Stay Connected

As a radio station, the obvious way for our listeners to stay connected to us is by tuning in. In Eastern Nebraska, listeners will find us on 102.7-FM; in Northeast Nebraska on 88.3-FM; in Central Nebraska on 91.5-FM; and in North Platte on 90.1-FM.

What you may not realize is that there are a number of other fun, engaging ways to stay connected to Spirit Catholic Radio.

As the Marketing and Promotions Manager for the radio network, it is part of my job to help keep you connected and informed of what’s happening at the network. In this blog post, I’ll share with you how to make the most of your Catholic radio station—Spirit Catholic Radio.

Other ways to listen
In addition to tuning your radio dial to your local Spirit Catholic Radio station, there are two other ways to hear our programming. First, you can visit spiritcatholicradio.com and click “listen live.” This allows you to listen to the network’s programming in real time. It’s easy, free and requires no special software.

The other option for non-radio listening is to download our app for smartphones. We currently offer apps for both iPhone and Android operating systems. The instructions to download the apps can be found here. These apps are free and we hear from many listeners that they enjoy being able to continue listening to their favorite programs after they get out of their vehicles. Connect your headphones and you have the perfect companion at your desk, home or even the gym.

Radio Halos
What is a Radio Halo? It’s a clever name for our bi-monthly e-newsletter. If you’re not already receiving our Radio Halos, getting on our list is a must. Each edition is packed with valuable information for our listeners. Occasionally we’ll even feature special offers from our business underwriters. If you’d like to receive Radio Halos, click here. And don’t worry—we never share e-mail addresses with third parties. We don’t like spam and we know our listeners don’t appreciate it either.

Social Media
Spirit Catholic Radio is no exception to the many organizations using social media to stay connected with their audience. One of the most fun components of my job here at the radio network is being able to interact with our listeners through Facebook and Twitter.

The Spirit Catholic Radio Facebook page (found here) is an interactive community of listeners. The page features updates about programming including what is coming up on our Spirit Mornings show; news that affects listeners; inspiration for your daily life; and of course, a bit of humor. We also run occasional Facebook contests and promotions. “Like” us to stay in-the-know.

For those of you who love to tweet, follow Spirit Catholic Radio on Twitter! You can expect daily Scripture tweets as well as retweets from Pope Francis. We also share news and information. Twitter not your thing? You can still read what we post on Twitter by viewing our feed toward the bottom of our homepage at spiritcatholicradio.com. And, if you tweet us, we’ll tweet you back!

If you have any questions about these or any other means of staying connected to Spirit Catholic Radio, I'm happy to chat with you. Simply e-mail me here or call 855-571-0200.
