Otherwise, let’s get started:Our mission is simple – to spread the knowledge, love and practice of the Catholic faith by way of radio. Really, this is a response to the call of the late Pope John Paul II to embark on the New Evangelization. He specifically called us to use radio as one of the means to communicate the faith.
Immaculate Heart Radio is a non-profit Catholic lay apostolate whose sole purpose is to operate all-Catholic radio stations. Our founder, Doug Sherman started our ministry twelve years ago with our first radio station in Reno, Nevada. Today we operate 25 Catholic radio stations and growing, throughout the western United States, including a large part of California, parts of Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico.
Our 25th radio station launched on December 17, 2009 in Phoenix. KIHP 1310 AM is a powerful radio station, able to reach most of the population of Arizona. Nearly 4.5 million people are in our listening area.
Immaculate Heart Radio broadcasts all-Catholic programming from many great organizations throughout the world.
We’re very proud to have been voted the 3rd most popular radio station in the Sacramento, CA area. Quite an accomplishment.
This demographic information is for the San Francisco bay area. Demographics for Arizona will vary from these numbers, but it does give you a sense of the type of listener here in Utah that will hear your message.
During our on-air pledge drives, listeners who are devout Catholics, Catholics who’ve been away from the Church, and non-Catholics call in to make a financial pledge of support. These are some of the comments we hear. We have collected so many over the years that we’ve assembled some of them into a booklet. We’ve been very pleased to experience rapid listenership growth, a positive response and a wonderful welcome for Catholic radio since our Phoenixlaunch in December 2009. We look forward to receiving many more testimonials like these right here in the Phoenix regional area.
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops recognizes the value of Catholic radio and the affect it has on the faithful.
This is one testimonial from one of our many underwriters.
This is a partial list of some underwriters past and present who have supported Immaculate Heart Radio.
Here’s a sample, partial list of some underwriters who have supported us for over ten years.
Here are examples of some of components of our marketing campaign we executed with the launch of our San Francisco bay area station. We have already launched a similar marketing campaign in the Phoenix regional area. As we make this investment in building listenership, more people will hear your message.
Great Catholic programming makes for an ideal platform for your message.We have launched an aggressive billboard campaign to inform the public of Immaculate Heart Radio in Arizona. As an underwriter you will benefit as we make this investment to increase listenership.With the full endorsement of the Bishop’s office Immaculate Heart Radio community relations speakers will speak from the pulpit at all masses at parishes throughout the Phoenix region. The viral effect of word-of-mouth has been amazing in all our other markets. We’ll continue to speak at parishes all over Arizona to grow our listenership. As an underwriter, you benefit from these efforts.Our underwriting rates are typically a fraction of what one would pay for similar spots on secular, commercial radio.Only thru the financial support of businesses and people like you is Catholic radio possible. This is the partnership that helps us accomplish our mission of spreading the Catholic faith by radio, while having your message heard by our loyal listeners.
We have a number of underwriting options, starting with our most used and most effective method – the 30 second spot. In addition, we can also offer program sponsorships where we air your announcement prior to and at the end of some of our programs. And we offer other ways for you to get your message to our listeners. I can provide more information and answer any questions on these options when we speak.
We will produce highly professional 30 second spots for you at no charge. We work with you on developing a script that will comply with FCC rules for non-profit radio. The monthly rates refer to 30 spots per month. However, we offer a significant discount on our 12 month contract and another discount for pre-paying. If for whatever reason you decide not to continue underwriting, you may cancel at any time. I am happy to discuss with you the cost of the other underwriter options as well, so if 30 second spots do not fit your budget, just let me know. As you can see from the other options listed, I’m certain we can tailor something to fit your budget while getting your message out to our listeners.
After twelve years of operating Catholic radio stations, our experience has been that our listeners are a very loyal group. They support those businesses that support our apostolate. Again, I’d like to thank you very much for taking the time to allow me to present to you the Immaculate Heart Radio underwriting opportunity.
