What are the benefits of hosting a program on Unity.FM?

There are many benefits to hosting a program on Unity.FM, including:

1. Leveraging the power of the Internet to fulfill your outreach goals and connect with an online audience unlimited by time and distance.
2. Expand your ministry through Internet "attendance" of your program. Your Web site will be highlighted during your live programs and in the archives, attracting a worldwide audience.
3. Access to technology. In addition to listening through computers, your program can also be accessed through other wireless applications such as iPods, mp3 players, cell phones, Internet radios and more.
4. The BEST reason to host a program? IT'S A WHOLE LOT OF FUN!

What type of commitment is required?

1. Hosts must commit to broadcasting one live program per week or can provide new prerecorded segments each week.
2. The one-hour weekly program will be scheduled at a mutually agreed-upon time slot.
3. Hosts receive a dedicated program page at www.unity.fm. This is where the program description, bio and program archives are featured.
4. Hosts are provided a dedicated group page at our online community. This is where hosts can enter into dialogue with listeners about upcoming or past episodes. 
5. Each episode will be replayed throughout the live programming schedule during the week it was originally aired.

How are programs promoted?

Unity.FM and the host will jointly promote the program.

• Unity.FM sends out a weekly program guide to listeners that highlights the program day, date, time and topic for the upcoming week
• The program will be listed on the daily schedule at www.unity.fm on the day of the program.
• The host’s program graphic will be featured at www.unity.fm one hour before and for the hour of the program’s broadcast.
• A professionally produced program promo will air throughout the live programming schedule and will include your program name, topic, day and time.

What equipment will I need?

It is possible to host a program on Unity.FM from anywhere in the world. All you need is a computer and an Internet connection. We require our hosts to establish a Skype account and purchase a headset with a USB connection for the computer. Each week, you will work with the Unity.FM engineer at our studio to produce live, interactive programming, complete with call-in capabilities and live online interactions.

A free Instant Messenger account (such as through Yahoo or MSN) is needed to stay in communication with the engineer while your program is broadcasting live. This way, you can send and receive messages about callers, timing, special guests and other important information. You will be able to communicate via the digital connection as well.

How is funding provided?

Funding for Unity.FM is provided by the tithes and love offerings of our listeners and the support of our Unity.FM hosts.

If you are the leader of a ministry, we invite you to prayerfully talk with your board to determine the level to which you would like to support the Unity.FM radio network. Your tithes or love offerings will constitute the underwriting for your program.

If you are not a Unity minister or licensed Unity teacher, we have established a reasonable pricing structure to help Unity off-set the costs associated with the production and marketing of your program. Please contact us here to learn more.

What type of programming do you offer?

Programs are accepted and scheduled based on the following:

1. Area of focus. Programs that serve a specific niche for spiritual seekers and Unity students. For example, topics such as Spiritual Parenting, Interpreting the Bible, Unity for Singles, etc., would be given preference over a more generic format.
2. Quality of Programming. Programs that complement the teachings of Unity and support the Unity.FM outreach ministry. Hosts who will help us spread the word about living an abundant, blessed, positive and practical life to our global audience will be given preference.

If you have an idea for a new program, please review the process for becoming a host and if you’re interested in becoming a host, complete our application. Upon receipt, your application will be reviewed by the Unity.FM review board before final approval is given.
