Reason why I asked, is because I just spoken with them, again, on Thursday. I am expecting to hear from them any time now. They are now checking to see if they could help me get a rebroadcast of WLKO 98.9 from the Meridian Mississippi area started on 94.3 FM. If they are able to help, then my hometown will have a wonderful new year, with two more Christian radio stations hitting the airwaves.

Moody is now building their new station at 89.5. The calls for this station will be WRNF. Plans call for them to be on sometime in the new year.

Hope and Pray that my dream will work out for me. If it doesn't, then I will move on and see where the Lord is wanting to use me.

I am amazed that Selma Alabama may soon have three Christian radio stations on the airwaves. We have never had this many before. If God does bless us with two more, that would be awesome and wonderful, for a community that needs them.

For those that have given me advice and has helped me, during these past few years, I want to thank you. Your help and advice has been very helpful.

I will let you know what does happen, with my dream. Stay tuned...

I don't think you'll hear most of these on K-Love. A good number of these are considered inspo artists now.

Not to say that it doesn't happen. But these don't represent their core sound anyway.

I've always thought that mixing in some classic CCM would be good at K-LOVE, but their music is mostly 90's or newer. They could at least do a weekend classic CCM show with Jon Rivers, considering his history in CCM radio. Even Larry Wayne, another one of their announcers, used to host a classic CCM show called Streets of Gold. That used to be on KSUD in Memphis before they changed to K-LOVE. Is that program still on anywhere?

Yes...because their audience, for the most part, is 90's or newer!

...but nobody knows that, making it nothing more than an, "Oh, really? That's nice," to the current K-Love audience. The history of the music or the jocks just doesn't matter to the bulk of the audience that just came into it in the last five or ten years. It really doesn't matter what we know; it's all about what they want!


And, no, I'm not aware that K-Love plays any of the artists listed in the original question.

I'll agree to some extent, not that the audience was born in the 90's, but that they've only been listening to CCM since then. CCM radio has only come into my area (West TN) in the past 5 to 7 years, and the only options were satellite networks like WAY-FM and K-LOVE until last year when the owners of the local Southern Gospel station finally added a group of AC CCM stations. So a big part of the audience knows nothing about CCM before the 90's, even among those of us who should be old enough to have heard at least some CCM from the 70's or 80's.
 
Put it this way...at least in the 70s and 80s you practically couldn't avoid hearing the top 40, so a listener who grew up then knows those songs. On the other hand, CCM is a very specialized format (unless you heard Jesus Rock in the 70s by word of mouth)..and the appeal is limited. Playing old CCM is just like playing any other unfamiliar music.<P ID="signature">______________

That's true. Quite a few have a "dated" sound to them, and again not produced very well. Keith Green, Farrell and Farrell, Allies, Crumbacher,80's Imperials some of Steve Archer's music, have held up pretty good. You can also throw in a few others that actually were considered rock, like Servant & Petra. I'm sure I've left a few out but many need remixing bad. We love the music though! It's great to have some where we can go and listen.

I think another factor that caused some Christians who were teens in the 70's or 80's to not know about CCM from that time was the opposition it faced from churches and the owners of many Christian stations, which caused CCM to only be accepted in larger cities and towns with Christian colleges who accepted it. It wasn't until when satellite networks like WAY-FM and K-LOVE came along in the 90's that areas that had been shut out of CCM from local stations started being able to get it and CCM started to gain acceptance in more churches, even in some who had opposed it in the past. Since 90's and newer CCM is all they've heard it's all they know about.<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by ccmfan on 01/02/06 06:03 PM.</FONT></P>
