The commission is allowing those stations to preempt educational and informational children’s programming for religious programming without having to reschedule it, but only over the next three weeks. FCC chair Ajit Pai signaled such preemption for religious services would also be a public service.  READ MORE

I am so very thankful for my buddy Dan Dobson in Windom, Minnesota! Dan just retired from radio after 47 years of dignified service! Dan is the one that helped me get on the radio stations in Minnesota with our ministry program “House of Hope.” Dan gave me the heads up on this news………

I had a report last week from a friend of mine that told me that 17 people had been laid off at her radio station group here in Albuquerque. Thousands of radio folks in America have been hit hard as has many Americans have, like our son Lars who has been laid off.

It is dire days for radio and other media. I have another report that one station in America has signed off the air for now, because of no revenue. In this report from Inside Radio we find financial help for radio and newspapers may be on the way.
