WTLN-FM and AM had been simulcasting a Christian variety format since 1968. Two weeks ago, WTLN-AM began broadcasting Southern gospel music full time, becoming the only station in Orlando to do so. "WTLN-FM and WTLN-AM have always been one and they are no more," said Dean O'Neal, new program director at WTLN-FM and AM. "One of the reasons for that change is to utilize the AM facility to reach an audience that is not being served now." Florida has been a breeding ground for such nationally known Southern gospel singers as the Laceys and Florida Boys. In the station's first week on the air with its new format, it hosted an all-day Southern gospel sing at Cypress Gardens, where such groups as the Dixie Melody Boys and the Speers attracted a standing-room only crowd.

"This kind of turnout reveals the huge audience of Southern gospel fans who have been completely ignored," O'Neal said. Other than some additional traffic reports and news updates, WTLN-FM' soft adult contemporary Christian format will remain the same. The stations will continue to simulcast such popular national and local shows as Larry Burkett's Money Matters and Dr. George Cross-ley's Central Florida Forum. One new program at WTLN-AM.

which now calls itself "1520 The Word," is Adventures in Odyssey, a Bible-based half-hour radio theater program for children aged 12 or younger. To accommodate the AM station's new identity, WTLN's on-air hosts have been playing musical chairs. Steve Shenk, former announcer for the FM's midday show, is now hosting the AM morning show. Bill Bloomer, former host of the FM morning shift, is working middays on FM and afternoons on AM. O'Neal, who was the evening disc jockey at WMGF-FM (107.7) a year ago, is hosting the FM morning show.

Oldest religious station takes trilingual route In other news from religious broadcasters, WVCF-AM (1480) has a different sound, but not necessarily a new mission. New owners Juan Nreves and P. Solero of Apopka took control of the financially troubled station Monday and began broadcasting Spanish-language Christian music from noon until the station's evening sign-off. WVCF, Orlando's oldest Christian radio station, will continue to broadcast English-language programming from 6 a.m. to noon and to air roughly eight hours of Haitian programming on weekends.

The station's new owners plan to upgrade the station's signal and work toward taking WVCF 'to a 24-hour broadcast, said general manager Wayne Burdick. 0 0 90 Da vmmmm l-rjalL'-ll 90 Da a 2 a 2 I nov I LOW DIAL BY CATHERINE HINMAN Relive infamous Welles broadcast Wednesday Fifty-three years ago, on the night before Halloween, Orson Welles and his colleagues at CBS Radio Network staged a theatrical event that would become the most famous radio broadcast of all time. Central Florida radio listeners will have a chance to relive the original Mercury Theatre dramatization of The War of the Worlds this week when WMGF-FM 1 107.7) broadcasts it at 8 p.m. Wednesday and WTRR-AM 1400) plays jt at 6 p.m. Thursday.

Welles' updated version of H.G Wells' 1898 science-fiction thriller about invaders from Mars caused panic listeners from New Jersey to Alabama in 1938. These people, who believed the presentation to be a live newscast, had, of course, missed the opening lines explaining the show. What they heard instead was an on-the-scene report of a cylinder of unknown origin hitting Earth "with almost earthquake force" near Graver's Mill, N.J. "Ladies and gentlemen," the reporter said. "This is the most terrifying thing I have ever witnessed wait a minute! Someone's crawling out of the hollow top someone or something.

Tune in for some fun and fantasy. Sound bites WDMX-FM (105.1) has become -the latest Orlando radio station to freshen up its regular programming with an all-request lunchtime show. You Pick the Mix, hosted by Tracey Young, airs from noon to 1 p.m. Targeting older listeners abandoned by WWLV-FM (94.5), WSBB-AM (1230) of New Smyrna recently switched to a music format that includes hits from the '40s, '50s and '60s. "The Memory Station," which can reach as far west as Qviedo, is now playing Fatti Humperdinck and Tom Jones but has at least one staple from its old program schedule Atlanta Braves baseball games.

WMMO-FM (98.9) helped Orlando celebrate the demise of its old, city hall with an implosion party of its own: TWursday night, disc jockeys took a couple of hours to commemorate the event with sufh songs as "Crumblin' Down" by John Cougar Mellencamp, "Sledge Hammer" by Peter Gabriel and "She's Gone," by Hall Oates. The Great Performances public television premiere of ex-Beatle Paul McCartney's "Liverpool Oratorio" willbe simulcast by WMFE-FM (90.7) Wednesday from 8:30 to 10:30 p.m. The two-hour telecast includes introductory reminiscences from McCartney about the creation of the eight-movement work.
