A new radio show described by its host as “positive and uplifting” will air Monday, a month after “Live from the Klondyke” was canceled amid controversy over its discourse.

“All About Vicksburg” on WVBG at 1490 AM will feature the Rev. Michael Nation of the Church of the Holy Trinity, Episcopal, three times a week and include community leaders in the public and private sector who will trumpet local events and people.

“It’s going to be a forum for human interest,” Nation said, likening the new show’s format to that hosted a few years ago by former Mississippi first lady Pat Fordice. “It’s real upbeat, real positive.”

“Live from the Klondyke” was quieted by station owner/operator Mark Jones after three years on the air, broadcast from the North Washington Street eatery. Jones said he thought the show’s host, David Day, editorialized too much behind the mic and criticized city government, particularly police response times. Both Jones and city officials have denied contact with the other before the show’s Aug. 23 cancellation.

Nation said the new show will broadcast from the church’s conservatory and feature guests from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Wednesdays will offer an events calendar of sorts, featuring officials with the Vicksburg Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Southern Cultural Heritage Center, and the Friday time slot will be filled by a local sports show hosted by accountant David Boolos, Nation said.

The first week’s guests will include Vicksburg Warren School District superintendent Dr. Elizabeth Swinford, Nation said.

In a letter to The Vicksburg Post, Jones said Nation “will be simply a moderator” and the show will be a voice for anyone to voice his or her opinion. Jones said he didn’t intend to have shows that were “demeaning of any individual” or have hosts that “voiced his own opinion to demean others.”

He said the station would continue, however, to broadcast politically charged shows hosted by Rush Limbaugh and Ed Schultz, saying those shows are “national shows” aired for the benefit of listeners to learn “both sides of the issue.”

Day, who serves on the VCVB and has run the Klondyke since 2005, said his days in radio are over for now. Phone calls and online messages in support of his show continue, Day said.
