Some catholics do love CCM!

I came across this CCM station in Tampa Bay FL. It's run by the Bishop of the Diocese of St. Petersburg.

Sounds like a typical CCM! I am listening to their online stream. (and enjoying it) So looks like not all Catholic owned Radio is ETWN or so forth

My first radio boss, Tom Derzypolski, was instrumental in getting Spirit 90.5
established, and I have enjoyed listening to the CCM programmming there
while traveling through the Tampa area.

By contrast, a station in our market just switched to EWTN, which I find just
totally boring, with no music In fact, almost every Christian station here is either preachers, talk or has a really poor signal. I actually like K-Love the best but can barely pick it up.

I've started up my internet station again partly out of a lack of formats I like in this market! <P ID="signature">______________

As a big talk radio listener (hence the screen name) and someone who works in radio-content - I prefer separate religious music and religious talk radio stations in a market.

So talk radio fans like myself, don't have to wade through tons of music to get to the talk. The same could probably be said for religious music fans - who probably don't want to wade through tons of talk to get to the music.

I'm Catholic and I really enjoy the Relevant Radio talk radio we have up here (which aires EWTN shows) - it is really stimulating and I listen daily. I don't find it boring - but obviously, I'm a little biased in favor of talk programming.
