How to start an online radio station for your church or ministry

Answer · Updated

An online station needs a stream that plays all day, something to play when nobody is live, and a link people can open. With AltarPage, your station plays your live broadcast when you're on air and your past prayer and teaching in between, day and night, and listeners use about 22 MB an hour.

What a station needs

  • Live shows: going live from a phone, a laptop or a mixing desk.
  • Something in between: recordings of past services, prayer and teaching, played in order.
  • A schedule: so listeners know when their favourite programme is on.
  • Rights to the music you play (see music licences).

Running one on AltarPage

Every broadcast you make becomes a recording on your station automatically, and you can add your past YouTube messages, sorted into series. Add your shows (with hosts and times) under Station, and your station link plays whatever's live, or the next replay. Broadcast 24/7 ($69 a month) covers broadcasting all day and night; other plans include 4, 30 or 100 live hours a month, and replays don't count towards them.

Is it really free to start?

You can try everything free for 14 days with no card. Traditional internet radio hosts charge for listener slots; AltarPage never charges per listener.
