II. Why do we need LOCAL CAROLINA CATHOLIC RADIO? Because it’s the LOCAL CONNECTION between EWTN , Your Parish and Community 12 important ways LOCAL CAROLINA CATHOLIC RADIO makes a difference in Parish and Community Life  CAROLINA CATHOLIC through the medium of Radio reaches beyond the pews and into the public square Research -- compiled from 2018 Nielsen Audio Today and 2017 Pew State of the News Media studies – shows radio is the leading “reach” platform. Studies show that 93% of people listened to AM/FM radio. This is higher than television viewing (88%), personal computer (50%), smartphone (83%) and tablet (37%.)  CAROLINA CATHOLIC unifies messages as 1 Diocese and 1 Oratory with 1 centralized platform instead of 100 separate parish information channels. This provides inter-parish communication which parish bulletins and Flock- note cannot provide. It lets people in neighboring parishes know about nearby events they may have interest in attending.  CAROLINA CATHOLIC showcases Parish/Diocesan Ministries and encourages engagement  CAROLINA CATHOLIC spotlights Parish/Diocesan Events to increase awareness, interest and attendance  CAROLINA CATHOLIC creates a 24/7 education and evangelization opportunity for our Local Clergy  CAROLINA CATHOLIC utilizes 7 media platforms for Local Carolinians to ask, seek, knock and to be fed  CAROLINA CATHOLIC promotes Value of Local Catholic Education and faculty/student engagement  CAROLINA CATHOLIC will broadcast Catholic High School Sports Reports and Play by Play beginning in 2021  CAROLINA CATHOLIC creates Forums for Young Catholics to get and stay involved thru their teen years  CAROLINA CATHOLIC provides an ongoing Diocesan Word of God Bible Distribution Fundraising program  CAROLINA CATHOLIC sponsors Catholic Movie Nights like UNPLANNED/FAUSTINA in theatres & parishes  CAROLINA CATHOLIC sponsors Catholic Music Nights with Adult (Chorale/Sems/Sisters) and Youth Groups
