Brantford, Ontario, September 1, 2020 – The radio station began its journey in 2002 from an antenna located at a church steeple. Since that time, it had gone through an ownership change before Evanov acquired it in 2017, moved it in with its other two Branford stations and rebranded it Arise Radio. One of the most common complaints over the years, both from listeners and advertisers, has been the lack of portability of the station due to the limited signal. This is about to change dramatically as the New Arise Christian Radio moves to AM1380. The 1380 frequency is one of the biggest in Canada. Originating in Brantford, coverage covers Hamilton to Kitchener to London to Niagara to Brampton and all other regions in between!
Arise Christian Radio AM 1380 combines news, music and spoken word to attract listeners of all ages and backgrounds. From a live morning show program hosted by Richard Huskisson, mid-days with Mini Moore, afternoon with John Tesh, to scripture themed spoken word programs and regular newscasts, the station is of interest to the secular and spiritual community alike. The overall sound is one of inspirational messages of hope and uplifting Christian music. Featured international artists include Lauren Daigle, Jeremy Camp, Hillsong United, MercyMe, TobyMac, Casting Crowns, Chris Tomlin, Amanda Cook, Ryan Stevenson, Kari Jobe, Newsboys, Elevation Worship. Canadian artists such as Matt Maher, Dan Bremnes, Brooke Nicholls, Rob Berg, The City Harmonic make the station’s sound uniquely Canadian.
Kristina Evanov, Special Projects Director of parent company Evanov Communications Inc. (ECI) said: “We are very enthusiastic about broadcasting this unique format to a wider audience and reach over 40% of Ontario’s population. We are privileged to operate the station that provides the community with a message of hope and the Christian perspective, along with excellent music, spoken word and personable on-air announcers.” ECI also operates the other two Brantford sister stations, namely, Jewel 92 and Hot Country 93.9.
