GRAND RAPIDS, MI – WCSG general manager Chris Lemke urged listeners on Monday, June 23, to pray for former host John Balyo, his family, co-workers and alleged victims after Balyo was accused of paying for sexual encounters with children.
“God’s people will not lose heart,” Lemke told listeners.
He said the criminal allegations, reported late last week, have left staff in grief. Balyo’s morning co-host, Amanda, is taking this week off, but will return next week.
“And, we know you may be hurting as well,” Lemke told listeners.
“Yet, we have hope.”
He said that a listener outpouring of support, in text messages and emails to the station, have buoyed Balyo’s co-workers, who were in disbelief after hearing the allegations.
