KeepTheFaith with Penny Joins KeepTheFaith Media Networks
February 7, 2025 – (Nashville, TN) – KeepTheFaith with Penny, one of the highest-rated syndicated radio shows in the nation, has officially moved to KeepTheFaith Media Networks, effective immediately.
For over a decade, KeepTheFaith with Penny has been a top-rated fixture on Salem Media’s TCM Network, airing on WFSH inAtlanta, KLTY in Dallas, KFSH in Southern California, and dozensof other major market stations. It was one of Salem Media’s most successful syndicated offerings—but when Salem sold its CCM stations to EMF, distribution rights transitioned to KeepTheFaith Media Networks, which has been co-producing the show since its inception 12 years ago.
Now, with KeepTheFaith Media Networks fully at the helm, KeepTheFaith with Penny is expanding beyond its CCM roots and is available for immediate syndication across multiple formats, including Country and Adult Contemporary. At a time when Americans are overwhelmed with negativity, division, and noise, KeepTheFaith cuts through the clutter with something truly different—Contagious Encouragement. It’s a show built on real-life stories, heartfelt listener calls, and uplifting content that connects on a deep, personal level. Stations incorporate their own music playlist.
Penny shared her excitement about this next chapter: “KeepTheFaith is more than just a radio show—it’s a breath of fresh air. People are searching for something positive, something uplifting, something real. Every day, we share stories that inspire, heal, and remind people they’re not alone. I couldn’t be more excited to continue this journey with an incredible team that truly understands the power of storytelling. And I’m especially thrilled to reunite with my longtime program director, Mike Blakemore—we’ve always shared a passion for delivering content that truly matters.”
Veteran radio consultant John Frost who also serves as KeepTheFaith’s executive producer weighed in on the show’s unique appeal: “There’s so much competition for shelf space in listeners’ minds. There’s so much noise out there. KeepTheFaith cuts through that with content that actually makes a difference in people’s lives. Whether it’s on a CCM, Country, or AC station, this show delivers something of real value—stories that move people, moments that lift their spirits, and a sense of community that people crave more than ever.”
Mike Blakemore, former VP of CCM for Salem Media, originally discovered Penny’s unique talent when he hired her to do evenings in Atlanta. From the very beginning, he saw something special in her ability to connect with listeners. “When I first hired Penny for evenings at WFSH in Atlanta, I knew right away that she had an extraordinary ability to make every listener feel like she was speaking directly to them. Her warmth, authenticity, and heart for storytelling are rare qualities in this industry. She has that unique gift of making people feel heard, valued, and encouraged. That’s why her connection with listeners is so strong—and why she’s been such a force in this space for so long.”
David Sams, CEO of KeepTheFaith Media Networks, added: “Penny has a unique ability to connect with listeners in a way that’s truly special. She understands what people need to hear, and she delivers it with authenticity and heart. With our nationwide content team, we’re not just doing another radio show—we’re creating something that inspires, encourages, and brings people together. The demand for KeepTheFaith programming has never been greater, and we’re making sure it reaches as many people as possible.”
