www.live365.com/station/WCB-a24208 This is a link to my radio station, or more accurately, the Lord's radio station that He entrusted me with. I think that it is sounding pretty good overall, though it is still a work in progress. I am still adding more music and Bible verses. I am also organizing the music to try to improve the rotation of songs. There also may occasionally be a song with lyrics I do not agree with that slipped past me by mistake. I have removed a handful of songs like that since I started up, but they were not major problems, just things that were not in line with my beliefs. Still, I am pretty happy with what is on the air. My objective is to play music and Bible verses that will help encourage people to continue serving the Lord and to be overcomers. Eventually, I am also wanting to add some Bible teaching, but for now, I think just having someone read Bible verses is good because nobody can say I was perverting scripture or adding to it. It is just a voice reading portions of the Bible.
The majority of the music is southern gospel, but I do include a little light contemporary and praise and worship. I play a lot of the new songs, except where the message is off, and a lot of old album tracks and past singles. I also include certain singers you rarely hear played on the radio today like Jimmy Swaggart, John Starnes, Mike Perky, Betty Jean Robinson and David Ingles. It is a pretty big mix of musical styles. Hopefully it is improving a big each week as I do more work on it.

I have listened to it and it's very good. I believe God can use this for His Glory and purpose and reach out to the many who need this right now.

So far, things are going well. I have been gradually making minor changes. The music is all southern gospel now Monday through Friday. On Saturday, there is still a majority southern gospel, but I have more praise and worship mixed in and a little light contemporary. On Sunday, there are more hymns mixed in with the southern gospel. Listenership is up slightly from last month. I still have plans to advertise the station. Hopefully that will lead to more people visiting us and Friends of Jesus, as I am promoting both of these message boards. I am trying to be led of the Lord in all I am doing.

If you turned in today, and things were not sounding right, there was a malfunction with the scheduler. The station is still on the air, but has not been functioning right, when it comes to what tracks to play. I hope I figured out the problem and got it fixed, but it is too soon to tell. Also, I am doing some maintenance. Lord willing, it should be back to normal next week. Regardless, the gospel is still being promoted through God's Word and gospel music, which is the main thing. That was always my intention, to find a way to spread the gospel 24/7, even when I am working my job driving a truck.

I will check this out. I like southern gospel music. Let me know what you think solid , when you get a chance, especially since you like southern gospel music. I am having some occasional issues with the automation system, but it seems to be working most of the time. I am still learning about some of the quirks in it. Also, I am not overly happy about some of the ads the network runs, that I am required to air. Most of those ads you hear are not things I am running. The majority are no big deal, but there have been some that I was unhappy with, and we cannot opt out without paying a lot more each month. I do not feel like the Lord would have me to change the settings just yet, but I am still seeking His guidance on it.

It sounds good. I heard 1 ad that was political I didn't agree with, some leftist organization here in TN, but nothing immoral or anything like that. You are playing stuff I haven't heard in years and songs I never heard. I wish it was where I could listen on my car radio.

You are playing stuff I haven't heard in years and songs I never heard. I wish it was where I could listen on my car radio. Ads you will hear in Tennessee are different than what I hear in North Carolina. They are regional ads. I get a lot of ads for insurance companies and some stores like Kohl's and Lowe's Hardware. Those are all fine, but they are running one PSA I do not like promoting vaccines. They have run ads for casinos and alcohol too.
As far as listening in your car, if you have a radio with Bluetooth, you can listen through your phone. There is an app at the Google Play Store called Live365, and once you get that, just look up WCB. Once you have streamed it, the station will show up in stations you listen to. If you do not have Bluetooth, if you have an auxiliary plug in, that will work too. I have Bluetooth in my car and my wife's car, but not in my pick-up truck. The only way I can listen in the pick-up is just off the phone. In the tractor-trailer truck, I do not have Bluetooth, but I have an auxiliary jack. I probably listen to WCB 4 to 6 hours a day. The rest of the time, I am usually listening to the Bible being read or talk shows.

What's Bluetooth? I'm pretty sure I don't have that. Not sure about a plug in? I'll look into the phone app.

I'll look into the phone app. I did not know what Bluetooth was till a couple of years ago when I bought a new car that had a radio equipped with it. If you have a smart phone, you can set it up with some radios where the sound will come up on the speakers. If you are talking on the phone, you can hear the conversation through the speakers or on the phone itself. The same thing applies to anything you are listening to on your phone, including internet radio. I was able to find an app on Roku that allows me to project the phone to the television set. There are all kinds of things you can do using today's technology. I do not have one, but I was told that the new Bose wave radios have Bluetooth, and I have seen inexpensive clock radios with it built in at Wal-Mart.

I had 2 dreams this past week. In the first one,my Christian radio station suddenly took off. We did recently get a boost when LIVE365 added a Roku link. They already have a mobile app at the Google store. Most of the time I listen to the station while driving.
In the second dream, I saw several members of Narrow Way Forums wanting me to return. I also saw something that needed to be cleaned up. I have no idea what that was. It wasn't anything huge, but just something. As far as I can tell, everything looks good, but I do know that the Lord was instructing me to return.
Right now, I have a lot going on so my time is very limited. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by everything, but I know God is instructing me to do 2 things, keep the radio station up and return here.
