Launching accessmore is a natural step for EMF as it debuts its distribution in podcasting. More than 104 million Americans – 37 percent of the population – listens to a podcast monthly, according to PodcastHosting.org. About 68 million listen weekly.

 

Podcast listeners cover every age demographic. And of the 104 million monthly listeners, 41 percent earn over $75,000 a year vs. 29 percent for the nation at large.

 

Accessmore will be continually adding new podcasts, said Rahny Taylor, accessmore director.

“As podcasting continues to explode, I’m excited that we can increase the offering of faith-based content,” Taylor said. “The goal of this ever-expanding platform is to give listeners a place to accessmore on themes that interest, grow and entertain.”

In 2019, the ministry acquired WTA Media, a leader in faith-based films and publishing, and oversees its operations in Franklin, Tenn. With more than 400 employees, EMF is headquartered in Rocklin, California, and has field team members in major markets throughout the U.S. For more information on K-LOVE, Air1 or WTA, please visit  KLOVE.com, Air1.com and TheWTAGroup.com.
