Charleston, S.C., Oct 24, 2007 / 09:03 am (CNA).- The number of Catholic radio stations is set to double, according to Catholic Radio Association president Stephen Gajdosik.  The Catholic Radio Association has secured broadcasting licenses from the FCC for noncommercial educational FM radio stations across the country.  The association has helped submit over 220 applications for new licenses in areas as far apart as Anchorage, Alaska and Key West, Florida.

“We pulled together dioceses, parishes, Knights of Columbus councils, lay apostolates, donors, lawyers, and engineers in the largest effort ever to acquire radio licenses for the sake of the Church’s work of evangelization,” said Gajdosik. “In our culture of 24/7 media consumption, the Church needs these tools to effectively proclaim the person of Jesus Christ.  We exist to help her do that.”

The Catholic Radio Association offers start-up assistance services for new stations.  There are currently 150 Catholic radio stations in the country.

I live in sparsely populated southern Virginia (2 hours from Richmond, 1 1/2 hours from Raleigh) even more sparsely Catholic (maybe 2 percent) the last place God would want Catholic radio stations, right? Right!
Nearly every tiny town around here has an active Catholic Church. Hmm. My K of C Council in Clarksville, Va. might just see this as a worthy project.

I am so glad to see Catholic Radio growing. I would live to know when you will begin broadcasting in Anchorage, as my daughter lives there. Thanks and God Bless
