The Ultimate Drive – WIRB 1490AM
Hosted by Kyle St. Andrews and his co-host Sir Travis, The Ultimate Drive broke new ground as the only afternoon drive-time show in the Wiregrass with dual on-air talent. More than just a music program, it was a Christian-based talk and music blend that became the flagship show of Gospel Radio WIRB 1490AM—helping to foster and launch other on-air personalities across the station. The Ultimate Drive aired live M-F at 5pm – 6pm.
What made The Ultimate Drive truly unique was the dynamic tension between its two hosts. Kyle St. Andrews brought a bold, conservative voice and leaned into the edgier side of modern Christian music—pushing the envelope with Christian rock and more contemporary sounds. In contrast, Sir Travis offered a softer, liberal perspective and carried a deep love for the timeless harmonies of classic Southern Gospel.
On paper, the mix seemed unlikely—but on air, it created a strange yet powerful chemistry. The contrast of worldviews and musical tastes sparked thoughtful conversations, unexpected humor, and a one-of-a-kind listening experience that resonated with the Wiregrass community.
The Ultimate Drive wasn’t just a radio show—it was a movement that connected generations of believers through both tradition and innovation, setting a new standard for Christian broadcasting in the region.
