YourLDSradio.com Live Streaming LDS Music

Aug 2009 Issue

Seven months after being launched, yourLDSradio.com is the number two ranked online inspirational radio station among thousands of stations hosted by the Live365 internet hosting service, and has established a worldwide audience in 63 foreign countries with more than 50,000 monthly streams (according to Live 365).

YourLDSradio.com is a constantly streaming 24/7 online station targeting the LDS community. Check it out at www.yourLDSradio.com.
Noted poet, singer, songwriter and radio station host Sam Payne is the program director. The music covers many genres, but could be best described as LDS contemporary.

yourLDSradio.com has six special “on demand” programs with new material every week that listeners can enjoy anytime besides the streaming music: Sam Payne’s informative and insightful Garrison Keillor- type “Radio Family Journal;” Rebecca Cressman’s “Personal Touch” — educational and inspiring interviews with people making a difference; the “New Music Show” with Greg Hansen that introduces new musical talent; the Cricket and the Seagull Fireside Chat with Steven Kapp Perry, bringing faith-promoting interviews to listeners;
In Tune, an hour of instrumental music; and one of our most popular programs: “Peaceful Praise” – a weekly selection of sacred music.

A “sister” station – LDS Classics – was launched May 23 and plays “early LDS pop music” such as songs from Saturday’s Warrior and the filmstrip Families are Forever, Michael McLean’s Be that Friend or Janice Kapp Perry’s I’ll Walk By Faith. It can be accessed through yourLDSradio.com.

Payne said the international appeal of www.yourLDSradio.com “is a tribute to LDS audiences, who are, it seems, looking all over the world for this kind of thing. We’ve discovered there’s a hunger among far-flung Latter-day Saints to connect with the music of their culture.”
