Connecting Community to ChristWho & what Is 104.9 RhemaFM? - About Us

Mission Statement

CONNECTING COMMUNITY TO CHRIST “Listeners choose their favourite station at least partly because it seems to reflect them-their tastes, their values, their very selves. It's a 'cultural mirror' for them in that respect-a touchstone by which they define themselves and with which they keep in touch with the elements of their culture." Therefore, by default radio, can set culture and values in society. "The role of radio as a cultural mirror motivates listeners to use a station as a 'soundtrack' for their lives." Listeners use radio as a companionable, lifestyle soundtrack to whatever they are doing.”
- Eric G Norberg: Radio Programming.
