From Permit to Station,
We've got a plan for you
!

 

 

The Catholic Radio Association has launched its new Engineering Project Management Service to assist you, its members, in building your new NCE Station(s)!
 

You began this ambitious process of acquiring a permit and starting a new radio station for one reason, to bring the saving gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, and the truths of His Holy Catholic Church to the world. You’ve answered the call God has placed in your heart to be a part of Pope John Paul II’s proclaimed “New Evangelization”. We know this drives you because it’s what drives us too!

For years, we’ve been helping others like you across the country progress through the process from Construction Permit to station, with great success. Over the past 10 years we’ve been instrumental in helping  Catholic Radio grow to 153+ stations, at  an average rate of one new station per month. We know what it takes to make it happen! From our FM spectrum engineering, which produced your permit, to our “Complete Evaluation” to our “Engineering Project Management”, we are the best at what we do and we’ll walk with you and work for you every step of the way.


 

Complete Evaluation

You’re probably concerned about how much it will cost and what it’s going to take to get your station on the air. Price? Equipment? Timeline? Permits? Information? With our Complete Evaluation we’ll give you peace of mind by answering all of these questions for you, and even more, we’ll give you access to our preferred providers ensuring value and affordability. The Complete Evaluation includes the following:

• A detailed list of equipment and pricing

• A project timeline with milestones and anticipated costs

• A schematic of recommended equipment/wiring architecture for your proposed station

All of the information you will need to make an informed decision and to get started will be provided to you at a member’s-only fee of $495.

Call today for your Complete Evaluation, (972) 514-2209.
 

 
Doug Pearson, Director of Engineering Services

 Doug Pearson is a convert to Catholicism who attributes the lion’s share of his conversion to Catholic Radio. Doug was a Radio Technician in the United States Marine Corps for ten years.

Upon his honorable separation from active duty he worked for a telecommunications company until 2000 when he came into the Church and began working in Catholic Radio. Doug cut his teeth in Catholic Radio by helping Immaculate Heart Radio take over AM radio stations and get Catholic Radio on the air in cities throughout Central California.  IHR began buying and building FM stations and Doug became involved in building a network of stations and translators to cover the greater population and geography of New Mexico.

Doug then moved his wife and seven children to Texas to work with the Guadalupe Radio Network as their Director of Radio Operations. GRN had just brought Catholic Radio to the Big D... Doing things bigger in Texas GRN had to have two stations in Dallas; 1 for English and 1 for Spanish. Doug assisted the GRN in setting up their  network uplink, building studios and revamping the fail-safe systems. He is looking forward to continuing to help GRN GROW!

Doug is now the Director of Engineering Services with the CRA. He focuses on assisting new entrants into Catholic Radio to build their recently awarded NCE stations. Doug also assists new entrants into Catholic radio who have recently purchased a station.

 

Testimonies: Radio Station Owners

Mr. Pearson has been instrumental over the past three years, across multiple collaborative efforts with our apostolate, in helping us develop our NCE Construction  Permit into an operating station.  We are nearing the completion of this process and have saved significant time, effort, and funds as a result of his expert advice.  Doug is efficient and knowledgeable, his dedication to sharing God's Word through Catholic Radio is truly an inspiration!"
