Automobiles and radio kind of grew up together. In 1930 many American families owned a car. That same year, about 40% owned a radio, but within a short decade radio ownership increased to 90%, surpassing car ownership and even indoor plumbing. In 1940 a radio could be purchased for $15, the price of a car was $850.

Radio towers and antennas began to appear as early as 1920 when commercial broadcasting began. Today we see radio and cell towers almost everywhere. A communication tower can range from $15,000 to more than $100,000. Building a commercial radio station can range from $150,000 to over ten million dollars. Thus you can see that broadcasting the Gospel involves a significant investment for LifeTalk Radio.

So here is a question: How many cars and radios has your family owned through the years? Things just don’t last forever. Ships, planes, trains, and automobiles, along with most everything else in this life break down, wear out or rust out, and need to be replaced from time to time.

Likely, none of the original 1920 radio towers still exist. Over the past century things have needed replacement. The same is true for LifeTalk. At the moment, we have a serious need to replace one of our radio antennas. The cost will be over $10,000 and we need your immediate help. Without good equipment it’s not possible to get the Good News to people needing to hear it.
