Connecticut Radio Fellowship operates WIHS 104.9 FM, a live and local, 24/7 Christian radio station.

The station’s traditional broadcast area includes much of Connecticut, portions of western Massachusetts and Long Island, New York. The station also streams its content online, reaching a wider community of listeners across the region and beyond.

Crandall is the owner of Keep In Touch, a marketing communications agency in Vernon. He has been heavily involved in Christian ministry in Connecticut for decades. He currently serves as President of Northeast Christians At Work, Director of Jacob’s Well Christian Coffeehouse, and as a Director of Vision New England, a network of Christian churches across the six-state region.
