Christian
Science Joint Broadcast Committee Inc., Phoenix
Annual
Meeting Report—2008
The
Christian Science Joint Broadcast Committee, Inc. is a non-profit
organization established and supported by the Christian Science
churches in the Phoenix metropolitan area. The Committee goal is to
reach out to everyone through a variety of broadcast activities.
On
each of the broadcast activities we have seen growth and fruitage.
Over the past couple of years we have added the Sentinel and El
Heraldo (the Herald in Spanish) to the Bible Lesson phone line. These
are all available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our biggest news is
the expansion of The Christian Science Bible Lesson Sermon Telephone
Lines through Message Link. You can now hear them in the Tucson, and
Prescott areas, including the Sentinel and El Heraldo. We look
forward to fruitage and calls in these areas.
For
the past 15 years Radio Station KXAM has done a very good job for us.
A new contract costing $21 a Sunday more, covers the 2 programs,
and the 7 thirty-second ads per week, with more ad control and
payments going to CSJBC, instead of KXAM. Gardner’s World will
continue to pay KXAM for their 30-second ad. There is a standing
order of three CSJBC ads (phone-in numbers, website, etc,) which
rotate if church, lecture, and other ads are not to be aired. An
equitable fee of $15 is the cost for each 30-second ad, and $30 for
each 60-second ad.
The
Christian Science Sentinel Radio Program broadcast at 8:30 p.m.
Sundays on Radio Station KTNN, 660 AM from Window Rock, Arizona, is
directed to listeners living in the Four Corners area. Designated
contributions from individuals and churches need more support to meet
their expenses.
The
cost of providing two web sites is also being met by revenues
generated by the web site. Revenues have come from web site sponsors,
sale of advertising, and from donations specifically designated for
web site activities.
The
CSJBC goal is that these activities continue to be self-supporting
and fully funded with the specific revenue as outlined above. Thank
you for your support of CSJBC activities. Each church member is
important and valuable to our committee. The broadcasting work is
exciting and is reaching thousands of receptive individuals
throughout Arizona and the world. Please contact your church
representative if you need additional information.
