A. Catholic radio offers programming from a Catholic perspective that isn't
available on the other stations.
A. Catholic radio offers a variety of programs targeted to Catholics and
non-Catholics. The core programming by its nature is Catholic and will attract
a Catholic audience. However, research shows that many of the programs attract
a general audience and become an evangelizing tool.
A. The station will offer programming twenty-four hours a day, seven days a
week.
A. The station will be listener-supported with several programs funded through
underwriting sponsors.
A. First, please pray for us that the Lord will grant us success in the
attainment of
our mission. Also,
please consider supporting us financially (for more details, please
click here). We are in need of volunteer assistance as well; please
click here for more information on how you can get involved.
A. The operators of the station will work in concert with the Church to ensure
all programming is in line with the teachings of the Catholic Church.
A. Local programming will be introduced at a later time as funds become
available. The Catholic Church is worldwide and our teachings are universally
the same. Whether it comes from Alabama, Australia or Indiana, the message will
always be consistent.
A. The range of programming spans all ages. This station is mostly a talk
station although there is programming that includes music such as "Backstage"
and "Kids' Sing Along".
A. There is no program dedicated solely to news. A popular live call-in show,
"The World Over" includes news from the Vatican and national Catholic news for
the week, every Friday evening.
A. Underwriting will play a part in the funding of our station. As a
not-for-profit station we will not be accepting advertising and will rely on
businesses, organizations and individuals in the Catholic community to help
fund and underwrite the messaging of the station. For additional information
please contact Jim Ganley, General Manager at (317) 870-8400 x21 or at
jim@catholicradioindy.org.
A. No. Fund raising will be done by the station and the Inter-Mirifica team.
A. The Archdiocese of Indianapolis and the Diocese of Lafayette-in-Indiana
already have a wide spectrum of ministries that must be supported. This is
especially true in service to the poor and underprivileged. In both dioceses,
financial and human resources are already stretched to the maximum. We have
chosen not to ask either for financial support. In addition, financial support
would require both dioceses to exercise more direct oversight over Catholic
Radio than they are equipped to do at present.
A. There are no immediate plans to expand the coverage in Indiana at this
time.We will look for opportunities to expand our signal in areas that
currently receive spotty coverage.
