I notice you play commercials and have on-air fundraisers, what is the money used for?
We're really thankful for our business supporters (who you hear on the commercials) as they help with all of the everyday expense of running a radio station (mortgage, lights, etc.!) Sharathon (our on-air fundraiser) is used for "growth and promotion" of the radio ministry -- basically your donations are used to reach more families with the love of Christ through Spirit 92.9. We do this through billboards and bus wraps, local parades, community events and school visits. As a result, since we began doing Sharathons in 2004, our audience size has nearly tripled, we're able to bring in national concert events to St. Cloud and we're more active in the community than ever! Thank you!!
I love your station...but I lose your signal as I get close to the cities...can you make it go further?
Unfortunately, our tower is as tall and our signal is as strong as the FCC will allow, so we can't perform any upgrades to reach more of Minnesota and beyond. What we can do is prayerfully consider expanding through translators (additional signals) and hopes to do so by 2010.
What was that song?
If you ever hear a song, but don't catch the name or artist, you can easily look it up on our playlist (a link on the upper toolbar). There's also a form there where you can ask for help if you don't see it! Or, if you're in your car, you can always call our office at 251-1780 during business hours!
How do you choose the music?
At Spirit 92.9 we're doing our best to play the right mix of music for your family -- including old favorites and the fresh new ones. We take each new release (the record labels work to determine which songs to put out from each new CD and in what order) into serious consideration and evaluate its message, tone and quality. We do our best to choose music that will be positive and uplifting for your family! And, we're always GRATEFUL for your feedback, which you can give here!
We have an event coming up; will you help us spread the word?
We'd be happy to! When you submit your event it'll be included on our online event calendar. Select events will also be featured on the on-air Family Event Calendar for further promotion. The DJ's will also choose events from the calendar to highlight on their shows throughout the week! To submit an event, click here!
Would you join us at our event?
Can we check our schedule?! Events are scheduled on a first come/first serve basis and subject to our availability! But, we would love to be a part if we can -- we'll bring the music, prizes and fun, so thanks for thinking of us! There is a $200 fee for presence at events...this helps cover our expenses (staffing, gas, etc.)To invite us to an event click on the Street Team tab on our homepage!
