Covenant Radio Launches Sola5 Radio
About a month ago Covenant Radio began to test a new online radio station to offer an alternative to the number of online broadcasting the exists on the internet. After some thought and discussion we have decided to launch this on a full-time basis beginning with structured programming that starts on December 29, 2009 at 7 AM ET.
Until that date you are able to listen to Sola5 Radio as we continue to work out some bugs however, there is no structured format during this “test phase”. We are currently broadcasting from 7 AM until approximately 7 PM. We hope you will tune in and drop us a line to let us know that you did and what you thought.
Why the name “Sola5″? Simple. We borrowed the name from the 5 Solas of the Protestant Reformation: Sola Scriptura (Scriptura Alone), Sola Fide (Faith Alone), Sola Gatia (Grace Alone), Solus Christus (Christ Alone), Soli Deo Gloria (Glory to God Alone).
What is the goal of Sola5 Radio? Our goal and aim is to promote solid, reformed and biblically based material with the help of lectures and sermons as well as music. We are striving to bring glory and honor to the name of the great “I AM”. While much of our world is consumed with the entertainment driven industry we are working to promote a solidly biblical medium that will promote the glory of God and assist in the edification and sanctification of His people.
What are the costs associated with this internet radio station? For the user there are none. You are able to listen at will just as you would listen to any radio station. Simply tune in and listen during the broadcasting hours of 7 AM – 9 PM ET. However, this is not free for us to run and depends solely on the support of its listeners. If you are willing to donate to Sola5 Radio we ask that you donate through the
Covenant Radio’s donation page. Covenant Radio fully underwrites Sola5 Radio.
What kind of programming is Sola5 Radio going to offer? As stated above, Sola5 Radio is committed to bringing the very best in biblical and Reformed programming. You will hear solidly Reformed and gifted pastors, theologians and lecturers such as Dr. Joel Beeke, Dr. Alan Cairns, Dr. Joe Morecraft to name a few. As with most radio stations we are not going to be a “lecture only” radio station but will also provide music from varying genres such as classical, jazz, contemporary Christian, hymns and the like. We are also very committed to offering the reading of the Holy Scriptures as a main staple and priority. Thanks to the gift of a current listener we are pleased to offer the entire 1599 Geneva Audio Bible for use in our programing.
Does Sola5 Radio offer a programming guide? Yes. Though the program guide may require a few adjustments as we move forward you are able to see what the daily lineup are by downloading the current programming guide at:
