Great Plains Christian Radio Adds Additional Coverage

Great Plains Christian Radio (GPCR) will expand its footprint across Northwest Kansas and Eastern Colorado through the acquisition of 14 former Praise Network stations.  In April this year GPCR filed a $250,000 deal to buy nine stations and five FM translators from The Praise Network based in O’Neill, NE. 

Beginning June 1st, the newly acquired stations will feature the Contemporary Christian music programming of KJIL/Meade, KS.  The new stations include KPRD/Hays, KS (88.9) as well as KGCR/Colby, KS (107.7) 

Additional stations for KJIL:
89.3 FM – Hill City, KS
91.1 FM – Phillipsburg, KS
89.3 FM – Smith Center, KS
89.1 FM – Cheyenne Wells, CO
90.3 FM – Wray Colorado

Also GPCR sister station KHYM/Copeland, KS will expand its inspirational music and teaching programs.

New stations for KHYM:
88.1 FM – Colby, Oakley, KS
90.7 FM – Sharon Springs, KS
88.5 FM – Cheyenne Wells, CO
89.5 FM – Wray CO

“We’re grateful for the opportunity to continue the legacy of these stations while serving new listeners,” said Great Plains Christian Radio CEO Michael Luskey. “It’s amazing to see what God has done with one FM signal in 1992 to where He has taken it today with a total of 64 signals.  No one but the Lord had that plan some 40 years ago.  I can’t wit to see what’s next.”

Great Plains Christian Radio began as a grassroots effort in southwest Kansas. In 1992, KJIL first signed on the air with Christian music and teaching on a single signal. Over the past three decades, the ministry has grown significantly, adding the inspirational format of KHYM in 1997 and expanding both networks to reach listeners across Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and Colorado.
