RUBY BABY
Ruby kicks off the Renegade Radio broadcast week with the Sunday Drive - a program that features Christian Contemporary music from the 70s and 80s.
Some of the songs on the Sunday Drive were never before heard on radio before Renegade came to life in 1997, because, when they were released, no radio stations played Christian Contemporary music. If you are an “older person” (over 25) you will enjoy the Sunday Drive for sure. You can hear Ruby and Renegade’s suitcase full of CDs and 33s on Sunday morning from 6:00 to 9:00.

GENERAL MANAGER FR. KARRY 
The Boss (aka Fr. Karry Crites) was told by the Newsboys that the reason no one showed up for the Newsboys concert in Reno was because there was no radio station in town that played their music. Hey! no problem … all we need to do is start up a radio station (no one told him at first that radio stations can cost millions of dollars and have constant operating costs).
Nonetheless, Fr. Karry was inspired to start Renegade Radio. In the daytime he is a hospice chaplain and also provides grief support for youth and adults. He is pastor of a church in north Reno called “Little Church in the Valley”.
Some interesting fact about Fr. Crites:
FAVORITE TYPES OF MUSIC: All types but Hard Rock is my favorite.
FAVORITE BANDS/Artists: Stryper, Kirk Franklin
FAVORITE FOODS: BBQ, Seafood, and Greens.
