LAUNCHING WOW.FM BACK ON-AIR?

Hi everyone,

Since shutting down WOW.FM a few days back because of a lack of donations, we have been talking with many people within our industry to find out if there was any way to salvage and put WOW.FM back on the air in 2011. After talking with folks in this business about this, we have come up with a plan, "a last ditch effort", to see if they're any listeners or businesses like yourself that wish to come on board with us and help move WOW.FM forward again.

Here's what we've come up with:

(1) We will still keep a mix of Billboard and CCM Christian hits as our format because this reaches out to both Christian and a non-Christian audience and serves as an outreach radio station for the lost.

We had several businesses that were owned or run by Christians who told us that they piped WOW.FM into their business during the day as a way to "reach out" to their employees.

We will change the format slightly according to our latest research, to play more of the oldies and pop music of both Billboard and CCM's Hits that charted in the Top 30 from the 60, 70's and 80's to draw more listeners both female and male that are 25-54 years in age on average.

Today's listener (both young and older) enjoys the oldies format and it's being proven with Arbitron Ratings throughout the US especially in major markets such as Los Angeles. WOW.FM's music format is unique and one of a kind that draws a diverse listener ship that's positive and fun!

We will come up with advertising packages that someone can purchase that will include banners and commercial spots that will air on WOW.FM...which brings me to my last point:

(2) If you would like to see WOW.FM launch back on the air, we have come up with a "One Time" package that you, your business, or maybe you know a person who has a business or ministry and you wish to help them out financially with some advertising, which will in turn, help put WOW.FM back on the air for 2011.

We need at least 7 people/businesses/ministries to give a suggested donation of $1000 each and in return we will give each person/business/ministry their own banner on the WOW.FM website for the entire 2011 year, plus (50) :60 second commercial spots to run anytime during the 2011 year.

If we can come up with even $3500 by the end of this month, we'll be able to launch WOW.FM back on the air and run the station for at least 6 months.

If you're an individual and would still like to give to WOW.FM, even small amounts could add up fast and of coarse we're appreciative of any amount that you give.


Remember that we're still a Non-Profit 501(C)(3) Tax-Exempt Corporation which means you can still receive a receipt for tax purposes. We know that it's hard earned money so thank you!!

(3) If you're interested in helping out, you would need to send us a check ASAP and email us to let us know of your interest. Please don't try to give using the donation buttons on the website. They have been disconnected at this point.

The deadline for this will be January 31st, so if you're interested, please contact us soon.

(Final Thought) I hope you don't mind us being direct here, but after 3 years of passionate hard work and having built a global audience in which many are not Christian, as well as having one of the best major market 'sounding' radio stations on the Internet today, we don't want to miss out on a last minute opportunity.

Not to mention that WOW.FM is heard on any Internet connection worldwide, all mobile phone devises without having to download or use an App, listened to in vehicles that are equipped with Wi-Fi capabilities (mainly overseas) and also heard on i-Tunes, all in CD quality...we would just hate to walk away from this.

Of coarse, maybe God has other plans so we'll see what happens here. Please pray about this and get back with me if you're interested.
