For 12 years listeners have asked us to start a Christian station in Toronto and until now it has not been possible. Why? Because the FM dial is jammed. There are no places on the dial for even one more station. But with Ryerson losing their license, (so sad!), now 88.1 is available! Woo hoo!
The application I have been working on feels like "the application that will never end".
I have hired two consulting companies to provide factual data to back-up my ideas. Two engineers have consulted us on the technical feasibility. I have formed an Advisory Committee that consists of artists, media, technicians and event planners to help contribute to the development of the new station.
And the LIFE staff has backed me in prayer every week.
Last week, additional, last minute information was added.
This week, "the application that will never end" grew again as I enhanced it with another idea that I believe will appeal to the CRTC's concept of "the best application".
One non-Christian consultant told me he would not help us with this application, even if we paid him a million dollars because "that's how sure I am you will not be successful to get the license". That's ok. I have a secret weapon.
So - listen! I am 100% excited about this project. It is a NEW station, not a repeater station of LIFE. It is designed specifically for the GTA and has a new name that won't be revealed for a while. Already a couple of potential employees are on the "hire me" list!
I can hardly wait!
That's so sweet! I can't wait to see what God does with this :) Very exciting!!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited! We are not presumptuous, but humbly asking the Lord to open this door! We support you, Scott and pray for you.
ReplyDelete"The application that will never end" will end eventually (I am sure you are saying "phew") ... in the meantime, there are many who are praying for you that it will end in the favour of giving God the glory!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear the result. I believe God wants this to happen - the real secret weapon? Prayer! The CRTC and the other applications can't hold a candle to it! we leave this in the Lord's hands. God bless Life! God bless the new station - whatever it will be called! God bless Scott!
ReplyDeleteDude, this is so beyond exciting! Thanks for all the work you have poured into it already, I am excited to hear how it goes. Bless you man!
ReplyDeleteGod loves to prove the secular world wrong when they are so certain that His plans are foolishness. Go God. :)
