God has
blessed us with a HUGE signal…we cover parts of seven
states! That is a blessing…but, it’s sometimes a
challenge to cover all of the areas well.
2. What is the most fulfilling aspect to you
personally about Christian radio?
I find that
the relationships I have been blessed with is the most
fulfilling part of my job. My relationship with
Christ, first of all…then, my relationship with other
team members and listeners make coming to work every
day a true joy.
3. How do you personally keep the ministry in the
business?
God doesn’t
ever let me go to far without realizing that it’s not
about me…but, all about Him. I am blessed with a
wonderful husband who does a great job keeping me
accountable and helping me see the things that are
really important.
4. What is the criteria that determines if a song
receives airplay on your station?
First of
all, it has to be a vertical song. By that, I mean,
it has to focus on Christ. There are a lot of great
songs out there…but, if a person tunes in and only
hears one song…I want the message to be clear that
there is hope and healing in Jesus.
5. What kind of promotions work best for your station?
Promotions
that aren’t too complex…our listeners are so busy that
they don’t have time to jump through a lot of hoops
for a keychain. We try to make our promotions a part of our listeners
lives. We always try to respect our listeners and be
mindful of their schedule and the things that really
matter to them.
6. How do you think Christian Record labels can better
serve Christian radio?
Wow! We
have been pleased with the service that we receive
from the labels. They do a great job with keeping us
informed with what is coming up!
7. In your opinion what are the biggest obstacles
facing Christian radio today?
I feel like
Christian music is really beginning to make an impact
in secular radio. The opportunities that are available
to artists are amazing. The biggest challenge is
going to be sticking to our guns and not letting the
message get lost in the art.
8. What do you believe is the primary role of the
Christian radio air personality today?
To be a
friend…to talk about things that matter to the
listener…to encourage with out sounding “preachy”
9. What (if any) other Christian radio stations do you
consider as innovators today?
KSBJ, KTIS,
The Fish, WPOZ
10. Where do you see Christian radio in 5 years?
Hopefully,
reaching more people with the Good News of Christ than
ever before!!!
