HOW TO GET YOUR CHRISTIAN SONG ON THE RADIO
Christian and gospel radio has one of the most loyal listening audiences anywhere, and independent stations and church-run programs play new artists every week.
Singable beats impressive
A lot of Christian programming leans on songs a congregation could sing back. A clear, repeatable chorus gets replayed more than a complex arrangement.
Lyrics help here
Unlike most formats, Christian programmers often read the lyric sheet. Include it. It makes the decision faster and shows you take the message seriously.
Churches and local shows first
Church-affiliated and community stations are the most open door in the format, and they build real listener relationships rather than one throwaway spin.
