Pretty much - and with the need now to be more than just "radio" EMF is clearly working not only at ensuring their branding is on the dial in virtually every city, but they are investing in things like podcasting etc... to expand that online presence as well.

What Is The Largest Market Without A K-Love Affiliate?

EMF's message is quite empty IMHO.
K-Love is just a CHR station with "Jesus" in the lyrics of some songs. And it's clearly operated like a commercial station, but without the ads. So basically your donation does nothing more than replacing the ads, instead of helping them preach the Gospel nationwide.

No affiliate in Spokane/Coeur D'Alene to my knowledge. They have two locally-owned CCM stations and a ton of religious teaching/preaching stations (KMBI Moody Radio is one of them), some of which have conservative Christian talk programming.
I wouldn't doubt if EMF does buy some lowly Spokane station in the near future, however. It would be a national alternative to the other CCM stations, and Spokane/Coeur D'Alene lean towards the right (the Idaho side is strongly conservative).

Won't happen in Dallas anytime soon since KLUV 98.7 has that trademarked there. Air1 is on Houston rimshot 103.7..surprised they don't use HD to carry KLOVE then out it on some xlators in Houston
It's an Air 1 station
What is wrong with the logic of wanting to bring their music and message to everyone possible? Since they are listener supported with no advertising, of course they will frequently ask for listener support... and that still takes of lots less time than a full schedule of commercials.
I would argue it's AC. Have you heard secular AC lately?
It's Christian AC and it DOES reach people with the Gospel.
You're correct - there's no K-Love affiliate in Spokane-Coeur d'Alene. Nearest affiliate is KRKL 93.3 Walla Walla/Tri Cities. Spokane has four CCM stations (89.1, 101.9/107.5, 104.5 and 104.9/94.9) - the latter two locally operated, and six religious preaching stations (96.5, 97.3/93.3, 97.7, 106.1, 106.5 and 107.9).
101.9 KTSL is an Air1 affiliate, and I'm thinking if EMF were to introduce K-Love, Radio Nueva, or Boost, they might use an HD subchannel - either by upgrading 101.9 or getting into some deal with iHeart or the owners of KEEH to use one of their HD channels.
Boost is a channel?
Let me get this straight: Spokane has an Air One affiliate? K-Love is EMF's "bread and butter"!
That's correct. Spokane has Air1, but no K-Love. Spokane don't really need it anyway, as they have three additional CCM stations - WayFM 89.1, Joy 104.5 (New!), and Shine 104.9.
Boost is a Christian hip-hop network owned and operated by St. Louis-based Gateway Creative Broadcasting, KXBS 95.5 being the flagship station. EMF has a deal with Gateway that has resulted in Boost expanding to a handful of EMF HD subchannels across the country: 97.9-HD3 in Chicago, 96.3-HD2 in Minneapolis, 98.3-HD3 in Pittsburgh, 107.3-HD4 in Fayetteville NC, and 97.9-HD3 in Portland.
Maybe. Christian CHR apparently doesn't have that many stations since Air-1 and WAY-FM went Praise and Worship.
I listen either KIIS-FM, KAMP or KSPN most of the time, so no.
If anyone felt hurt by my opinion on K-Love, please accept my apologies. To be honest tho, if I have to choose the best Christian station, I'd say it's either NGEN or Radio U. In my humble opinion, of course
