ON-AIR PROGRAMMING
ARE MANY ON-AIR PROGRAMMES AUTOMATED?
Sometimes it becomes necessary to advance record or automate some on-air programmes, due to unavailability of announcers. Most of our announcers are voluntary. Our overnight programming is also automated.
HOW MANY SONGS ARE ON YOUR REGULAR PLAYLIST?
There are around 2000 Christian music tracks on our playlist at any one time. In addition, there is a music vault of another several hundred songs from past playlists. Check out the link on our home page to view our current music playlist.
WHAT KIND OF MUSIC & PROGRAMMES DOES RHEMA FM PLAY?
All music and programmes on Rhema FM are 100% Christian. Secular music or programmes are not played at any time.

TECHNICAL
WHAT IS THE POWER OF RHEMA FM'S TRANSMISSION SIGNAL?
Rhema FM 94.9 transmits at 2,000 watts.
DOES RHEMA FM BROADCAST IN STEREO?
Yes – all programming is in stereo.
IS IT TRUE THAT SPONSORSHIP ANNOUNCEMENTS ARE BROADCAST LOUDER
THAN NORMAL MUSIC AND PROGRAMMING?
This is a misnomer in the media industry. Levels of music, spoken word programmes and sponsorship announcements at Rhema FM are the same and strictly controlled. Some music is louder than other music tracks and similarly, some sponsorship announcements appear louder in their varying presentations.
MY RECEPTION IS SCRATCHY. HOW CAN I IMPROVE IT? DO I NEED AN OUTSIDE AERIAL FOR FM SIGNALS?
First of all, make sure you have a good quality radio with reasonably powerful reception. The cheaper the radio, the more likely you will experience poor reception. FM signals travel in straight lines generally, while AM signals will follow contours. Therefore, it is important to have your radio and aerial in line with the transmission signal/tower. If you live in a valley or an area surrounded by hills, you could experience poor reception. An outside aerial could improve your reception dramatically.
