Verse of the Day
Bible Brain Twister
Bible Brain Twister by John Kezar
I once made a remark about the hidden books of the Bible. It was a lulu, kept people looking so hard for facts, and for others it was a
revelation. Some were in a jam, especially since the names of the books are not capitalized, but the truth finally struck home to
numbers of readers. To others it was a real job. We want it to be a most fascinating few minutes for you. Yes, there will be some really
easy ones to spot. Others may require judges to help them. I will quickly admit it usually takes a minister to find one of the 17, and
there will be loud lamentations when it is found. A little lady says she brews a cup of tea so she can concentrate better. See how well
you can compete. Relax now, for there really are the names of 17 books of the Bible in these sentences. (One preacher found 16 books
in twenty minutes. It took him three weeks to find the seventeenth one).

Agape Fest 2008!
Country Gospel and Christian Country music are now at the top of the many Christian music formats. Many of the hottest rising stars in this genre were at the King Country Agape Fest, May 29 through 31 in historic Jefferson, Texas. Radio CIA is proud to have been a sponsor for this fun-filled weekend of Christian music and fellowship, which included a talent contest for independent artists and the 2008 Fan Appreciation Awards show. We did a live remote broadcast from the Festival!

The Day The Music Died
The fight isn't over! The new Copyright Royalty Board rate hikes supported by SoundExchange insure that stations like Radio CIA will no longer be able to afford to stay on the air. Our licensing agency, LoudCity, says "it's not over 'til it's over" but right now things are NOT looking good. Even if you have already contacted your Congressmen and Senators, we urge you to do it again, today, and ask them to pass the Internet Radio Equality Act. For more information, contact SaveNetRadio.org

We've "adopted" a ten-man squad of US soldiers deployed to Iraq. Click here to see how you can help!
Increased Capacity!
With our new and improved programming lineup, we're getting more listeners who are staying longer. To insure that you're always able to connect to your favorite programs, we've increased the capacity of our Shoutcast server to allow more simultaneous listeners! We also highly recommend that you use WinAmp for the best enjoyment of our high-quality stream. Instructions are here.
A note on requests: Because we have so many new listeners, we tend to be extremely BUSY when working the console during a live show. If you'd like to make a request, please submit them via email to ciarequest@gmail.com and we'll get to them as soon as we possibly can. If we miss your song in the current show, we'll try to get to it in the next show. Please be aware that our license restrictions do not allow us to "instantly" play your request, there may be some delay.
New Program!
We’re very pleased to announce an addition to the lineup at Radio CIA.
Riverside Country, with host Jason Farris, is a syndicated, weekly 60 minute radio program featuring a rich blend of positive messages and great Christian Country & Country Gospel music, and Radio CIA is the FIRST Internet and USA affiliate! The program currently airs on several country FM stations in Canada.
The program features popular Inspirational Country hits from today and chart-toppers from the past, plus the latest Country Gospel news, requests and dedications, prizes, and more!

Also, once a month they count down the top hits in Christian Country music. Listen-in for a great time every Sunday at 2:30pm Central, right before He's Alive!, or for the 10pm Central time re-broadcast.
