.
Salary Survey

They are also announcing the new MOMENTUM '09 event that is a Christian Music Radio specific event that will feature the ECHO Awards! For current education sessions, see the events page.

Streaming Benefit
–
CMB members are eligible for a discounted streaming package through our partnership with Barnabas Road media. Our stations have found it to be very beneficial. It is a cost effective way for stations to be able to have the streaming they want and need!
Customizable Image Piece
–
Through a partnership with Storytelling Pictures and WCSG, we have a television ready commercial and image piece that stations can use for their markets. This high quality video/dvd tells about Christian music radio through a story type approach instead of a direct artist approach. It’s message (called A VOICE YOU CAN TRUST) is one that our audience embraces. This piece would cost $20,000 to produce yourself, but for members, we are offering it to you for a significantly reduced price!
Research
– We have been involved in several research projects for radio and have more planned for the future. This research is free to CMB members. We also have a new agreement with Troy Research for discounted packages for the music research you want and need. (Contact Linda Meyers for pricing.)
We are currently planning and negotiating for other benefits, including music research for Christian radio, marketing projects, mentoring programs, ministry campaigns, specialized CMB members only programming, and more.
Our goal is to help point the spotlight of public and industry attention toward Christian music radio. We have a product that the public actually wants--they just don't know it yet! Your membership in CMB will help get the word out and will help raise the bar for all Christian music radio stations.
So, what will it cost me?
