About Us
88.7 TheBridge is WKNZ, listener supported, non-commercial radio. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit which makes your donations tax-deductible. (Please discuss all tax issues with a professional accountant.)
We are a licensed Christian radio station and are under construction with a yet-to-be-determined “air-date.” Our projected signal range will cover most of Delaware and also include much of the Maryland Eastern Shore and even reach over into Southern New Jersey.
Our situation on the FM dial at 88.7 means that this station must, by law, remain a non-profit, educational/informational broadcast station. The Federal Communications Commission maintains very specific and strict enforcement of radio stations at this location of the FM Band. This radio station is prohibited from selling traditional ‘advertising’ and will be largely listener-supported though business underwriting will aid in keeping ahead of budget goals. This frequency can NEVER be sold to a commercial, for-profit company by Federal Law.
Our format will be a hybrid mix of Music, Talk, News and Information. Our goal is to be entertaining to listeners while encouraging unity amongst Delmarva’s Christian population while being a source for strength to assist the listener’s daily walk with the Lord.
As radio has changed with the development of new technologies, we will be keeping an eye on the future of this broadcast medium and will work toward staying on the cutting edge of technology to keep the station useful and relevant in today’s culture. We currently utilize social networking tools such as Twitter and Facebook as a part of this effort.
This website is designed to be a one-stop location on the internet for the people of Delmarva. Everything from our Community Events Calendar to School Closings, Local and National News to Local Sports, we hope you will see that keeping this as your browser start-up page will not only encourage you but will help you start and finish your day.
This station exists because of the foresight of several Christian people and the willingness of a particular church to take a leap of faith in order to serve the people of Delmarva. This selfless act has occasionally been misrepresented by individuals but we wish to make one thing clear; 88.7 TheBridge is going to directly benefit every Christian from Sussex, Kent and most of New Castle Counties in Delaware as well as surrounding states while simultaneously, indirectly benefiting every Church Body and non-believers within and outside our signal’s range. If you have questions about our ownership or regarding how we plan to carry out our goals, please contact our General Manager at jmixon@887thebridge.com.
Thank you for your interest in 88.7 TheBridge!
