Isn't that "Harvest Broadcasting"? Just goes to show you how difficult
it is to run a SW station with paid programming, especially religious
and right wing. The broadcasters simply don't pay enough to keep the
juice on.


World Harvest Radio ended up with the old WCSN. They're now WHRA.

WCSN and WSHB were alot more interesting back when the Christian Science
Monitor had their Monitor Radio network going.


Now if only WWCR and WWRB would disappear...



NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!

Ah yes. I'd forgotten all about Monitor Radio. That was a classy, informative
operation.

Yes, it was. Unfortunately, it cost more than the Church wanted to
spend. As I understand, attempting to run a TV operation really drained
their funds quickly. They still have the Christian Science Monitor, but
I haven't seen one of those papers in years. It did have a reputation
for first rate journalism.

Thanks! Looks like the Christian Science Monitor is still doing a good
job. Too bad about Monitor Radio, though.

Frank Dresser

Thanks, Frank. I was going to say they had a Web version.

I think AFRTS and Monitor Radio each did a good job of presenting
America in a way the VOA doesn't. As much as I enjoy domestic shortwave
radio, I'm not sure nonamericans have the cultural backround to seperate
the wheat from the chaff. Sorta like the false image "The Untouchables"
gave to Chicago.

According to a Boston " Globe " story last Thursday, CS church
officials plan to make changes to the print edition of the CSM
newspaper, as well as exploring the possibility of charging for
subscriptions for the online version. Church treasurer Walter D. Jones
said that the Church' s publishing and broadcasting division, the
Christian Science Publishing Society, must break even by 2008 and turn
a profit by 2009.

I really like it when those non-profit outfits start talking 'profit'.

At least I'm assuming they are a non-profit organisation.
