I think I have pointed out that I live
in Houston, Texas, USA. This is a rich, deep religious part of the
world. As a Christian media fan and user I benefit from a fine
selection of local stations. We have a mix of network and originally
programmed stations. If you live in a market lacking one of this kind
of choices please use one of ours.
I like to do local band scans.
Sometimes I just log the amount of radio stations I can get in one
place. Its amazing whats available on just your car radio (best) or
any radio. You can discover more choices every time you push the
tuner button or wheel.
In big markets you can focus on a type
of station. With the help of the net you can gain information about
power and location. (Huge when listening to terrestrial stations)
With the internet, you can also listen to stations that might be in
your area, but are too weak to really hear well. I have done these
for Austin Texas and Houston. Each time I discover new things about
my local stations.
A practical thing about the list is
the ability to use the text to link to those broadcasters and listen
to some God honoring radio, though this new medium of computers.
For organizational reason I simply
went across the FM band then the AM band. In most cases the “listen”
button on the site will take you to audio of the station. If that was
a problem, I gave you an alternative. When wanting to listen to one
station in a place a website and a listen button usually solves most
issues.
88.1 FM and AM 980 station is owned by
Radio Aleluya.
There web site is found at
http://radioaleluya.org/ The
station plays Spanish Christian music and ministry. The website is
not very mature yet. I found a site to stream audio
http://streema.com/radios/Radio_Aleluya_KRTX
This one may be a mystery for awhile. With 100,000 the max, the
station's 700 watt ERP makes it very low power. The AM 980 signal is
better on most days. They are also an HD3 some where on the FM dail.
(103.3 KAMA, I believe)
American Family Radio on 88.3 is out
of Conroe, Texas but comes in all over Houston. They are found at
http://www.afa.net/Radio/ on
the net. This signal is a clone of what is on the local channel if
the channel is a full network station, which 88.3 is. This channel is
mainly conservative Christian commentary on politics and other
issues.

straight to their mp3 file. Lots of power, locally with a 100,000
Watt ERP.

play on many media players. Like many stations “there is an app for
that.”
KJIC 90.5fm from Santa Fe, Tx can
mainly be heard South of Houston, Its letters stand for K Jesus is
coming http://kjic.org/ The website is
good to listen to along with a link to worship and praise. A 36,000
Watt ERP means this station is really a rimshot to Houston. This
station was the town's Southern Gospel channel, but it has widened
its music a little.

Salem broadcasting Network station with brokered Christian
ministries. http://www.kkht.com/.
