 Scott Furrow |
Scott Furrow is named host of "SoCal Live," weekday afternoons from 3-5pm on Religious KKLA-FM/Los Angeles. He'll also be heard on KPRZ (1210 and 106.1) in San Diego from 3-5pm. Born and raised in Southern California, he graduated from UC Riverside, earning a bachelor's degree in history/law and society. Furrow's career includes roles in politics, government and media relations, as well as the corporate marketplace. A pastor for 25 years, Furrow served as Senior Pastor of the First Baptist Church of San Diego for the past 18 years.
KKLA Director of Programming Rodney Miller commented, "Today's announcement comes on the heels of an eight-month nationwide search which included fill-in SoCal LIVE guest hosts Bob Lepine, Pastor Dudley Rutherford, and New Life Live's Steve Arterburn. We are grateful and appreciative to everyone who stepped in and gave so much of their time and talent during this search."
Miller added, "I was extremely impressed with Scott Furrow's decision two years ago to not only serve as Senior Pastor, but also host a daily radio program on sister station KPRZ in San Diego. Scott left his sermon notes at the Church and instead brought in the top news stories discussing them from a spiritual and values perspective. On ‘SoCal Live', Scott will have two hours each weekday to bring hope and encourage our listeners to be salt and light in today's rapidly changing culture."
Salem Media Los Angeles VP/General Manager Terry Fahy said, "Scott combines a quick wit, theological knowledge and wisdom, a strong grasp of the news, and empathy for issues facing our listeners. It's a winning combination for talk radio in Southern California."
Furrow commented, "As a pastor, my passion and my calling has been encouraging people to grow in their faith and to be more Kingdom-minded in everyday life. Hosting the ‘SoCal LIVE' weekday program on 99.5 FM KKLA will enable me to do that on a much larger scale. I can hardly wait!"
