Moody Radio

What Moody Radio does

Moody Radio is a Christian radio network and ministry of Moody Bible Institute, broadcasting biblical teaching, preaching, talk programs, call-in shows, and worship music across more than 30 FM stations and AM affiliates in over 20 U.S. states. The network serves general Christian audiences seeking biblical worldview content and Spanish-speaking Christians through Radio Moody (radiomoody.org). Programming is delivered through multiple specialty channels — the main Moody Radio Network, Majesty Radio, The Praise & Worship Channel, Urban Praise, and Spanish-language Radio Moody — supported by on-demand podcasts including Bold Steps with Dr. Mark Jobe, Quiet Time with Dr. Ron Sauer, Snapshot Testimony, and the Quiet Revival Podcast.

The network's technology stack combines traditional FM/AM broadcast infrastructure with digital distribution: TuneIn streaming for global online access, dedicated iOS and Android mobile applications, Amazon Alexa voice integration via TuneIn for smart-speaker listening, satellite radio distribution, and podcast syndication on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and RSS. This multi-platform architecture allows the same content library to reach listeners across broadcast, mobile, and voice surfaces.

Moody Radio is a nonprofit, listener-supported ministry headquartered at 820 N. LaSalle Blvd. in Chicago, Illinois. Revenue is generated primarily through voluntary listener donations and corporate program underwriting (e.g., Medi-Share, Fellowship Home Loans), with all content provided free of charge to listeners. The organization is led by Dr. Mark Jobe, President of Moody Bible Institute. In 2025, the launch of Moody Global Media as a new organizational division folded Moody Radio into a broader content strategy alongside Moody Bible Institute, Moody Publishers, Moody Conferences, and Today in the Word, coinciding with the centennial of Moody Radio's founding.

• Salem Communications / Salem Media Group: Operates a large portfolio of Christian and conservative-talk radio stations across the U.S. as a public company. Comparable as a major commercial operator of religious-format radio stations, though broader in portfolio (including news/talk).
