Great
Plains Christian Radio CEO Don Hughes
wants to make fellow Kansas Christian radio broadcasters aware of
the following.
In the past the Kansas Department of
Revenue has exempted NCE radio stations from state sales
tax. However, just recently the Kansas Department of Revenue has
ruled that this applies only to state funded public broadcasting
stations even though this is not what the law says. I consulted our
attorney and he said according the the way the statute is written we
should be exempt. However the Kansas Department of Revenue has been
revoking this tax exemption. I contacted State Senator Tim
Huelskamp who has now entered an amendment to HB 2641 which would
clarify the issue and halt the actions of the Kansas Department of
Revenue. The provision has passed the Senate, but needs to be
approved by the House and the Governor. This amendment is part of a
fifty-eight page document so hopefully legislators and the governor
will just let it pass. NCE Christian stations in Kansas should
contact their elected representative. (3/25)

Family
Life Network (FLN) is the first radio broadcaster (according to
a press release) in the country to localize its radio programming
with a new IP over satellite delivery system. The network localized
weather reports and sponsor messages and is currently in the process
of localizing newscasts and traffic updates as well. The new system
was installed at all 12 of FLN’s radio towers, and divides the
network’s listenership into seven regions across New York and
Pennsylvania. “As a radio broadcaster covering a large geographical
area, we want to be as effective as possible,” said Rick Snavely,
president of Family Life Network. “This means addressing more
things locally. We now deliver more unique and meaningful
information to the areas we reach, ultimately making better use of
our listeners’ time.” Satellite-delivered content from a central
studio expands Family Life’s programming reach, and saves real
estate costs and operational expenses such as insurance and
utilities, plus other expenses associated with maintaining separate
studios.
“There are
a couple major broadcasters in the country using satellite Internet
for split programming, but we’ve worked with tech providers to
create a system that’s much more affordable, added Snavely.” Similar
to satellite TV, satellite-powered Internet is a relatively new way
to transmit audio data between satellite towers. The system is
known for delivering fast and reliable high-speed Internet to
satellites in isolated areas—a unique selling point for Family Life
Network. But up until now, the technology was never
affordable. Family Life Network can now be heard on 65 outlets.
