Starboard WAS planning on running some catholic contempoary music on the network, I think it was SUPPOSE to start in 2004 or early 2005... but it never did! I think its still something they want to do, but who knows when.
Also you mentioned Calvary Chapel is not all satelite based, most of their translator reboradcast the satelite, but all or most of the full power affiliates are locally ran. For example WJWD/Marshall, whose studios are in Fall River sells some underwriting in the community and has some community volenteers come in to voicetrack programming. The local stations have a lot of choice over what programming to carry and do more recording progrmas off satelite to air at a different time than actually carry satelite live. I used to volenteer there, and its great to see a lot of locally produced programming rather than a station sitting on the bird 24/7.
