Sports radio has traditionally been built around game analysis, player trades, and spirited debate. While there is certainly a place for that, some of the most interesting new programs are taking sports conversations in a different direction.

One of those programs is Impact Play with Dr. J, now part of the FCB Faith Radio lineup.

Hosted by Dr. Franceska Jones, the program uses sports as a starting point for conversations about leadership, faith, education, entrepreneurship, philanthropy, and community service. Guests include athletes, coaches, educators, nonprofit leaders, and business professionals who share stories designed to encourage listeners both on and off the field.

The show made its debut on FCB Faith Radio over the Independence Day weekend and now airs Saturdays at 8:00 a.m. on WNWV-HD2 (107.3) in Northeast Ohio. It is also available through iHeartRadio, Audacy, the FCB Faith app, and the FCB Podcast Network.

More Than Scores and Statistics

At Web Radio Info, we are always looking for programs that remind us of radio’s unique ability to inform, inspire, and connect people.

Impact Play with Dr. J appears to do exactly that. Rather than concentrating on the latest scores or trade rumors, the program explores the people behind the games and the lessons sports can teach about leadership, teamwork, perseverance, and service.

It is a refreshing reminder that sports broadcasting does not have to end when the final whistle blows.

Why It Caught Our Attention

What makes this program particularly interesting is not simply that it is another sports talk show. It is that it broadens the conversation.

Whether you are a lifelong sports fan or simply enjoy thoughtful interviews, Impact Play with Dr. J offers a different perspective focused on purpose, legacy, and making a positive impact in the community.

As radio continues to evolve, programs like this demonstrate that there is still room for fresh ideas and meaningful storytelling.

Listeners can enjoy Impact Play with Dr. J through several platforms:

  • WNWV-HD2 (107.3) in Northeast Ohio

  • iHeartRadio

  • Audacy

Audio Concierge Preview

We are always excited to discover programs that offer something beyond the expected, and Impact Play with Dr. J certainly fits that description.

We have not had the opportunity to spend time with the program yet, so rather than offering a formal review, we are placing it on our listening list for a future Audio Concierge Review.
