Call to Prayer: NRB Members in Turkey

As monumental earthquakes devastate Turkey and Syria, with thousands of lives lost, an NRB member station in Antioch, Turkey, has gone off the air.

NRB members assisting with disaster relief on the ground include Cru, Samaritan’s Purse, Operation Blessing, TWR, and Shema Media Group. The Salem Radio Network is also launching a campaign with non-profit international relief agency Food For The Poor (FFTP) to help raise funds and mobilize aid to Turkey and Syria.

We ask you to join the NRB family in prayer for our members broadcasting and ministering in Turkey, for all those impacted by this tragic event, and for those who are courageously going to help.

119 Original Cosponsors Champion the Local Radio Freedom Act in 118th Congress

The battle between the Local Radio Freedom Act (LRFA) and the American Music Fairness Act (AMFA) is officially “on” again. Both the broadcasting industry and the recording industry saw their signature, opposing legislative proposals introduced to the 118th Congress in the space of four days.

The LRFA made its high-impact debut in the House of Representatives on February 6 with a remarkable 119 original cosponsors for H.Con.Res.13. On Tuesday morning, the NRB issued a statement of support.

“There’s never been a more important time to maintain access for Christian communicators, and one way to do that is to help protect a business environment that allows small, local, and independent radio to thrive,” said President & CEO Troy A. Miller. “Our members not only minister to the spiritual welfare of America through Christian music, talk, and teaching, but they actively seek to meet the needs of the community through service and charitable activities. We’re committed to protecting their ability to do so, and the NRB thanks the 119 bipartisan members of Congress who have already expressed their support for local radio by cosponsoring the Local Radio Freedom Act.”
