Sheila Robinson: San Francisco Bay Area’s No. 1 Gospel Show

For the past 30 plus years, the San Francisco Bay Area's #1 Gospel Show has been hosted by Sheila Robinson. Her ability to uplift, encourage and render the best in contemporary and traditional Gospel Music, has made her the #1 Religious Announcer throughout the greater Bay Area.

Sheila Robinson began her career as a religious announcer and Director of Religious Programming in 1977, was the first with the original KSOL at 107.7 FM. She maintained her #1 position even after new ownership by Crescent Communications took KSOL to 98.9 FM. Only when new ownership of KSOL made a format change to Spanish speaking radio, did Ms Robinson, conclude her 19 year career with the station. Since December 1997 she has hosted her gospel program at 98.1 KISS FM where she remained #1 in the San Francisco Bay Area. Ms. Robinson has taken her popular Sunday morning show into syndication. Ms. Robinson is soon to be in a town near you delivering the finest in Gospel Music, words of inspiration and ministering to those that are lost.

She was born Sheila Ford in Long Branch, New Jersey. She grew up in New Jersey, went to college in New York, married, had two sons and moved to California in September of 1976. She began my radio career the next year as a Gospel Music Announcer. Completely unfamiliar with radio broadcasting or announcing, she says she “made her way through every Sunday morning broadcast with fear and trembling for about the first two months on air. Because my listeners were kind and tolerant; and I was determined not to expose my timidity, but mainly because God walked with me through the process of learning an entirely new skill.” She managed to succeed and became the number one Religious Radio Broadcaster.

Ms. Robinson has received numerous awards throughout her many years of broadcasting. Six times, she's received the Bay Area's Best Religious Announcers Award from the Gospel Academy Awards, 5 of which were consecutive. She was also inducted into the Academies Hall Of Fame. She also is a poet and author with books Memoirs of a Broadcaster and Just Poetry, A Classic Collection.

Sheila Robinson was co-founder of the Bay Area Religious Announcers Guild, served as the Guild's first President and was re-elected 2 consecutive terms thereafter. Ms. Robinson is soon to be in a town near you delivering the finest in Gospel Music, words of inspiration and ministering to those that are lost.

Sheila Robinson is currently the senior associate pastor at Bible Way Christian Center in San Jose, California, pastored by my long-time friend Dr. Oscar Dace. Bible Way Christian Center is one of the fastest growing churches in the Bay Area. She sits on the executive board, is director of the ministerial staff, and teaches at the church school of ministry.
