KDJM is a 15,500-watt station that will cover all of Salina which is the diocesan seat for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Salina. (Diocesan seat means where the Bishop for the diocese resides.) KDJM has the potential of reaching 81,570 individuals.
“We’re excited to expand Catholic radio to the Salina area,” Donetta Robben, executive director of Divine Mercy Radio, said. “Radio is a wonderful opportunity to evangelize and to reach people individually and privately.”
The license transfer will take place in December, with Divine Mercy Radio, Inc. broadcasting on KDJM after January 1. Divine Mercy Radio is a nonprofit corporation and has filed with the FCC to make KDJM a non-commercial, educational station. Divine Mercy Radio will run KDJM from their Hays studio.
Divine Mercy Radio, Inc. owns KVDM-FM, 88.1, Hays and KRTT-FM, 88.1 Great Bend. They mostly broadcast programing from the radio branch of the Eternal Word Television Network.
