Catholic Radio

The South Philly/Jersey, surrounding areas have a high concentration of Catholics, so why no full time Catholic format. WISP is a waste anywhere south of Center City. I wonder why no station has picked up on this format, the Catholics are underserved, oh wait!!!, I mean the Hispanics are, hey wait!!!, most Hispanics are Catholic, maybe now we can get a full time Catholic station. My choice would be WURD, replace the Devils with Angels.
 
Mr. OHara,

No offence, but has anyone ever suggested Anger Management Therapy?

Once again the VA has let one of our heroes down….

Sad… :(
 
Speaking as a practicing Catholic, I'm sorry to report that in my opinion, Catholic Radio....at least what I've heard of it....is B-O-R-I-N-G. IMHO, Philly....or any other place that doesn't have it isn't missing much.

If you want your daily fix of the Catholic religion, you could always go to weekeday mass instead! ;D
 
Your best bet for Catholic radio is shortwave. WEWN in Irondale, Alabama is owned by the Eternal Word Television Network and has a 250,000 watt signal on shortwave. Most programs are in English, with some Spanish beamed to Latin America. The English programming parallels the audio on EWTN. Vatican Radio broadcasts a daily block of programs to North America in English...what can be more Catholic than that? Schedules and frequencies for both stations can be found in Monitoring Times magazine or by doing a Google search for each station's Web site.

Yes, most Hispanics are Catholic. But the only Spanish-language religious stations in the region, WWRV in Paterson, NJ and WPHE in Phoenixville, carry evangelical Protestant programming.

Otherwise, you could move to Scranton or Wilkes-Barre. There are two simulcasting AMs up there that carry Catholic programming: WQOR (750 kHz) and WITK (1550 kHz), serving a market that is 92% Catholic.

I like the link they have to their Billboard Campaign.. can you actually hear the station in those locations?
