Program areas at Redeemer Radio
Fort Wayne Catholic Radio group was originally established to air Catholic Radio programs to a potential listening audience of 300,000. Because of the steady decline of Radio listenership and the growing number of podcasts being produced, in 2021, Fort Wayne Catholic Radio group/dba Redeemer Radio expanded its offerings by creating spoke street media, an online platform that allows more on-demand content. Now rather than hearing from the same 6-7 people each weekday, we can draw on hundreds of different programs, podcasts and voices. Through these new voices, Redeemer Radio and spoke street media educate listeners on a broad range of topics to nurture their spiritual, mental, and physical health. Spoke street media was able to reach an excess of 350,000 downloads from its online platform from all over the world.
