Religion on the Line
Religion on the Line is the name of a number of local talk radio programs, where a variety of clergy members discuss religious and other topics. On WABC in New York, it is hosted by Rabbi Joseph Potasnik and Deacon Kevin McCormack.[1][2][3] On KCMO in Kansas City, it is hosted by Reverend Robert Lee Hill,[4] Chancellor George M. Noonan, and Rabbi Emeritus Michael Zedek,[5] since 1992.[6] In Chicago it aired on WIND (AM).[7]
On KABC in Los Angeles, Lou Cook was one of the original hosts,[8] and Carole Hemingway hosted this show from 1974 to 1982.[9] Starting in 1982, it was hosted by Dennis Prager,[10][11] and had the top ratings when it aired on Sunday nights.[12] Prager hosted for over ten years.[13][14] In 1994–95, Truman Jacques hosted.[15][16] KABC ran the show until 1997,[17] when they ran other programming in its Sunday night time slot.[18] Among other hosts at KABC were Ira Fistell.[19] Hemingway attempted to start a show of the same name at competing station KGIL.[9]
These shows inspired the similar "A Show of Faith" in Houston.[20]
