A response to: More Radio, Please
As a show host on Michigan Catholic Radio, a Detroit area Catholic radio station, I can attest to how hard all of us work to keep the station on the air, including the board of directors.
All show hosts are volunteers -- we do this out of love of our ministry and the ability to evangelize. The Church does not give money to these stations, but as an employee of the Archdiocese of Detroit's Office for Evangelization, I realize the power of the radio for evangelization.
It would be wonderful if dioceses would have radio stations that were not dependent on money from private funds or donations. This would ensure solid teachings over the airwaves and consistency in broadcasting.
