What is Old Time Christian Radio?

The main goal of Old Time Christian Radio is to provide a place where people who want to hear Biblically sound music from the past can turn. Here, the term Old Fashioned is a compliment!

At OTCR, we try to bring you, our listener, the best of the past - Christian music artists such as Frank Boggs, The Haven of Rest Quartet, The White Sisters, Jack Holcomb, and George Beverly Shea, among many others. Many of these artists recorded for the Word Records label out of Waco, TX. Many of these recordings were from the years 1955-1975.

In addition, we feature good, old-time Southern style quartet music, such as the the Oak Ridge Quartet, Blackwood Brothers, the Florida Boys, the Gethsemane Quartet, the Inspirations, and The Klaudt Indian Family. We also feature one of the finest groups in old-time Gospel music history, the Chuck Wagon Gang, with several of their recordings from the 1960s, as well as more recent songs by the group.

You can also hear favorite artists such as Tennessee Ernie Ford, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, and Jim Nabors.

If it's good, Biblical music, you can hear it here! We play a unique blend of traditional Southern Gospel music, Sacred music, and hymns.

We are constantly adding songs and artists to our playlists. We feature many artists in addition to the ones listed above, both past and present. We also feature an "Artist of the Month".

Why OldTimeChristianRadio?

I believe that there is a need to remember. For example, we need to remember that over 2000 years ago, a Man named Jesus Christ lived on this earth. He was, and is, the Son of God. He was put to death on a cross, not for His sins, but for ours. He arose the third day to defeat the powers of sin, and give to those who trust Him eternal life. This is not only important, but also essential for eternal life. Certainly, worth remembering.

We also need to remember our Christian heritage. Part of that heritage includes music. For many years, hymn writers such as Fanny Crosby produced great songs that have been sung for decades. Unfortunately, many of these songs are no longer sung, or even played by today's Christian radio stations.

In addition, the 1940s through the 1960s brought about some of the greatest Gospel songs written and sung by old-time quartets from the South, sometimes referred to as "Southern Gospel Music".  It's easy to hear today's Southern Gospel, but what about these great old songs and groups from the past. It's our goal and purpose to keep this music  alive, and send forth the message of God's love and plan for our salvation presented through it.

For the reasons stated above, I felt lead to start an online radio station that would help fill what I considered was the need for the music I have mentioned. After two years of planning, researching, purchasing old LPs, digitally re-recording them, and preparing them for play, we signed on the air on Tuesday June 22, 2004.

My prayer is that this website will serve to help people to find the station and be a source of information. I hope you enjoy listening to Old Time Christian Radio.
