I've had multiple opportunities to do what Leo's doing here (not all in the context of Christian radio, however), but to date haven't been interested because of the microscopic audiences they usually generate. I suppose I shouldn't "despise the day of small beginnings" (Zech. 4:10).
True, but one has to start somewhere. There certainly isn’t “ratings pressure,” and I’m free to develop and perfect techniques and format styles. Also, while the numbers certainly aren’t “huge,” apparently, this internet “station” seems to generate relatively large listenership in China, Japan, South Korea and Thailand. So, in a way, I get to play St. Francis Xavier without having to leave the confines of my own state. What a deal!
Also, I own the copyright, and receive the show on CD before I leave the studio. This gives me a built-in portfolio, which they don’t mind if I use once their first-use is completed. So, after a while longer, when the show is more honed, I might try to shop it around to a few airwave stations in the area and see what happens. Even if nothing else comes of it, all I asked for was just a rake to clean-up the leavings in the Vineyard, anyway, and He gave me one! What a deal!
