I agree with Suzanne. My favorite radio station in the DFW market is little listener-supported KVRK (89.7 Power FM). No annoying commercials for auto insurance or what's on the tube tonight, etc. Everytime I hear the expression "safe and fun for the whole family" I turn the dial away from KLTY. I prefer music that is more on the cutting edge than "plain vanilla" anyway. Give me Decemberadio's "Dangerous" and you can have Point of Grace or Steven Curtis Chapman!

It is refreshing to hear about Christian radio stations that aren't afraid to work for a living. I get tired of all things Christian attaching themselves to the 'donation' wagon. If a product is good (Christian or otherwise,) it is worth finding business sponsors to cover the cost. Why is there a need to lean on poor listeners to pay for Christian radio? Besides NPR, what other radio format takes donations? Why do Christians always seem to have their hands out for cash? To Christian non-coms I say get jobs and support yourselves! As I recall, Jesus' trade was carpentry not 'listener-supported' anything.

I tink it's funny the way Frank Wright of the NRB was defending Salem. If this is the same Frank Wright that I'm thinking of, out of Dallas, he's is, or was, the head of KLTY, one of the largest stations on the Salem network!!
My other comment is, if the other Salem stations are anything like KLTY, they're filled with commercials for tv shows no christian station should be endorsing, plus you never hear them say they are a christian station...just "safe and fun for the whole family". Are they ashamed to admit they're christian? I'll just stick with my listener supported stations, thank you.
