debDishman- Deb Dishman attended Trinity Bible College in North Dakota where she began her first radio program experience.  She and friend Greg Long from the group Avalon had a weekly program on the campus station called “The Leave it to Deb & Greg Show”.  Deb began working for KJLT in the early 1990’s upon moving to the North Platte area.   Leaving our employ for several years, God has brought her back!  She is the evening and weekend host on both KJLT FM and KJTF FM.  She enjoys being able to share her heart with you and hopes that she helps you keep your focus on Jesus! 

Linda Logsdon is also the Executive Director of the Women’s Resource Center, a pregnancy help center, in North
Platte. She has a passion to save the unborn and to help families become strong. Here at KJLT, she gets to expand that passion to do what I can to lead the lost to Christ.

Her husband, Dave is the Interim Pastor at the Svea-Dal Church in Brady and Linda serves alongside him, leading worship and where God leads.

They enjoy spending time together, singing, walking, gardening, reading and traveling and they are exceptionally blessed when their journey takes them to visit their Granddaughter Ellison in Illinois.

She grew up in Sycamore, Illinois and attended Judson College in Elgin, where Linda received her bachelor’s in Vocal Performance. From there she attended the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky and received her Masters in Christian Education.

Linda’s life verse is Philippians 4:4, “Rejoice in the Lord always! And again I say rejoice!” And, when driving her car with a good song on the radio… She cranks it up and sings along!


Joe Sukraw

Joe grew up on the family ranch in the Maxwell area and attended college at Mid-America Nazarene University in Olathe, Kansas.

He grew up listening to KJLT. His dad was on the Tri-State Broadcasting Board in the ministry’s early years. Joe and his wife Susan have been blessed with four children; Joshua, Ben (Jaime), Hannah and Nathan and three beautiful grandchildren; Kanaan, Judah and Saylor.

The last four decades of his life were spent in ministry with Youth for Christ and Hope Embraced. He was used by God to reach into the hearts and lives of many young people. After a brief retirement in September of 2024, Joe began work at the station early in the
new year of 2025.

Joe says, “As God writes our story, our hope is to leave a legacy of ministry adventures and impactful testimony of the Power of Jesus Name!
and it’s a blessing for me to be a part of the radio ministry, a ministry that I wholeheartedly believe in.”
