I guess you could count me among this group. I love the fact that someone is still trying to be "family friendly." But I sometimes feel that they're trying to have it both ways: They want to get the "credit" for being a Christian station, but they don't want any of the so-called "baggage" that many in the industry associate with that. And yet, their very name and logo are synonymous with Christianity. Go figure.
I've had several friends who've worked there, over the years. They've often talked about how the employees are divided into the "churchies" (their term) and everyone else. Maybe I'm paranoid, but I can only imagine the conversations that go on when groups of "non-churchies" get together around the water cooler. My point being...I worry that the station has little or no respect for its Christian audience.
That said, I appreciate your point about attracting a wider audience which, in turn, exposes a greater number of people to The Message. I just wonder if we're all talking about the same "Message."
Just my two cents worth.
