Salt Creek Radio is a streaming radio station that focuses on the communities of Farmer City, Mansfield, & Bellflower. The purpose is to distribute information on all of the events happening in an effort to strengthen our communities.
Our Story
Curt Homann came up with the concept of a community radio station in the summer of 2022, while looking for a way to distribute local information for the people in the Blue Ridge school district in a post Journal/radio station environment. He brought the concept to Brent Cordes, but due to busy schedules, the concept sat until the spring of 2023. Kurt Bozarth was brought in and the station began to take form.
Many decisions were made for programming, software, equipment, responsibilities, branding, marketing, and even the name. Test programming began running in September and by late October, the final product was ready to be revealed. The first rendition of Salt Creek Radio is ready to serve the community.
Our Programming
With the goal of distributing information, the Community Calendar is the anchor of the station. All the who, what, when, where, and sometimes why will be streaming 12 times per day.
In addition, longer form recorded interviews will take place in the early morning along with interview shorts throughout the day. If it's going on in our communities, you will hear about it.
All of this is intertwined with an adult contemporary mix of music from the 1960's through the 2020's. Over 1,000 songs with no fluff. Decades of the best songs ever recorded that will have you singing along.
