7-8 a.m. The Son Rise Morning Show: new drive time radio
The Son Rise Morning Show is now on during morning drive time from CRI. The program started in 2007 as a local Cincinnati broadcast and recently expanded to a national broadcast with a solidly Catholic approach to both the secular and Christian news. Check it out!

Here’s what Chris Findley reprinted about the show from the Cincinnati Enquirer:
NORWOOD - It has everything you expect from a radio morning show - traffic, weather, news - and a few things you wouldn’t expect - a “saint of the day,” discussions of biblical food, a film review from the Catholic perspective.
It’s the morning show on Sacred Heart Radio (WNOP-AM 740), “The Son Rise Morning Show” with Brian Patrick.
On Monday, the Cincinnati-based program is going national as part of the Eternal Word Television Network radio syndication.
For 30 years, Patrick worked in mainstream radio and television, most recently for Channel 9 WCPO. After talking with Sacred Heart Radio station manager Bill Levitt, he started the show in September 2007.
“I felt like this was what God was calling me to do all along - ministry through media,” said Patrick, known off-air as Paul Smith, 53, of Park Hills. “It has changed my life completely. I spent hours regurgitating bad news.
“Now, I get to do the opposite. That’s how I spend my mornings now, talking about joy, giving people a better way to start the day,” he said.
EWTN became interested in carrying it a year later.
