Program Policy

We are a non-profit organization operating non-commercial radio broadcasts. Broadcast rates reflect a sharing of costs. We raise funds from other sources to cover additional expenses incurred. In order to be faithful partners in this world outreach, all ministries must comply with the following points…

  1. To begin to broadcast your program, it is necessary to sign an contract. This may be paid in advance or in monthly installments. It is required to make one monthly payment before the first broadcast starts.
  2. In order for either party to cancel or amend a broadcast agreement a written notice, thirty (30) days in advance of the effective date, is required.
  3. A four week supply of programs must be received before programs will be aired. Programs should be received four weeks in advance of airdate. If we do not receive programs on time, we will replay an earlier program. Programs should be sent to one of the following offices:

    Bible Voice Broadcasting,
    P O Box 249,
    Brownsburg,
    IN,
    46112-0249,
    USA

    Bible Voice Broadcasting,
    P O Box 1160,
    Mount Albert,
    Ontario,
    L0G 1M0,
    CANADA

  4. Programs requiring payment for customs will not be accepted.
  5. Programs must be at least 90 seconds shorter than the time allotted to allow for station breaks and ID’s.
  6. Programs must be broadcast quality. Formats accepted are cassette, MiniDisc, CD or MP3. MiniDiscs must be recorded in standard mode, not long-play. MP3 files should be recorded at 32Kbps with a sampling rate of 22050Hz in mono. If a church service is recorded for broadcast, care must be taken to edit out announcements, local matters and blank spots (dead air). We prefer programs to be recorded especially for broadcast.
  7. Programs will not be returned unless payment for shipment is received.
  8. We reserve the right to edit or not play any programming not adhering to our Statement of Faith or quality standards. In the event a program is not aired for this or any reason the broadcaster will be notified.
  9. Program air times are according to Universal Time/UTC (GMT). For this reason local time may change due to daylight savings time. Frequencies may also change due to seasonal frequency coordination or signal propagation considerations.
  10. The programs must be listener oriented.
  11. The programs must be positive in their nature. Negative opinions about people or organizations, whether political or religious, must be avoided. Programs must not be used to solicit contributions.
  12. All program content must have the Bible as its basis and be based in the overall message of the Bible.
  13. The programs must show how God cares for the entire person – body, soul and spirit. Where needed, and if resources permit, the programs may contain information and teaching about health care, agricultural, environmental and other social matters.
  14. The programs must maintain a high technical, cultural, Christian and moral level.
  15. The translation of program material from other languages is acceptable only if that material has been adapted to listener culture and manner of communication.
  16. The programmer may use the mailing address assigned for Bible Voice Broadcasting within the target area.
  17. The transmission of programs must not infringe the intellectual property of any other rights of any third Party.
  18. The program content must not contain anything which is defamatory, obscene or illegal or which will be in breach of any applicable laws and/or regulatory codes, including, without limitation, any laws, codes or standards which would be applicable if the supply of the program was to be licensed by the Radio Authority as a local service.
  19. The broadcast frequency or time should NOT be included in any program announcements due to daylight savings time and seasonal shortwave changes. Announcements concerning changes will be made by our studio staff.
