Salem Media Group has announced the return of Christian Cultural Center to the lineup of WMCA (570/102.3 The Mission) in New York, with a new weekday program hosted by Pastor Jamaal Bernard. Beginning May 18, the program will air weekdays at 5:30am ET, reaching listeners across the New York Tri-State area.

Christian Cultural Center has a long history with WMCA, dating back to 1992 when it first aired short-form features titled Insights on Daily Christian Living. The ministry expanded to a weekly Sunday evening program in 1994 and launched a weekday broadcast in 1996 that remained on the station for nearly 25 years.

Jamaal Bernard was named Senior Pastor of Christian Cultural Center in 2025, continuing the leadership legacy of his father, Dr. A.R. Bernard. Prior to that role, he served in several leadership positions within the ministry, including Chief of Operations, Director of Public Safety, and founder of the C3 Youth Organization.

"Welcoming Christian Cultural Center back to WMCA truly feels like welcoming back family," said Laura Sheaffer, General Manager of WMCA. "This ministry has had a lasting impact on our listeners and our station for decades, and we are excited to begin this new chapter with Pastor Jamaal Bernard."
