OVERLAND PARK, Kan., June 7th, 2006 — Bott Radio Network (BRN) announces the launch of a brand new Christian talk radio station—“Branson’s Christian Voice”—KBCV-AM 1570. BRN will expand its service in Branson on Monday, June 12, at 12:00 Noon with a special sign-on dedication broadcast.
The launch of AM 1570 in Branson represents another milestone in BRN’s expansion plan to serve families throughout Southwest Missouri with Quality Bible Teaching and Christian News and Information. This new 24-hour signal will add to Bott Radio Network’s existing signal, 103.9 FM in Branson, launched in October 2005. BRN’s coverage now serves the Ozarks from Springfield to Harrison and beyond on 90.1 FM in Springfield, 104.5 FM in Rockaway Beach, 92.3 FM in Lebanon, 94.1 FM in Hermitage, 107.3 FM in Monett, and 103.9 FM and AM 1570 in Branson.
With headquarters in Kansas City, Bott Radio Network is recognized as a national leader in Christian broadcasting. “For more than forty years, Bott Radio Network has featured America’s finest Bible teachers and Christian news and information programs to help people grow in the Lord and apply their faith in their daily lives,” says BRN Executive Vice President Rich Bott, “Bott Radio Network stretches from Fresno to Ft. Wayne, with a focus on the heartland.”
BRN’s programming consists of some of the nation’s most recognizable Christian and conservative talk show personalities including Dr. James Dobson of Focus On The Family—one of the top 3 radio programs in the nation; Dr. Richard Land of For Faith & Family—a broadcast that originates from the Southern Baptist headquarters; attorney and judicial advocate Jay Sekulow of Jay Sekulow Live; Rev. Billy Graham, Chuck Swindoll, Charles Stanley and many other national Christian leaders also contribute programming to the network. In Time magazine’s February 7th, 2005 issue, several of BRN’s talk show hosts were named in the top 25 of the nation’s most influential evangelicals.
Local businesses will find a good audience for their advertising needs, says Regional Manager, Monna Stafford. “With Bott Radio Network, advertisers have the ability to target their local market, a regional or statewide market, or our entire network with their message. They also have the opportunity to reach the more than seven million visitors who come to the Branson area each year. The growing hunger for spiritual meaning in the world today means more and more people are tuning in to the programs heard on BRN for answers to life’s most difficult questions.”

This new station in Branson will help more people to both grow in their faith and to know what’s happening in the world around them.”
