Broadcasting

Radio Voice of Christ partners with other Christian ministries to purchase airtime on three powerful radio transmitters in the region. Two of the stations are shortwave and one is AM.

Shortwave Broadcasts

People throughout the developing world depend on shortwave radio for their news and entertainment. The advantage of shortwave is that the radio signals travel long distances. Almost all radios in the Persian world are able to receive shortwave broadcasts as well as AM and FM.

AM Broadcasts

Radio Voice of Christ programs are also broadcast on AM radio (called "medium wave" in many countries). The AM station that we use is rated at 1-million watts.

The performance of AM radio signals is predictable and changes very little with the seasons of the year or natural phenomena. AM radio signals travel short distances during the day and longer distances at night. Although AM signals cannot travel nearly as far as shortwave, AM is popular in the Persian world.

Broadcast Schedule

Persian radio programs, produced by Radio Voice of Christ and its partners, are broadcast at the following times (local Tehran time).

Daily – 6:00-8:00 pm in 31 meters shortwave
Daily – 8:00-8:30 pm in 41 meters shortwave
