MyBridge Radio: Producing a 24-hour, spiritually-engaging, non-commercial radio format in both English and Spanish that fosters spiritual growth in the lives of individual listeners, leveraging both Christ-centered music and practical Bible teaching. Approximately 250 Nebraska churches, ministries, and individuals had the opportunity to share about God's work through ministry spotlights, morning conversations, and calendar events. 1367 listeners received our music advisory team survey each month, providing valuable feedback to keep our song list relevant to listener preferences. Online listening exceeded 2,034,800 hours (2,018,564 in English and 16,236 in Spanish). Our informative website received over 54,000 visitors in 2024. Our weekly email is sent to 13,528 recipients. English language stations include 8 full-power FM, 1 AM, and 10 translators, and Spanish language stations include 2 full-power FM, 1 AM, and 2 translators, together covering 3/4 of the state's population over the airwaves. Our English and Spanish programming are both accessible statewide through online streaming and the MyBridge Radio app. Through every song played and every message shared, MyBridge Radio remains committed to helping people encounter Jesus and grow in their faith.
