KTYM

What KTYM does

KTYM Media, operated by Miracle Production Company, is a privately held Christ-centered internet radio and streaming video company headquartered in Inglewood, California. It operates three core stations: KTYMgospel.net (24/7 internet Gospel radio featuring classic and contemporary Gospel music and ministry programming), Stax of Gold (24/7 internet R&B/Jazz radio), and KTYM TV (24/7 streaming video and live podcast studio featuring inspirational and educational talk shows). The platform serves two primary customer segments: content creators and ministries who purchase airtime to broadcast their own programming, and faith-based listeners who consume Gospel, R&B, Jazz, and inspirational content on demand. The company also sells commercial advertising spots on its stations to local and regional advertisers targeting the Los Angeles Gospel community.

The business monetizes through three streams: recurring monthly airtime subscriptions for content creators (ranging from $75/month for 15 minutes per week to $1,200/month for 7-day weekly broadcasts), pay-as-you-go and monthly advertising spot packages ($15-$25 per spot or $350-$550 per 30-day package), and hourly editing/production services ($20/hour). GTM is predominantly direct-to-consumer via the ktym.media website with phone- and email-based sales (310-672-3700 / [email protected]) for airtime and advertising inquiries. Distribution reaches a global online audience through TuneIn Radio apps (including TuneIn Pro and TuneIn Premium), YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Spotify, in addition to direct website streaming.

KTYM originated as terrestrial Gospel radio on 1460 AM in Los Angeles beginning in 1958 and was led at the time of available data by CEO Reverend Thomas Blackwell. The company transitioned from AM radio to 24/7 online programming in 2016, expanded to 24/7 streaming video at the same time, and added TuneIn mobile distribution and a redesigned website in 2019. The operation runs with a lean team of approximately six employees and has no disclosed external funding, acquisitions, or AI/ML capabilities.
