Radio Station to Feature Major Give-Away During Month of February in Celebration
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Southern Spin Radio, one of Southern Gospel music’s newest online radio stations, will be celebrating its first birthday during the month of February! January 29, 2006 will mark the station’s 1st Anniversary.
Southern Spin Radio has enjoyed an exciting first year on the air. Southern Spin Radio officially went on the air on January 29, 2005. The station is dedicated to having a strong mix of progressive, traditional, country, bluegrass, and inspirational based Southern Gospel songs in rotation.
In celebration of the station’s first birthday, Southern Spin Radio will be sponsoring a CD giveaway to all listeners. During the month of February, clues will be given multiple times a day on air describing an artist, song or album. Listeners can then go to Southern Spin Radio’s main site and enter the answer in the entry form. Each correct entry will go in a drawing at the end of the month for a CD brick of recordings from Southern Spin artists – over 30 CDs. In addition, five other names will be drawn for copies of the latest releases from country crooner Josh Turner and Lo Records artist Sheri Farmer. Listeners will get a chance to enter a correct answer at least four times, as a new clue will be given each week.
“We wanted to do something that would let the listeners know that we appreciate them sticking with us during our first year – a year that has been absolutely great!” mentioned Chris D. Unthank, program director for Southern Spin Radio. “So, we’ve come up with a unique giveaway featuring a CD brick of Southern Spin artists – everything from staples like Gold City, Dove Brothers Quartet, Paid In Full, and Hope’s Call to up and coming artists like Embrace, the Quicks, Everlasting Hope, Jonathan White, and the LeFevre Quartet.”
“Chris has a great ear for picking hit songs,” mentioned Amy Marie Unthank of SSE Group. “However, much of the success of the station has to be attributed to our programming committee who helps us decide on a lot of great music as well. We love them!”
Southern Spin Radio plays a mix of Southern Gospel but mainly plays the more progressive and country styles so prevalent among young groups today.
“We were hoping to attract new listeners to our station – those that wouldn’t give Southern Gospel radio a chance normally,” said Chris Unthank. “I believe our station has that sound that we were aiming for, and its doing a great job of attracting the kind of listener that we want.”
The station includes a programming committee which decides additions to the play list. Current members of the Advisory Committee include critics, industry veterans, artists, and fans.
Southern Spin Radio has its own main site, as well as having a portal to hear the station from SouthernGospelNews.com.
“I became introduced to Southern Spin Radio through my work,” said Nathan Newell a fan of the station. “I don’t normally like a lot of what is considered Southern Gospel, but Southern Spin Radio does a great job of keeping my attention.”
