Cross Rhythms to cease on satellite

After 8 years broadcasting on Sky Digital, Cross Rhythms Radio believe it is time to move on from their Satellite broadcasting platform, with effect from Monday August 14th.

Cross Rhythms report that they have not taken this decision lightly, nor is it a reaction to any circumstance or need.

They report that, on one hand, they do not feel we have had fresh vision for the Satellite station since January 2001, something that would be very important to taking it forward, while at the same time however there has been two very clear aspects where there is overwhelming vision and confirmation:

1. One is the FM model for Christian radio they have pioneered across Stoke-on-Trent, which they see has having come into a whole new season of multiplication. Not only did Cross Rhythms receive a new 5 year licence, but two further FM stations (Cross Rhythms Plymouth and Cross Rhythms Teesside) are due to start broadcasting in the next year or so as they work in collaboration with groups in those cities.
2. Secondly, the effectiveness of the newly re-launched Cross Rhythms website has been beyond their expectations. Currently it sees more than 130,000 different people using it every month. With the growth in broadband use across theUK, Cross Rhythms now see the development of the Cross Rhythms website and with it the delivery of Cross Rhythms Radio through the internet, as a key part of their future.
