A Radio station proclaiming “an absolute faithfulness to the Holy Father and
the Bishops in union with him” goes on the airwaves in the Bay Area.
At noon on Monday, Dec. 10, Immaculate Heart Radio began broadcasting in
San Francisco on 1260 AM. Though already broadcasting in several
California cities (including Bakersfield, Stockton, and Sacramento),
Immaculate Heart Radio’s expansion to San Francisco makes it the first
Catholic radio station to cover the dioceses of San Francisco, San Jose, and most of
Monterey and Santa Rosa. [More…]

Charleston, Oct 24, 2007 / 09:03 am (CNA).- The number of Catholic radio stations is set to double, according to Catholic Radio Association president Stephen Gajdosik. The Catholic Radio Association has secured broadcasting licenses from the FCC for noncommercial educational FM radio stations across the country. The association has helped submit over 220 applications for new licenses in areas as far apart as Anchorage, Alaska and Key West, Florida.”We pulled together dioceses, parishes, Knights of Columbus councils, lay apostolates, donors, lawyers, and engineers in the largest effort ever to acquire radio licenses for the sake of the Church�s work of evangelization,” said Gajdosik. “In our culture of 24/7 media consumption, the Church needs these tools to effectively proclaim the person of Jesus Christ. We exist to help her do that.”
The Catholic Radio Association offers start-up assistance services for new stations. There are currently 150 Catholic radio stations in the country.

This is a group for whom I have consulted. They had a major event last night (July 14, 2007) as a kind of “kick-off”. From my conversations with Deacon Mike, all is going well. This is kind of a “proud papa” moment for me.

Michael Learned, deacon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, is working to get the station on the air.

Catholic radio is coming to northwest Ohio. “We are going to be on the air. There’s no question,” said Deacon Michael Learned, one of the board members of Annunciation Radio. The details - the frequency, coverage area, and specific programming, for example - are yet to be determined, hinging largely on how much money the nonprofit organization can raise. Startup costs are estimated at between $750,000 and $1 million, Mr. Learned said. To help raise awareness of the station, as well as to raise funds, Annunciation Radio is taking its mission to the masses tonight with a banquet at Central Park West featuring high-profile Catholic apologist Marcus Grodi. “We don’t expect to raise all the money [tonight], but we can gauge the level of interest out there,” said Mr. Learned, who has been a deacon at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church for 11 years. “A lot of people are leaving the church today because they don’t understand the church. If they understand the church, they could come to love the church and would never leave. Our goal is to bring the church’s teaching to people in a positive way, and then let the Holy Spirit do the work,” Mr. Learned said. Toledo businessman Dino Piccinini is one person whose faith was transformed by Catholic radio. [More…]

Dick Lyles is the new CEO of Relevant Radio. He took this position in October 2005. He recently gave and interview to Tim Drake of the National Catholic Register. One of the questions asked of Mr. Lyles was “Most communities seem to have either EWTN or Relevant Radio. Why isn’t there greater cooperation in Catholic radio?”. Good question, I thought, why isn’t there. The answer he gave is rather lengthy, but there are two parts I want to repeat here. Mr. Lyles responds, in part, to Tim Drakes question in this way:
“The reason there are so many factions [in Catholic radio] is because each network has a different purpose. Our purpose [at Relevant Radio] is to be part of the New Evangelization. We’re not here to provide intensely Catholic programming that’s filled with Catholic jargon that only 5% of the population can understand. Our purpose is to form and evangelize and educate peopole on the faith and current issues.”
Interesting insight. God calls each of us for a specific purpose. In this case Relevant sees its mission to be different than that of EWTN. Does that make Relevant Radio less of a Catholic Network because it is not EWTN? There are those who would like us to think so. This attitude is ridiculous. The only criteria that should exist in judging Catholicity is faithfulness to Christ and His Church. Using this criteria, Relevant passes the test with flying colors. I think there is another approach to viewing Catholic media, but I will need to leave that for another time.
Mr. Lyles also states:
“There are those who think that if I just have Catholic radio, Catholics will listen to it. We believe programming should have the best possible production value and quality. People will listen to it because it’s good”
I want to emphasize that last part again and put it into our own context. A certain number of people will listen to our podcasts because they are Catholic podcasts. But then again, some of these same people would listen to paint dry as long as a Cardinal did the painting. If we are going to gain any kind of strong listenership, if we are going to proclaim Christ to those who most need to hear it, then our podcasts must be GOOD. People will listen, not because we proclaim ourselves to be Catholic, but because our podcasts are good.
