you. We have lost a valuable tool in our arsenal. They have lost their jobs. And your concern is about when your post shows. How selfish. Shame on you…. Your show was always so informative and motivational. Below is the letter I sent to the station and received the canned email response back ….
If given the chance, I bet Scott and Lauren could raise their own advertising support through the station if the word got out about it. His perspective has always been consistent, true to our faith, intellectually stimulating and challenging, as well as humorous.
He has also helped to raise significant dollars for various ministries along the way. It would be interesting to see if this show could be funded in the same way that NPR and other public radio stations are funded.
My point on this is simple. My family and I will of course be praying for you and your familes. I will NOT recommend this radio station to anyone and will tell everyone I know not to listen. As a fellow Christian, I respect your principled stand on issues and willingness to give callers a hearing.
I am stunned beyond belief. I feel as if a very close friend has died. I have personally supported advertisers simply because I knew they were on your show.
Somehow I felt I could trust them since they supported something so good. You both and both your families are both in my prayers and my families prayers. I look forward to what God has in store for you next, regardless not irregardless of what happens in the next few weeks if you need anything just let us know. This community will be ready to support you. Scott, I am so sorry to hear this.
I know that you know, that God is faithful. Currently I have more close friends that are unemployed than not. HE is our source. Praise Him in tribulation and remember all that He has done.
You and Lauren are in my prayers. I love you two and cannot wait to hear where God will place you next in order to educate us and keep us on the right track! I am completely shocked and saddened that this day has come for KWRD. If there was actually a budget issue pertaining to the Scott Wilder show, I believe that it would have been easy enough to amend simply by stating so and conducting a fundraising effort like so many public radio stations now do around the country.
By taking these two valuable programs off the air, you have lost character and integrity in my view. I am shocked!! You have been a constant voice to help my education regarding faith, politics, and the Christian worldview. God is so much bigger than this and HE will provide for your families. Trust Him!!!! I greatl appreciated the opportunities that I have had to listen, share and learn from you on a daily basis.
You will be in my thoughts and prayers and so very greatly missed. Friday was so great, hearing you fess up to the great fish journaling escape by Lauren and yourself; I laughed hysterically, something sorely needed in my day. As for the budgetary cuts; I will be curious as to how, why, when and where else!
Advertising budgetary vs. Political; the watchdogs need to investigate? I for one am not convinced budgetary. Let us know where you go so we can follow! I am utterly shocked! I like some other shows, but you and Lauren made my hour plus ride home bearable. One of the reasons corporations love Talk Radio, is it is the cheapest format to put on the air, with the highest return of advertiser dollars.
This does not make business sense, unless they are planning to change the format of the station. What amazes me with the canned response, is that Mr. Peroyea, nor Salem Communications does not seem to comprehend listener loyalty. I sent my email about two hours ago and just got a response back. It looks like the canned email has been expanded, probably due to the large number of emails received.
I post it here for all to read. Thank you for your comments. Unfortunately we are not allowed to discuss personnel related matters outside our own company; I am sure you understand that. Most radio companies today have been faced with financial challenges like never in the history of radio broadcasting.
One of the three Christian Talk and Teach stations right here in DFW is now going out of business, selling to a company that is going to program rock music on it. Two separate national radio companies yesterday were taken over by their lenders. We also are doing changes that we do not like doing, but we will survive.
As with any change of personality in a timeslot, there will be differences. Every air talent has their own styles. I am sensitive to your concerns, and simply ask you to consider giving this new host a fair chance to gain your listening.
The feedback on her first show yesterday was plentiful and extremely positive. Our mission is to reduce it to zero. Soon, we will be adding some additional, very well known and highly respected Ministry programs at various times. We are committed to making If you wish to speak with me directly, my personal direct number is listed below, and I would be happy to talk with you anytime.
And John P goes on to say they will be adding well known and highly respected Ministry programs… once again is John P stating that Scott and Lauren were not? And how much do all these new changes cost… it would be interesting to see what all of these changes actually do to the bottom line…. Westwood One. Show Name. Scott Wilder Ratings Graph. Show all stations the program was ever on that we knew about? This is the list of stations we've selected as the best choices.
