New RADIO 74 Studios Under Construction





As God provides, this solid building will become the new RADIO 74 home in 2009

We've outgrown the little white house at Archamps, France, where our studios have been temporarily located during much of the past 20 years.  We desperately need space to accomodate increasing staff.  Our lease on the old place will not be renewed.  We must move by summer 2009.
       The old house
     
The new studios will be located along a main road at the village of Maisonneuve, Haute-Savoie, France, about 5 miles south of the boarder with Geneva, Switzerland.  This concrete structure, initially with 8,400 sq. ft. of floor space, is expandible to 13,000 sq. ft.  An additional 13,000 sq. ft. can be eventually constructed on this land zoned for business.
 
The new RADIO 74 worldwide broadcast center will provide studio and office space for our three radio networks, broadcasting the "good news" in several languages via satellites to listeners in more than 100 countries of Europe, Middle-East, North Africa, and North and South America.  Eventually, coverage will be extended to Africa and Asia.

Project cost:  $1,500,000.

Six New FM Stations Authorized in the USA
                16 others expected soon

The FCC recently granted Construction Permits for new FM stations which intend to affilliate with the RADIO 74 INTERNATIONALE - USA network.

State - City	Call	Frequency	Power Kilowatts	Height Above Average Terrain	Expected Start up Date
CA - Ridgecrest	KRSF	89.3	5	1467 ft.	Early 2009
MO - Moberly	KSDQ	88.7	18	190 ft.	Summer 2009
NE - Aurora	NEW	91.9	25	197 ft.	Summer 2009
SD - Pierre	NEW	90.7	6	194 ft.	Fall 2009

WI - Wisconsin                  Rapids	WRAO	91.9	6.5	161 ft.	Unknown

     RADIO 74 INTERNATIONALE assisted more than 30 local churches, schools and other Christian non-profit organizations prepare and submit their applications during the October, 2007, FCC filing window for new non-commercial educational (NCE) FM radio stations. 

    The Lord is blessing mightily!  Latest analysis indicates that most of these applications are on track to be granted by the FCC (including the 6 already granted).  Given the level of competition, this is a high success rate.  All glory to God!

We expect the FCC will grant permits to future RADIO 74 affiliate stations in at least 14 States:

Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Florida, Iowa, Indiana, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oaklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota and Wisconsin. (See the complete list)

Most of these new full-service stations will provide strong first or second educational and Christian radio service to underserved areas of the country.

More than 1 million people will be regularly reached by these new stations.

Unlike Low Power FM stations which can only be heard a few miles, these new NCE stations will be heard over wide areas, some more than 70 miles in all directions.

Strict time limits are placed on FCC construction permits.   Once granted, a station must be fully built within 36 months or else the permit is annuled.

Construction costs of these FM stations will vary depending on tower height and output power... from as little as $15,000 up to $600,000 for the most powerful.  More than $2,000,000 will be needed during the coming 2 to 3 years to construct these new radio voices for Jesus.

These projects are stretching our faith to the limits.  We are advancing as did the Children of Israel during the Exodus.  The water is already ankle deep.  We trust the LORD to again soon part the Red Sea.  Thanks for your fervent prayers and, as possible, your support.
