It seems to me that this article presents a very limited point of view of Christian Radio.

For example, there's a whole range of formats to Christian radio, and not all focus on playing Christian music. Some are more oriented toward the "talk radio" format, and others offer a more-or-less balanced mixture of talk and music. Consider for example WMBI, flagship station of the Moody Bible Institute radio network (www.wmbi.org).

I don't have time to work on this now -- anyone else is, of course, welcome to give it a shot.

This article bizarrely refers to Christian radio only in the United States without giving any clarification that it is about Christian radio in the United States. It also does not clarify conservative trends in Christian radio in the US and elsewhere. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.237.205.21 (talk)

Well, if you have knowledge of Christian radio elsewhere, feel free to add, as my knowledge is limited to the U.S. I'd hesitate to call it "bizarre," as it is merely the result of the geographically-limited knowledge of the current editors.

I have added {{globalize/USA}} to the article (and the same to Christian media). I have knowledge of Christian radio in Australia, but don't have time to improve the article. When I do, I'll come back and do so if someone hasn't beat me to it! Tim (talk) 09:05, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

This article is also very slanted towards Contemporary Christian/Christian pop music. Both Southern Gospel and urban contemporary gospel have a large stake in Christian radio. A rewrite is probably in order here. Absolon S. Kent (talk) 18:42, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ben J. Ditzel?

who is this, when i clicked on the truth for life, i was auto directed to Alistair Begg, which i have since fixed. so... why is ben cliamed to be the brought to you by, when alistair's page claims he is the only voice? It seems to me that there has been some self promotion on one or both parties. Barbedwireincident 00:00, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
