WPHA Mission Statement
|
This will be accomplished by:
- Playing high quality Christian music which, by its message, will draw lost sinners to Salvation and draw Christians closer to Him:
a) The music format will be "Inspirational / Light Adult Contemporary." b) The message of every song will clearly glorify Christ as Lord. c) The balance of music to talk will be approximately 90% music. d) The tempo and style of music will be varied enough to appeal to many, but will not contain "Rock", "Rap" or other styles considered controversial or offensive by many adults.
- The limited talk programming will focus primarily upon contemporary issues as they relate to the local communities and families from a Christian perspective:
a) A local call-in talkshow with a strong emphasis on living the Christian life in modern times, here in Southern CT. b) Local church programs will be limited to those which have the capability to produce high quality recordings which are Scripturally sound. c) National programs with strong ministry & family emphasis. d) Most of the programs will air at night, since we already have an excellent program-oriented Daytime station in the area.
- Public Service Announcements, including but not limited to:
a) Church & Community related events. b) Event cancellations. c) School closings. d) Etc.
- News and general interest information of benefit to the listeners:
a) Traffic reports for major highways in the area, during the peak travel times, several times per hour. b) News, both Local and National, with the emphasis on Local.
- Special announcements to inform the public of important matters they can become involved in:
a) A church or family had a crisis; fire, flood, etc. and needs help. b) A catastrophe of larger proportions affecting a number of people, requiring volunteers and other support. c) A family (or families) made homeless and require help. d) Other situations requiring volunteers or philanthropic aid. e) Community clean-up activities.
- A companion to isolated listeners, such as:
a) Shut-ins or Convalescents. b) Prison inmates. c) Late-shift workers or insomnia sufferers.
- Continuous children's programming
from "His Kids Network", (hiskids.net) will be available to all listeners with a relatively low-cost digital radio. (This new digital technology, known as FMeXtra, will also allow WPHA to offer other continuous programming! It will, quite literally, allow WPHA to fully serve several completely diverse audiences at the same time. It makes WPHA into as many as 3 or 4 stations.)
- WPHA will work WITH the other Christian stations in our area, NOT AGAINST them.
