Christian FM Media Group has announced a strategic partnership with Local Radio Networks (LRN) to utilize LRN's delivery platform and affiliate sales services for the recently acquired Today's Christian Music (TCM) format. This heritage 24/7 Contemporary Christian format is currently airing across 102 stations nationwide and features popular Christian radio personalities such as Beth Bacall, Kim Fitz, and the morning duo Kevin and Amy.

LRN will provide its proprietary Radio Velocity Control Software (RVC), acclaimed for its advanced localization content and control capabilities. This technology allows TCM affiliates to enjoy enhanced customization, including the selection of market-exclusive radio hosts.

Jon Hamilton, President of Christian FM Media Group, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, highlighting the benefits for TCM affiliates. "LRN's unique ability to seamlessly integrate and deliver the format to most major automation systems is simply amazing," said Hamilton. "For them, it means no more filling satellite windows and having total control of their on-air sound."

Steve Swick, CEO of Local Radio Networks, also commented on the collaboration. "We are delighted to partner with Jon and the Christian FM Media Group for distribution and affiliate sales of its TCM format," stated Swick. "There is a demand for a well-programmed and produced religious radio format, and with our RVC software technology, TCM affiliates get superior quality programming, as well as best-in-class delivery technology with unparalleled localization content and control features."

Hamilton also praised LRN's innovative approach to syndication since 2015. "The ability to choose hosts is an exceptionally outstanding feature that will give us the flexibility we need. Steve and company are leading the way," he added.

LRN's RVC technology is a VPN-based system that provides significant advantages over traditional satellite downlinks, offering 100 percent redundancy, flexible clocks, and user-friendly integration into existing broadcast systems.
