Religious Broadcasting in the United States
The most prominent religion on the radio in the United States is Christianity, particularly the evangelical sect. It has changed since its inception with a growing audience and different regulations. The audience for Christian radio has grown in the past twenty years and has a dispersed audience throughout the U.S... The Moody Bible Institute was the first religious organization to use satellite radio to reach a larger audience than before. The Moody Bible Institute was also one of the first religious broadcasting networks to receive a non-commercial educational FM license from the FCC allowing them the opportunity to open other stations. Religious broadcasting in the United States is mainly the province of local or regional networks which produce programming relevant to their community and is usually heard on stations holding non-commercial educational broadcast licenses. Although religious radio began as locally owned, because of the deregulations in the 1996 Telecommunications act it has become more consolidated with local affiliates under a national radio company. Several national networks do exist, which include;

Air1 (secondary network from K-LOVE) EWTN Radio Family Radio K-LOVE Relevant Radio Salem Radio Network VCY America

Religious Broadcasting in Europe
Europe's future of religious broadcasting is lying in its unity, a unity that is built on economic presuppositions and not surrounded by other topics such as ethics, philosophy, and culture. Over the past couple of years, the process of unification has accelerated which resulted in major improvement since it has first been introduced. Unification has been on the right track because of economic incentives, something that convinces or encourages one to do something. One of the biggest challenges for religious broadcasting in all of Europe is to explain the story clearly so when they mention the Incarnation, it must be taken seriously. There will be some generations that will necessarily not need the explanation of faith compared to the topics where people will need to know the meaning of human life. Christian broadcasters can be satisfied when they mention briefly or distribute explicit Christian topics. When it comes to religious broadcasting, Europe has two futures to consider such as commercial and public where on the other hand religion has three futures (a commercial, service one, and the one that we have no control at all). The elements that are still missing to fulfill religious broadcasting in Europe is an addition of interest and capital towards Church leaders and believers as well as realism and modesty so believers can know what goes on around them. Each country has their own aspect of religious broadcasting.

Religious broadcasting is very important in the life of the Church than the whole majority of Church leaders would realize immediately. There is a wide span of the diversity of numerous practices about religious broadcasting. For example, the Netherlands, along with their four religious broadcasting associations will benefit many communicators and their viewership will expand based on the promotion of their programs. The Catholic Church, in Portugal, owns a popular radio station and they're wishing to play a considering role by spreading their word on television and expand viewership. The diversity in Europe will continue to thrive and won't be affected by any other obstacles that will prevent it. Broadcasting will be at the inner core of Europe. TV and radio will be accompanied by this process as well as greenlighting change and promoting diversity. The role of religion in the timeline since Europe has been divided became very ambiguous which later on ties between religion and secular power became so strong that there were movements of change and renewal had automatically turned anti-religious. There has been suspicion of science by a religious establishment and that ended up with a breakup between the scientific and religious communities. Later on, it became even worse leading up to the religious forces ended up with no backup and became defenseless. In the end, they were defeated and humiliated by the public as slowly churches became empty, less and fewer people were attending and religious institutions became abandoned.

Meaning of Religious Broadcasting
Religious broadcasting is broadcasting by religious organizations, usually with a religious message. Many religious organizations have long recorded content such as sermons and lectures, and have moved into distributing content on their Internet websites.[1]

While this article emphasizes dedicated religious broadcasters, many non-dedicated stations transmit religious programs; a state with no religious station may broadcast much religious programming. By percentage, 42 percent of non-commercial radio stations currently have a religious format where on the other hand about 80 percent of the 2,400 Christian radio stations and 100 full-power Christian TV stations throughout the entire United States are considered non-profit |url=https://transition.fcc.gov/osp/inc-report/INoC-11-Religious-Broadcasting.pdf}}

Religious broadcasting can be funded commercially or through some sort of public broadcasting-style arrangement (religious broadcasters are often recognized as non-profit organizations). Donations from listeners and viewers, often tax-deductible, are solicited by some broadcasters.[2]
