Congrats!
You already have content for your 24/7 radio station. Podcasts are an on-demand “PULL" technology. GODCASTING™ is a 24 hour “PUSH" technology – with a continuous flow of audio content.
GODCASTING™ is a “PUSH" format, that you have full control of and can monetize with 24/7 Giving, advertising, and subscriptions. It enables you to grow your brand and reinforce your values everywhere people listen!
Radio reaches over 90% of the American public every week. More than TV or any other medium. Online radio continues to grow year over year. In 2016, streaming became the number one way Americans listen to music.
Plant your seeds today and grow them consistently over time. You'll have a fully developed platform as listening shifts from terrestrial radio (AM/FM) to online.
Excellent! Not everyone who listens to your radio station will engage with your YouTube channel and vice versa. Also, video is a stationary format and like podcasting, it’s on-demand. You can watch TV without the video, but not without the sound and definitely not while you’re driving.
Start modestly, your library of content will grow rapidly every week. We'll help you get started from developing content to enabling your NextGen leadership to train your youth ministry to manage the station. And if you're part of a Network, you can easily fill an entire week of content with the help of your Network of churches.
Reach your congregation GLOBALLY, increase participation and revenue through a cloud based radio platform for LESS than $19/week!
By scaling our platform over many individual churches we're able to minimize costs with a low one-time setup fee and monthly subscriptions.
Drive revenue, extend your ministry's outreach while inspiring youth to learn valuable teamwork, management, multimedia and production skills.
Priceless.
YES! Every Church in your body of Churches should have it's own voice. We can even setup a network that all of your local churches can contribute content to. This makes it easy to grow your content faster while maintaining consistency and core values.
Anything from original music, teaching, preaching, performances, concerts, to public affairs and community service programming. You already have the tools and talent in-house to create incredible, original, royalty free content. Supercharge your ministry’s outreach. Combine the power of your Youth, Media, and Music departments to teach kids valuable management, teamwork, multimedia and production skills. We recommend original programming. Fees are based on your own royalty free original content. Major label music requires royalties paid to ASCAP, BMI, SESAC and SoundExchange in addition to your subscription. All performance royalties are the responsibility of client stations.
Absolutley! Use your platform to share the Word with the elderly, sick, traveling and outreach ministry.
It's as easy as installing a simple, lightweight, cross-platform app on your local computer with the output of your house sound feeding the input of the computer hosting the live feed. Plug in your account credentials and connect to interrupt the playlist and feed LIVE audio over the air. When you finish the LIVE feed, your station resumes automatic playlist mode.
There are multiple ways to generate revenue with your custom radio station.
REMIND PEOPLE TO DONATE: People tithe during services and you probably have a “Donate" button built-in to your website for online and mobile giving — but it's a passive feature — just sitting there, waiting for someone to tap it. Use the power of radio with a call to action gently reminding your listeners to tap the donate button on your website 24 hours a day.
ADVERTISING: Consider how many business owners are in your congregation who would love to advertise to a loyal audience of consumers who share their values. Now, consider how many other people in your local community would love to reach those consumers.
SUBSCRIPTIONS: You can offer subscriptions to your radio station.
DEFINITELY!
You can have separate stations dedicated to Youth, one for Sermons, another for Original Music, and many more!
