Translators can work but...

I wanted to use those calls to represent my mission with this broadcast. Since someone else is using them, I'll have to fish for some that aren't in use already.

Redeemer does more music than AFR and Moody. Our AFR Station has gone to all talk. Moody does some music but it's on the weekends and early in the morning. Our population is less than 50,000 residents. Most of the youth population is leaving anyway, due to high crime and a lack of jobs.

I understand and respect your feelings but I dont think another Inspo station will help resolve the crime issues, or job issues. A station playing music that speaks for itself is likely to reach those folks more than a AFA or a MBN or preaching station.

Just my two cents.
 
I did try to bring K-Love and/or WAY FM to my hometown but it didn't pan out. Redeemer has been the only one, so far, that has expressed a real interest in helping me get a new radio station started. If things don't ultimately pan out with Redeemer, I may try to fish for K-Love and/or WAY FM again.

Thanks for your wonderful response to my last post. I appreciate it very much.

My question remains ... do you know who Redeemer Radio is? Or is there another Redeemer Radio out there that isn't the Catholic network? (With a LOT of talk and even worse during mass, a lot of silence. It it weird to listen to a station that goes silent during the long pauses within a service.)

Redeemer Broadcasting, perhaps?

Just trying to figure out what you are talking about.

As for music, inspo without the "hard-driving, heavily-syncopated beat" CCM - there could be an audience.

Yeah - at nursing homes.
 
But if you come to my church, you will hear a lot of Brahms and Bach. I would expect to find that on some inspo stations.

Last time I looked, they had not put up a nursing home sign out front. ;D

That's the thing - everybody has their own musical taste. You want to worship that way, fine. I'll be attending the church down the street with contemporary music. As long as the preaching is faithful to the Christian faith, that is.

The rennaisance site reminds me of the same old "anti-beat" anti-CCM stuff that I've heard for 30 years. I thought that type of bigotry against CCM was slowly dying out. It is distressing to see it is alive and well somewhere. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow - but music is not. The same folks that threw the evil organ at First Baptist Houston into the bayou 150 years ago would probably be anti-CCM today. Nobody would say today that organs are evil, they are synonymous with churches. Unless you are Church of Christ or something.

First - no church had contemporary services. Then, the youth departments started them. Then a few years later, they started showing up on odd nights. Then they showed up as early services. Now, demand has put them at the main service, with traditional being relegated to early services in smaller facilities. Soon, in a very few years, traditional will be discontinued at most churches. The gospel is timeless, music is not, tastes are changing - maybe not to your direction. But people get saved, younger, more vibrant, more committed members who donate money are coming in to replace those who wanted the old ways. As church today would be unrecognizable to someone from the 1600's, and church in the 2400's will be unrecognizable to even the most contemporary minded people today. The gospel, however, will survive and flourish.

I want one thing and one thing only. The spread of the gospel to as many people as possible as quickly as possible. When I see wasted resources like people living in an era decades past in their programming, I wish they would get out of the way and turn frequencies over to people on the leading edge of creative Christian ministry so that more people will be saved. AFR, Moody Rennaiance, CC, and the rest of the spiritual dinosaurs have little if any appeal - God has moved mightily - revival is coming among young people in this nation, and they need to either get with God's plan and move along with the times, or get out of the way.
 
I've said my piece before, but I do definitely believe there is a need for a Christian format that will reach younger listeners and be more likely to reach the unchurched. There is room for all formats in Christian radio, but unfortunately too many times the traditional formats have more than enough and the youth oriented formats have little or none. Even if Selma is an "older" city, there still needs to be an effort made to reach younger listeners with a Christian message.

I've said it before, but I'll say it again, don't give up on trying to get CCM radio in Selma.
 
Someone mentioned a Catholic mass on the radio and having lots of silence, or dead air. I'm a Lutheran and our service is actually a mass with Gregorian Chanting, etc, but the Lutheran mass has more music so you don't have the dead air issue. I'm with Goat Rodeo Cowboy, nothing wrong with Brahms and Bach in a worship service. In the "mass format" like in a Lutheran or Catholic church, the jamin' praise music just wouldn't be appropriate. That type of service is a more meditative quiet form of worship. I also do worship at a Charismatic church too, and praise music is just the ticket there.

So I would actually prefer an Insp radio station to mix and play both types of music as both are worshipful. An as with what Goat Rodeo Cowboy said in his post, at our Lutheran Church also, there isn't a nursing home sign or only old people there worshipping. In fact, I was reading just recently that the trend in church music is shifting back to where people seem to be seeking out churches with hymns over praise music so we may have hit a saturation point in that type of music in church where almost everyone is doing it and neglecting the grand ole hymns of the church.
