My Market

How much do you think it would cost to be on the air in your city?

Not nearly as much as you might imagine...

Although each market is different, and we will not know the specifics on your market until we explore the stations there, we can get Christ in front of tens of thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) for much less than you would think.

Example: Phoenix, Arizona- 15th largest radio and TV market in the U.S.

We currently air on KISS FM to a weekly listening audience of over 435,000 people for just $500 a week.

Cox Cable affords us the opportunity to reach 408,000+ people a week on stations like MTV, VH1, Cartoon Network [adult swim] and Nick at night for only $1,034 a week.

Interested in knowing how many students are listening to the top stations in your area? Would you like to know how much it would cost to share the love of Jesus using one of those stations? If so, fill out the form below and we will research the answers to your questions and get right back to you.

It is doable.

Sharing Christ with 435,000 young people in Phoenix, Arizona on radio sounds like a great idea right? Every youth minister in the world would love that audience. But not everyone has an extra $26,000 in his or her annual budget. Perhaps you are that person. You would love to see this happen, but you don't know how to come up with the cash. We have listed the three most common routes that people go to ensure proper funding for a radio campaign. As you look them over, remember that there are many ways to make this happen.

One gift for the annual amount.

If your church/business understand the importance of using media to reach the younger generations and if they can make available the necessary funds, this is the quickest route to make this happen. Also, there are people in your church/community that believe in reaching students with the gospel who would get excited about the pure metrics of this opportunity. Share the vision with as many as possible and watch what God might do.

Twelve $2,100 gifts.

Some communities find it easier to raise the necessary funds if they split it up. Twelve people/churches/businesses that would contribute $2,100 a year would put you very close to the goal.

Twenty-one $100 monthly givers.

$2,100 at one time might seem out of reach to some, but $100 a month seems more doable. If you committed $100 a month and found 20 others to do the same, you have a station paid for.

The key is to get creative. Keeping Christ in the culture is important. And, although it might take some brainstorming, the funds are there. If you want to talk this process through with Groundwire staff, let us know. We would love to pray with you and help find the best solution for your market.

Let's Get Started

The call to youth minstry is not just a call to a church. It is a call to a generation. We love "our" students, but like God, we want all young people to come to a knowledge of the truth.

Only in media will you find huge numbers of students from all different spiritual backgrounds gathering daily and offering you the opportunity to share your convictions. And, only through this medium can we tell them about Christ's love for such a small investment.

As you look at the opportunity that exists to use mainstream radio to reach young people in your market, many excuses may arise. The main one would be, "I can't come up with that kind of money." However, I believe we should consider it from a different angle. "Can we afford not to?"

We look forward to working with you to see lives transformed in your community.
