(PRWEB)
April 17, 2004--Operating on a Restricted Service Licence issued by
OFCOM, which allows the station to broadcast for 28 days. Listeners
will be able to hear the programmes on 105.4 FM or on the internet via
the stations website http://www.revivalradio.org.uk
Broadcasting from
their base in Cumbernauld, the Revival Radio signal will be heard over
much of Lanarkshire, parts of Dumbartonshire and Renfrewshire, as well
as the City of Glasgow.
Revival Radio has
been broadcasting since 1996 and is Scotland's premier Christian radio
station with a vision to establish full-time Christian broadcasting
in Scotland.
The station's programmes
are live from 7am to midnight every day and all programming is produced
locally. An overnight service is provided in conjunction with United
Christian Broadcasters, the UK's leading Christian broadcasting service.
With a distinctly
Scottish voice, Revival Radio reflects the independent nature of Scotland's
churches and supports their vital role in Scotland's communities today.
The station carries
a varied programme content with daily morning, lunchtime and drivetime
anchor programmes providing a mixture of music and talk. Evenings bring
a variety of music choice from Southern Gospel and Christian Country
music to the very latest in Contemporary Christian Music.
Although the station's
ethos is always Christian, an increasing amount of it's talk content
is community focussed, bringing programming that is of interest to people
of all walks of life.
The station's music
output is primarily Christian, from classical to contemporary, and provides
an outlet for an area of the music industry which is largely unknown
in the United Kingdom. Music stores report an increase in the sales
of contemporary Christian music every time Revival Radio comes on air.
