Radio Board Members
Bill Erickson - Technical Authority and Board Chair
Bill and Teresa, his wife of over 35 years, raised their kids, Brad & Angie, right here in Muskegon. He totally understands what young people are up against when trying to live a Christian life in a world void of morality and full of pressure from their peer groups. He knows that the promise of eternal life through the salvation offered by Jesus the Messiah has rooted itself in the hearts of his children. That message is repeated in the music of Hey Radio constantly, day after day over the air on 88.9 FM. That message is there for you too, and by the grace of God we'll still be here when your kids need us in the future.
