Moody Radio To Sell Three AM Stations

Selling Its AMs

MOODY RADIO is getting out of the AM radio business, announcing that it is putting its three AM stations up for sale to concentrate on its FM network expansion, including potential purchases of more FMs as well as digital content additions.

The stations on the block include Spanish Religion WMBI-A-W268AY (RADIO MOODY)/CHICAGO, Spanish Religion WDLM-A (RADIO MOODY)/EAST MOLINE, IL (QUAD CITIES), and Spanish Religion WGNR-A (RADIO MOODY)/ANDERSON, IN.

A statement from SVP/Media GREG THORNTON read, “MOODY RADIO seeks to transform the world for CHRIST, one listener at a time, by producing and delivering quality, creative, biblical content, which helps people take the next step in their journey with JESUS CHRIST. In looking to the future, MOODY RADIO is committed to Dr. JOBE’s vision to double MOODY’s overall impact by the year 2030. Our strategic road map to achieving this bold vision includes audience growth through market expansion/re-alignment, and content development strategies.

"Recognizing the limitations of AM broadcasting today, including the limitation on many AM stations to only broadcast in the daytime, as well as the dramatic rise in digital/online/mobile listening, MOODY RADIO will be selling AM 1110 in CHICAGO, AM 960 in EAST MOLINE, IL, and AM 1470 in ANDERSON, IN. Listeners in these cities will still hear MOODY RADIO broadcasting 24 hours a day on our strong FM signals. Proceeds from the sale of these three AM licenses will be used to further the expansion of MOODY RADIO and RADIO MOODY (Spanish), through the addition of digital/online content, new apps in both English and Spanish, and the acquisition of select FM broadcast licenses.

"We’re excited about reaching even more listeners as we expand our lineup of digital and terrestrial channels to achieve the goal of doubling our impact by 2030!”
