Madagascar World Voice Debuts

Madagascar World Voice is a $12 Million effort to construct a radio antenna on Madagascar. World Christian Broadcasting’s efforts to construct the antenna took a decade to succeed. Numerous factors including cyclones, vandalism, manufacturing delays, and economic downturns all contributed to the delayed completion of the project. Churches of Christ and individual Christian donors funded the project. The goal of constructing an antenna on Madagascar is to provide faith-based programming to people who would otherwise not be exposed to the Christian faith. Madagascar World Voice began broadcasting on March 27^th. It’s daily broadcast consists of 13 hours of content in Arabic, English, Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, and Russian. From its strategic position in Madagascar, the antenna is able to broadcast content to Africa, India, and the Middle East, in addition to most of the Americas and Europe. Combined with KNLS—a station in Alaska, which reaches Russia, China, and the Pacific Rim—World Christian Broadcasting reaches approximately 3 billion people.
