New Christian Contemporary for NOLA

R

RFLA

From Taylor On Radio (permission to quote fully given as it's published by radio-info)

Southeast of New Orleans – and you probably didn’t know there was much land down there – EMF pays $10,000 for the currently-silent KMRL, Buras LA at 91.9. It’s licensed as a Class A (3-kw at 164 feet) but has a construction permit to become a C2 - 14.5-kw at 656 feet, in an extremely low-lying area that’s basically Mississippi Delta land. That CP could bring KMRL closer to the population center of New Orleans. EMF is buying the property from Dove Fellowship.

With the new CP built, this station and WNKV will basically one/two punch the southshore with outside mega-broadcaster K-Love going against Longtime New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary Christian station WBSN (Lifesongs 89.1) who has a bunch of translators to help coverage in the Bayou and Northshore regions

Up in Baton Rouge, we saw "the bridge" sell out to k-Love, and there are places that have supported two main Christian Stations, in this market what is your opinion?
 
Klove is already on 91.1 New Orleans. So New Orleans already has 2 ccm stations. But 89.1 is now more Hot AC than AC. So 2 diffrent formats actually. In BR btw we have 2 also. 105.7 plays ccm also. Its an LPFM.
 
Keep 'em in the non-com band, but leave some room for area colleges! Never mind, no one ever build a college in the middle of that swamp.

<steps down off soap box>

Could this possibly effect more than 1000 people's lives? That's going to be a lot of money to broadcast to the delta and adjacent swamp folk. No one could afford this station without the help of god. God himself might not be able to support it. Is there any chance of moving the signal anywhere else at any authorized power level.
 
If upgraded, the signal is supposed to cover the eastern sides of New Orleans, Jefferson including Grand Isle, and Lower Lafourche parish. With 91.1 with a application to increase power and go directional to protect KLSU, the thought is to blanket the 504 with 2 rim shot transmitters

(and serve many of the oil field/professional fishermen also)

I dont really believe any oilmen want to listen to sappy ccm geared for 26 year old women ;D :D
 
You will be surprised as I've met a few who love pop get hooked by the Hot A/C sound and will listen due to it's content that very family rated.

Those oil me work 1 week on/1 week off. And all the do is work. I doubt they listen to the radio for 1 hour a day. But I bet a bunch of them want to listen to the word of god during that hour.
 
CCM has nothing to do with the word of God in 2009 :eek: Its just positive music. You dont even hear the mention of Jesus anymore.
 
Smashed is right. Actually I've found a few people, I know who actually love KLove for the music more than the message (Sound very popish).

And by oil field; remember, that there are many who work in oil field service related who do a lot of driving (such as the truckers, the mechanics etc etc) who don't do a one week on/off schedule who I find will search around the dial for something to listen to and may find KLove. So many people grew up on pop radio and basically KLove as smashed said, has songs with the beat of pop without the burn out most people have already for pop radio (due to over listening compared to say people tuning into KLove or another CCM for the first time).

In fact secular A/C and country radio has been starting to play CCM in normal rotation . Just look at Mercy Me's - "I can only imagine" and Point of Grace is on the chart in country music this week with " I wish".
 
I'd like to see someone pick up the full Chuck and Larry Bates show. WSHO has an hour of them, and it's not enough. Singing praises and Allelulias are fine, (that spelling doesn't look right) but there's a place for Christian views on Social Policy and politics too, and I find their show valuable.
 
Hey, Vince, funny post. But, I don’t think you will be able to work here, though, because you have toupee for your crime!

Of course, maybe Wilkie can work there?
