Note: Dennis Daily is a lifelong journalist, radio news anchor and programmer. He spent 20-years with UPI (United Press International). During most of his tenure there he worked for the now-defunct UPI Radio Network and, during several of those years, he served as the network's Religion Editor. He previously worked as a national spokesman for the USDA in Washington, DC, was a Congressional Press Secretary, and also a all-news anchor and producer for the radio version of “The Larry King Show.”

Long associated with religious programming, Daily returned to his hometown in southern Indiana for 26 consecutive years to anchor and produce five hours of programming from four churches on Christmas Eve. For several of those years, the broadcast was relayed around the world via Armed Forces Radio.

After his two decades with UPI, he returned to local radio in California's San Joaquin Valley. He now lives in Palm Springs, California, where he is semi-retired, but he continues to do freelance radio work, voicing daily reports on various topics.
