    • Abstract:
      This article discusses the rise and impact of the Educational Media Foundation (EMF), a nonprofit organization that operates Christian radio stations such as K-LOVE and Air1. EMF has grown rapidly by acquiring struggling Christian radio stations and has become the country's second-largest station owner. However, there are concerns about EMF's lack of diversity, its conservative values, and its influence on the local presence of radio. The article also explores the sound and genre of Christian music, which has evolved to cater to a suburban audience seeking uplifting and non-controversial songs. [Extracted from the article]
