Blended Sounds...Urban Gospel and Contemporary Christian Radio

It amazes me that in 2009 it is virtually impossible to find a radio station that plays Contemporary Christian and Urban Gospel Music. I believe it would take the message of Christ to another level to have a lifestyle station that played the likes of Sho Baraka with Jeremy Camp, Toby Mac and Third Day! Why haven't we met in the middle? We have Contemporary Christian Stations and Traditional Gospel Stations but nothing in between. It's time to evolve and blend the sound because I don't know many people that exclusively listen to one genre of music. As people become more tolarant and seek for understanding and unity, we become more open to diverse sounds. It's taken on in mainstream radio; a progam may play Kanye West, followed by Chris Daughtry, then Mary J. Blige, then Brittney Spears. Hopefully, radio executives will give it a shot, but until then I'll continue to blog about it.
