PUTTING THE FEAR OF GOD INTO PUBLIC RADIO

NPR liberals are horrified. Across the country, thousands of radio listeners are tuning out conservative-basher Nina Totenberg and tuning in conservative heroine Phyllis Schlafly.

The growing Christian radio audience is bidding "adieu" to "Morning Edition" and saying "amen" to gospel music. Giving the boot to "Car Talk" and greeting each daybreak with evangelical preachings.

Christian radio is on the rise. And as always, the government-subsidized left is whining about this unexpected competition to its secular media monopoly.

For years, National Public Radio has gotten away with smearing religious groups, as it did when NPR reporter David Kestenbaum falsely suggested that the Traditional Values Coalition, a Christian political action group, was responsible for the anthrax letters sent to Democratic Sens. Tom Daschle and Patrick Leahy. Now, religious groups are fighting back by taking over NPR's turf.

American Family Radio, of Tupelo, Miss., now operates more than 200 stations nationwide - and has applications pending with the FCC for hundreds more noncommercial outlets.

The booming popularity of Christian music has played a major role in Christian radio's growth. Christian and gospel album sales rose 13.5 percent last year, while other music suffered a 3 percent decline, according to Business Week. K-LOVE Radio, which broadcasts popular Christian artists like Jars of Clay, Jaci Velasquez, Point of Grace and Michael W. Smith, owns or operates nearly 60 stations.

These religious upstarts are knocking off NPR stations from the airwaves left and right (or left and left). The New York Times, noting what it views as an alarming trend, singled out Lake Charles, La., as a community of 95,000 people that now constitutes "the most populous place in the country where 'All Things Considered' cannot be heard." Oh, the horror!

The religious radio revolution is the result of plain old hard work and business acumen. Unlike NPR and its nearly 300 affiliates across the country, grown fat and lazy while feasting on taxpayer handouts, Christian entrepreneurs have been raising private capital to purchase "full-power" stations on the low end of the FM dial, reserved for non-commercial broadcasting.

This is one of the most important tools our LORD is using today in this world to call HIS children's out.

Thru the airwaves! You can reach about 38,413,000 to 60,413,000 people

If some one have a better number I like to now how many we really can reach thru one station alone or in general.
