[IRCA] KLOV FM network

[Rick Dau <drummer1965usa@xxxxxxxxx>]

The same way that non-comm public radio stations do, Bill -- pledge drives.  In 
K-Love's case, it's 3 a year --- one in the spring (10 days), one in the fall 
(10 days), and one usually on New Year's Eve Day.  And in recent years, it's 
been like clockwork -- about a week after the end of each pledge drive (which 
almost always falls far short of goal, under 40% or so), K-Love's president will 
emerge from his burrow with an announcement that they've had to make what they 
refer to as "drastic decisions" regarding their budget.  


Content has something to do with it.  IMHO, if I'm going to listen to Christian 
radio, I'd much rather listen to something local that actually has variety to 
its playlist (i.e., one that will, from time to time, dig out the obscure, the 
long-forgotten, and play those, like a good station of any format would) instead 
of something syndicated that rarely plays anything more than 5 years old and 
sounds too much like a bad Top 40 station.

Thanks for the update. That's quite a netwoek of stations. I wonder how they 
operate if they are non - commercial and don't do any advertising. I haven't 
heard any ads. It's just a continuous string of songs. Bill in BC
