Easily Enter the Fast-Growing Christian Hip Hop Market!
Christian urban music is one of the fastest growing genres in all of music. Christian urban artists are now regularly outselling their secular counterparts. Lecrae’s album “Gravity” hit #3 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart during its inaugural week. Despite this explosive growth in album sales and tour revenue, Christian urban music has been underrepresented on the radio airwaves. As a result, the Christian urban format has been largely driven by the growth of Internet radio. Jam the Hype has been at the forefront of this movement, and our 24/7 Internet radio stream is one of the biggest urban Christian streams in the world. Jam the Hype is also one of the most-well-known brands with it’s class-leading website, a 2-hour syndicated FM show, and it’s 24/7 radio stream. You can take advantage of our infrastructure for a turnkey solution to tap into this explosive new audience of listeners!
As an existing broadcaster, you may have a translator, or an additional tower that is part of your network that could serve a local market with unique programming that meets their needs. Jam the Hype may be able to fill that need given that our market is 66% Male / 33% Female across a racially diverse audience, with an 18-55 age range and 18-35 year old core.
We can either deliver Jam the Hype as a translator signal, or we can deliver it as a “white label” solution, where we provide the playlist and other components of the broadcast, but you provide the branding, weather, traffic, and advertising. However, we find that many stations are looking for ready-to-deliver content. Which solution you prefer is up to you!
How We Deliver the Signal
We use WideOrbit radio automation software, which is the same radio automation software that many large and major market stations use. We deliver our signal via an Internet stream for you to broadcast or relay to your broadcast tower. We can also send “satellite-style closures” over the internet, using low-cost closure-over-IP boxes that are approximately $100-$300 each.
What About Redundancy?
We broadcast from our computers in Nashville, Tennessee but we also have a “failover” system in Seattle, Washington. So, if there’s ever an outage (or threat of a weather event in Nashville) we can switch over to our Seattle broadcast location so that we deliver reliable uptime for you.
Contact Us
If you have more questions about our programming or technical setup, just give us a call. Call 877-803-7345 and talk to Derek or Chris. We may be able to even come out to your location and coordinate how we can best deliver our content to you. Whether it’s over the phone or in-person, we’d be happy to brainstorm with you about how you can use your existing infrastructure with Jam the Hype to maximize your audience!
