ChristianFM Media Presents: “Bandkind” Holiday Radio Special

This holiday season, ChristianFM Media/SmartRadio Suite is excited to offer a one-of-a-kind, six-week Christmas special to support local radio stations as they gear up for Christmas! Bandkind is a vibrant, artist-driven show hosted by veteran broadcaster Nik Curtis Beal, bringing stations a unique blend of Christmas cheer, compelling artist interviews, and faith-based holiday favorites that increase each week to match the season’s spirit.

Geoff Moore, National Affiliations Director for ChristianFM Media, says “Bandkind is a gift we’re proud to share with our radio family, offering two hours each week of quality, sponsor-ready programming that engages listeners and adds tremendous value for stations and… it’s complementary!”

Nik Curtis Beal, known for her authentic voice and deep roots in Christian radio and music, brings a wealth of experience to Bandkind. From her beginnings on CB radio to her current work reaching over a million listeners weekly, Nik’s blend of Montana grit and community-centered spirit makes Bandkind’s holiday show the perfect fit for Christmas. Each week features new and exclusive interviews with top CCM artists, along with favorite holiday songs and fun Christmas trivia, giving stations fresh and inspiring content as they journey through the season.

Key Details for this special edition:

• Schedule: Six weekly shows, starting Thanksgiving weekend (Nov 28-30) and airing through the New Year (Jan 3-5). Perfect for your weekends!!
• Show Format: Each two-hour episode includes interviews, holiday trivia, and increasing levels of Christmas music leading up to 100% holiday favorites by Dec 20-22.
• Sponsorship Ready: Stations are encouraged to find local sponsors, allowing businesses to “own” the show and connect with listeners during the season.
• Flexible Air Dates: Each show is available via FTP or Dropbox, and stations can schedule broadcasts on multiple days (e.g., Saturday morning and Sunday evening) to best serve their audience.
• Promotional Support: Each week comes with a 30-second radio promo that stations can customize, along with optional video promos for social media.

“We know how important the year-end season is for local stations,” Moore adds. “Bandkind is designed not only to uplift listeners but also to help stations engage sponsors and build community. It’s our way of saying thank you for all you do.”
