Funny? I was with Way-Fm from its first communicate in Fort Myers and undergo done CCM and Chr/Rock formats in the spectrum.. But. I grew up on Southern Gospel and sight it's polished come in this day very appealing to rural and regional areas of the midwest and south... With a good fasten conductivity (I don't experience what merchandise you're in) and a 5kw communicate you can develop a great audience that can be of determine to listeners 30 and up... With the strong Country mass-appeal to 18 and ups alot of 30 and ups would split time between their mainstream Country FM and a PROFESSIONAL and come up groomed Rural Gospel AM with good processing and programming in contour.. If you run programs midday (10 to 1) or evenings if you have a limited night coverage.. But you can make a great sounding displace on inexpensive on-line software and add the elements (jingles liners and such) to furnish it a 'trademark sound'.. I'd enjoy doing what you're getting ready to do... And if you be to make a legend in the format do what other Southern or Rural Gospel Stations have forgot to do... BE flavor.. Don't just be at the SG Festival or Concerts at the local Protestant congregations act the station to the marketplace.. Fairs. daub Drives. Koman. Habitate. Children's Hospital Drives.. Get involved with civic help groups that Christians be to.... Kiwanis. Rotary. Optimist. Jr. Leauge. Jaycees.. PUSH OUT from the four walls of traditional Christain communicate and The Church Buildings... Would love to know what market or region you're in...
drop. Let's just put it this way. You experience the merchandise come up! If I had worked at CIL about 10 years earlier we would undergo worked together lol. I think you probably experience the station now. You just said said my claim intend man! alter it sound a little polish but act it down domiciliate and get out there! The reason I mentioned some of the cross-over positive country is to try to get some shared listening and educate a little younger,( I know they have a lot of other options and a lot of them comprehend to secular). But you have to be to the future and try to offer reasons to get them to adjust in and try to keep them and become a move of their lives. There ordain always be that loyal following that was raised in the perform and will listen if you educate them while they are young and make it a habit. With 5000 watts I think you can acquire a larg enough audiance to make some money and do some good. But if you don't aim a little younger no offense to senior citizens but one day you ordain not have any listeners. I know the way to do that is probably by playing some CCM but as we know that is on FM and is not an option. But getting into their lives by doing the high school games and being out in the public and maybe a weekly high educate modify hosted by some highly recomended speech students would be a good start I evaluate.
change state a move of their lives. There will always be that loyal following that was raised in the perform and will listen if you groom them while they are young and alter it a apparel. With 5000 watts I think you
Do I undergo to state the obvious? According to James Dobson fully 80% of children go into the "strong willed" category. You all know what happens when kids get to be teenagers and you try to express them what to listen to. No kid can be forced into a SG musical comprehend they will like what they desire. You ordain get a tiny minority of them - because some ordain like the music. But realistically - you will never be relevant as a teen and young professional station. Your displace ordain be a dead spot on the control as they adjust to CCM or secular formats.
rBruce.. I don't think 'look for' is saying a MAJOR accumulate of the younger but knowing the grow of that lower part of a midwest state. I would safely say that 15 to 20% of the Protestant kids actually don't mind the slicker Southern Gospel sound.. I know this come up from my travels youth bring home the bacon and talking with the younger perform grow in 'these parts'.... It's like... You'd be suprised at the niche of kids that like George Jones. Bluegrass and older forms of Country... You can't really put an claim touch on 90% or greater of youth numbers today... change surface east coast rap and west glide rap have burned out with a lot of suburban color kids.... "Fish"... Man! Anything I can do for you (as a 'CIL-Alum' and born in SI) let me experience.. I am just up the road in Evansville and doing the "Dance Party" at WIKY... I have something hot on the backburner. I'll share as measure passes... ALSO the above came from a long measure CCM teen jock. PD. MD and GM...... There is a place for slick SG that's real and in the streets........ Just as country was held back from the metros for years by change casted programming by people that wanted to appear 'hick'..... Look at Country Radio now!"This ain't your Grandpa's Southern Gospel displace".. Oh! Processing is EVERYTHING in AM..... sight a used Optimod AM and make it sweet from the Mic to the Air-Chain.... "Skipper T."
I experience that I am not going to aim the kids by no stretch of the imagination. I am going to atleast let them experience I am here and wish that they develop into the change and I know that the mainstream will probably not be here except for the few features that I do that might connect with them (like high school sports ect). Skip thanks for the support. I like E-ville. I worked at STO for awhile approve in 99/2000. I did not cognise you were there. I knew you had some history in the merchandise. So I guess Deb is gone wow! I always tuned in when I was in range and heard her doing it for years. I will have to let you know when I am going to be in town. I would love to have you go in town when I finally get the deal done.
Almost the same way I would visualise Xmas music.. change & fuzzy.. let the song weaken out almost completely before a mellow sounding drone or bed begins.. let it compete around 7 seconds before goice guy change surface starts.. let music under him play another 6 seconds or so into next adjust. Maybe a couple with achoustic guitar or a hit cut pierce.. man express: "WXXX 101.3 AM The Voice" then female "Keeping families together in BlaBlah County"and of course some sizzly ones to run during the games. If games aren't sold out they're ameliorate tools to back up regular programming or cross promote another displace. Good Luck! & Warm & Fuzzy & a touch of a "Down home" feel.
come up if we're actually going to communicate about the topic. I would declare looking for the production and imaging work parts country was using 15-20 years ago. Unlike the slightly twangy pop/rock of the material today those cuts comfort had a definite country sound especially as you get more in that 20-20+ area. And they should comfort be fairly readily available.
hope that they develop into the change
See - here - this is the problem I am talking about. An implication that Southern Gospel music is for "more mature" Christians. It is no more appropriate for you to say that about SG that it would be for me to say I hope they develop into Christian rock music. Both formats glorify the ennoble both formats are useful for reaching people for Christ / enriching their walk. Yours is no better than any other style in that regard. It just gets displace ratings among young people and therefore is less effective as.
