October 8, 2022 Street Level Radio

Remote Broadcasting

We have been blessed to get out and do a remote broadcast at UW-Stout this semester. We were invited by Street Level, Blind Munchies Coffeehouse, and Word on the Street Magazine, as they were all there too. We are planning to do it one more time before the snow flies (hopefully!).

Please keep us in prayer as we would like to interact with actual people as much as possible.

Street Level Radio and Word on the Street

Streaming Data

Here is a look at the data for both the US and the Philippines streams. Please keep our listeners in prayer as we gain more and more as time goes on. This quarter, our top countries for unique listeners were the US, Philippines, China, Russia, Germany, and Ireland. Oddly though, going by Total Duration (how much people listened or stayed connected to the stream) it would be the US, Philippines, Cabo Verde, Reunion, and Myanmar. So people are listening!

Update from Website

As Pastor Tim mentioned in his blog, we received a nice message via our website from a listener in Uganda:
Hi Street level Radio, Praise King Jesus and greetings to you all at Street level Radio. My name is Derrick Kiirya listening in live from Mayuge, Uganda .  So blessed to be tuned in live . Just finished my church service at Bestheda Deliverance Church, Mayuge. I will be following you on Facebook and IG , so that I can keep in touch always. Thank you so much.
Blessings and love
It is really nice and rare to get feedback like this as a radio ministry – so thank God for that! Please pray that we get more feedback as to where our listeners are listening from!

Philippines Radio Location Addition

In the Philippines, we recently got a new location for our antenna array – at Carol’s Karenderia. As our “hubs” get added, that means we get more area coverage for our station. The listeners can lock onto our website and stream the station for free (not using data). Here is a screenshot here of the coverage this array gives us:

Please pray for this technology and our future endeavors with using the station in this way. We are always looking for creative ways to allow listeners in the Philippines to be able to stream our station for free.

Recent Changes

Recently, Burning Dog Radio underwent a merger and name change. Street Level Radio merged with our sister station in the Philippines – and it’s been awesome. Brittany and Jael have joined the ranks and we’ve been able to meet as a whole group, have training sessions between our locations, and do remote broadcasts. Though some of these things were already happening, the goal here will be to be more of a unified front as Street Level Radio gets out there. Now Street Level Radio exists in Menomonie, River Falls, Duluth, and Cebu City! Please pray as one of our goals is to reach students and to continually point to and support Street Level Ministries.

Listener Data

An example of our listener data.

Now that we are one station and streaming online, we can get a view into who is listening. Since March, we have had listeners in the US, Philippines, Ireland, China, Russia, India, Japan, Korea, Ghana, Germany, Finland, UK, Ecuador, and Portugal. This data is available because we use a service called Radiomast that tells us based on location who and how many listeners we’ve had using the stream.

Tech-side

As you may have noticed, we have a new website. There are two players – with a Philippines-specific stream to facilitate the time difference. On the Philippines stream, you will also hear sponsor promos for each location hosting a station location, as well as some Original Philipino Music throughout the day.

Many thanks to the tech people helping out to update the technology used at all these locations. (which also includes River Falls and Duluth)

Getting Out There – and Prayer Requests

Please pray for the station at all of our locations, that we are able to successfully get out there and engage people on our campuses and cities. Along these lines, we could use prayer for our choices in merch! Thanks for all the prayer and support of the station, in general, it is greatly appreciated!

Online Streaming

We’re excited to announce that soon Burning Dog Radio will start streaming online! With a little help from our friends at JFBelievers in Duluth and River Falls, we are going to be able to have our programming available to people outside the reach of our radio broadcast.

We are really excited about this change, and hope that you’ll tune in – we will have a plugin/app available at burningdogradio.com. Please pray for us as we move to make programming changes accordingly. Pray that we can see the effects of this change – we want to be sure we’re using God’s money correctly.

In Menomonie, you can listen to 101.7 FM to hear more about WHEN this will start! Other announcements will be posted on our social media.

Programming Changes

There will be some changes to our programming due to the fact that we are going to be streaming. Some of those changes will include:

  • more promos for Street Level Superior and River Falls
  • promos for Believers Church in Duluth
  • teachings and teaching clips from Pastor Justin in addition to our teaching clips from Pastor Tim in Menomonie.

You will hearing more information about these locations simply due to the fact that now….the station also belongs to them. Pray especially for the reach of the gospel to go out to Superior and Duluth through the teachings, and that we can advertise them well!

We are also planning to team up with WOTS on a more regular basis – so listen in for our Word On the Street segment. This will include snippets of their articles, music, and possibly interviews with the writers.

Remember Remote Broadcasts?!

Sometimes, when you have a radio station – you’re able to do these things called “remote broadcasts”, where you go out with your gear and do a show in a different location. These are cool because you can meet people, interact, promote the station itself….you know…. fun stuff.

We have not been doing much of this through the year, but we hope to get back out there as soon as we can. Prayers for this are appreciated.

Prayers

Pray for the radio as we start streaming online:

  • that people “far and wide” would listen to Burning Dog Radio and that it would be valuable to them.
  • that we are able to advertise this change well
  • for Duluth and RF churches and Street Level as they become involved

Pray for creativity for us! We need to be creative with our time and resources – especially to reach out this year. Reaching out may be different for us as we start streaming – so pray we keep our eyes open to the changes we are supposed to make!
