To Our Broadcasting Friends

Jim Stover — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 18:14:36 +0000

As we rapidly approach the end of 2010, it’s the perfect time and season to say thank you to the men and women who play our fine family of artists on your radio station, satellite broadcast, or internet program. We’re grateful for you and the work you do, and we’re proud to partner with you in it. Thank you for your ever-faithful friendship and support!

Crossroads wishes you the very best for the coming year and always!

Sincerely,

Crossroads Invites Independent Artist to Their Radio Sampler

Ty Gilpin — Thu, 20 May 2010 17:43:32 +0000

As of January 2009, Crossroads has now implemented a download process through our web site in which DJ’s can easily download your single release via a secure web page. For our DJ friends who have not moved over to this technology, Crossroads will still make available an actual CD Sampler as we have in the past. This new process will enable us to deliver singles in a more timely fashion and provide any additional updated information quickly. As word grows of this new opportunity, we expect to see the number of outlets receiving our single releases to increase greatly over time. We have already seen DJ’s from Norway and South America sign up for this delivery system! This will be a great benefit to those who release with Crossroads. Jim Stover, director of radio here at Crossroads states, “After surveying a large block of broadcasters, we’re excited to be moving to digital delivery for our single releases. With this modern method of “shipping songs,” radio professionals across the country and around the globe now have instant, equal access to the Southern and Bluegrass Gospel music produced and distributed by Crossroads!”

Every month, Crossroads delivers new single releases on our top label artists, such as The Talley Trio, The Kingdom Heirs, Ivan Parker, The Inspirations, Mark Bishop, Lauren Talley, The Kingsmen, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, The Collingsworth Family, Janet Paschal and The McKameys (just to name a few!), and we offer slots monthly to Independent Artists interested in growing their ministries. Your single release if offered right next to today’s top charting Gospel Artists.

A flat fee of $600 is the price for having your single released with Crossroads. You can release multiple singels at appropriate intervals, usually every 4-6 months.

Crossroads is interested in helping you grow your ministry by exposing your work to a greater Christian community. Please email us by simply clicking on the email address below or call us at 828-684-3066 ext. 311.

Geron Davis wrote it, Tim Dill sings it, and he and his family lead us into worship with their hearty rendition of this huge song! (from The Story of a Lifetime CR09232)

Great music! Great message! Great chance for a radio hit! (from Double Portion CR09792)

Radio Download Site a Thumbs Up!

Jim Stover — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 17:23:07 +0000

When we launched the Crossroads Radio Distribution Services (CRDS) website at the beginning of 2009, we were setting sail in some uncharted waters. Thankfully, the deejay download service has proven to be a bonafide “radio hit,” with nearly 500 users and new sign-ups coming in every week!

A recent deejay message complimenting the service prompted me to go back and find a few of the many others we’ve received about it. You’ll find them below.

If you’re a deejay reading this, anywhere in the world, and you haven’t signed up to access our singles, please do that today! If you’re already a user, please tell your deejay friends about it!

And thanks for playing and supporting Crossroads music!

Sincerely, Jim Stover

Thanks for the great music you guys are offering on the dj download website.. It makes it very handy to get new releases and you always put such quality songs and artists on the site. Some throw in so many artists many of which are unworthy of airplay that you have to filter through them to pick the quality out. But yours is all quality and we appreciate that.
Thanks
Wes B., Oklahoma

Thank YOU for letting me know when new songs are available; the download thing is the only way to go, as far as I’m concerned.

Thanks to all. John Thompson

Michael Frost Appears On Cross Country Radio

Chris White — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 19:37:15 +0000

Pinnacle recording artist Michael Jason Frost was recently in the studio with Colleen Addair, programming director for WIVK 107.7 in Knoxville, TN. Colleen has been nominated by the Country Music Association for Personality of the Year on several occasions. She hosts two nationally syndicated programs with Classic Country USA and Songs of Faith. After hearing Frost’s new Pinnacle release by Crossroads, she said she felt compelled to have him in the studio for an on air interview, the first on her show for a southern gospel artist. ”I was so impressed by the vocals, production and songwriting, I felt compelled to feature several of the songs on the show”, stated Addair.

The new CD can be purchased at www.michaeljasonfrost.com or can be downloaded at crossroadsmusic.com as well. The project is also available at the Miracle Theatre in Pigeon Forge, TN. where Frost performs.
