WBTX and WNLR Partnership FAQs 

Answers to Some Questions:
 
What happened to WNLR 1150AM and New Life Ministries?
 
New Life Ministries is the parent 501(c)3 non-profit that owns and operates 1150AM.
 
On September 28,  2024, after much prayer and consideration, the Board of Directors of New Life Ministries determined to suspend on-air broadcast and streaming operations of New Life Radio WNLR 1150AM. This decision was due to an unexpected staff departure, outdated broadcast software and technology, and extremely limited options in regards to replacing the staff required for broadcasting. We did not close down due to financial reasons. 
 
This broadcast suspension was just that – a temporary suspension of on-air activity while the ministry continued under the care of the Board of Directors and active discernment and prayer to determine the next steps for New Life Ministries, New Life Radio and WNLR 1150AM.

What is the relationship between WBTX and SONshine Ministries?
 
WBTX Radio has been on the air in the Central Shenandoah Valley since 1972, broadcasting from their Broadway, VA studio.
 
SONshine Ministries was founded in 1985 and is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that provides financial support to WBTX. This support is given in the form of program sponsorships on WBTX, providing funds for Christian programming.  SONshine Ministries considers it a priority to have solid Biblical teaching available for listeners and donors.
 
Why is it good to expand the coverage area for each of the radio stations’ frequencies?
 
This is an easy question… well, of course we want to spread God’s Greatness and His Word as far as we are able!
Is this a permanent change?
 
This first step gets 1150AM  back on the air! In lay terms, WBTX is leasing the WNLR 1150AM  frequency and equipment at the station studio/transmitter site. We hope this will be a long lasting and permanent relationship that is fruitful for the Lord and reaches all who seek Him. Stay tuned for more in the coming months regarding updates to this new partnership.
 
How can I help?
Pray! We covet your prayers for WBTX, WNLR, New Life Ministries and SONshine Ministries and the staff.
 
Contribute financially to SONshine Ministries.  Expenses for day-to-day operations with the 1150AM signal continue to need financial support. This  includes the mortgage on the station studio/transmitter building, electricity, equipment, building maintenance, music licensing fees, FCC fees, insurance, utilities, taxes and more.
