The younger-teen driven show will highlight a youthful sounding program than what is presently available on most Christian radio stations, but will also include many top Christian radio hits the whole family is familiar with. The two-hour Radio iShine will be hosted by a teenager, Madi, bringing iShine's desire to “have kids minister to kids” to the forefront of this unique radio experience.

“Radio iShine represents well the heart of our mission and vision for reaching kids. iShine as a company is all about reaching pre-teens and tweens with a message of identity and purpose being found in Jesus Christ,” shares Brad Mathias, President Bema Media/iShine Live. “Radio iShine is the next stage of focus for us as ministry and we believe will engage the hundreds of thousands of iShine KNECT TV fans who have been requesting a radio program option. We’re excited and hopeful to see how God will work in the lives of our youth through these efforts.”

Producer Rick Welke states, “Radio iShine will offer a younger generation their style of radio without sacrificing some of the top hits you already hear on your local station. It's meant to be thought provoking – for the core listener and their parents – while being fun, energetic, and still be ministry-driven. Radio iShine is a show that is long overdue for the next generation of radio listeners.”

Radio stations, both terrestrial and Internet, are signing up to carry the show in the coming weeks. Anyone interested in adding Radio iShine to your station's programming can contact Rick Welke. More information about the show can be found at www.ishinelive.com/radio-faqs/.
