2010 Advertising Media Kit

The Company
ZIONFM is wholly owned and operated by ZION Media Group, Inc. A privately held
Washington State-based company. ZION Media Group was founded in 2005 as a broadcast
media imaging, marketing and production company by Jeremiah St. James. In late 2009, the
company officially launched its pride & joy, ZIONFM. Although privately held, ZMG does
accept proposals from private investors who are interested in becoming a part of the
Christian music revolution.

The Station
Our brand is so unique to the Christian music world, we like to say that we are a new
breed of Faith-based entertainment. ZIONFM does not consider itself in competition with
other Christian stations in the marketplace, but rather a direct competitor of secular Top40
radio. Our format and brand is designed to sound, look and act exactly like a secular hit
station. We maintain all of the fun of a hit music station without all of the filth. Although we
are most definitely more edgy and on the line, we always remain 100% family friendly. Our
goal was never to only serve Christian music fans, but to attract and spiritually engage non-
believers who may never turn to other Faith-based programming. We strike at the hart of
pop culture to attract an audience that truly needs the Word - and we do it in a fun, hip way!

A Letter From The Director
Welcome Friend. You have discovered a new revolution - a new breed
of ministry in the entertainment arts. This is the all new ZIONFM. We are
a Faith-based online radio station founded on Christian fundamentals.
We have created a modern, relevant, pop-culture brand and station that
holds strong to solid morals and ethics while maintaining all the energy,
fun and professionalism of the countryʼs leading secular FM brands!
Our team has developed the ZIONFM brand and broadcast
station to reach the masses in a culturally relevant, yet biblically based
way. Partnered with todayʼs hottest bands, artists and labels, we are
bringing energy, entertainment and the Word of God to a global
audience beautifully packaged in a hip and fun environment. Teenagers
to young adults to experienced professionals across our country are proud to claim ZIONFM as
their own!
As for production, there is absolutely no cookie cutting here. Our team of producers,
engineers, promotors, and sales executives have decades of experience in secular pop radio
and broadcasting from the biggest markets in the country. We have drawn together and
developed the ZIONFM brand to strike at the center point of todayʼs culture. We are able to
connect with teens to adults (16 to 39) in a way that traditional Christian radio has been unable
to do for decades.
Finally, our listeners (your customers) have a witnessing tool they are not ashamed of.
They donʼt turn down the volume out of embarrassment when their friends show up. They tell us
every day they crank us up loud and proud!
As a matter of fact, we have plans in development to bring ZIONFM physically to various
markets around the country in a way that no broadcast media outlet has ever done in the past.
Our team is constantly breaking ground on new ideas and avenues to reach this generation and
create a brand that is constantly in the forefront of their minds every day.
Our efforts over the last few years are not wholly self serving. As an advertiser on
ZIONFM or ZIONFM.net, you will be borrowing our popularity, branding and relationship we have
built with your consumer base. A partnership with ZIONFM signals our audience that you believe
in their lifestyle and more importantly, their Faith.
As you will see in this kit, our audience is comprised of broadcastingʼs most prized
audience (“P1”). We attract males & females age 16 to 39, with above-average household
incomes and premium consumer activity both in-store and online. Our team has the ability to
spotlight your brand/store/company both on the air and on our website for maximum top-of-mind
awareness.

Thank you and Iʼll see you on the other side of the radio,

Station Programming
ZIONFM has been years in the making for founder Jeremiah
St. James. Jeremiah and his team of producers, air talent,
engineers, designers and volunteers have labored countless hours
to develop what you now know, see and hear as ZIONFM.
The idea to launch a new type of modern Christian station
came when the team realized that there were not many other
stations out there willing to go to the edge and spotlight new, hip
and relevant music in the Christian music industry. We believe that
faith-based media can be, and should be, just as powerful as our
secular counterparts. This is the mission of our station, staff and
supporters; to become a power house with modern and relevant
Christian media and entertainment. It’s our goal to provide a positive
counterpart to secular media for
young and old alike, across the “Faith-based


country and around the world!
Christian music has come a
media can be,
long way the last few years. We and should be,
know this is the time to launch our
station and online community. We’re just as powerful
excited to see where God will take
our station, the Christian music as our secular
industry and all our friends in the
near future!
counterparts”
As a Christian CHR, music rules the airwaves in our studio.
We focus every hour on spotlighting modern, new music from
various genres of the Christian music industry. Listeners get a taste
of Pop, Rock, Hip-Hop, R&B, Contemporary, Worship and more
every day.
In addition to modern music, listeners are provided with daily
music news updates from our Music News department. Their
segments feature stories and updates regarding artist careers,
personal lives and walk of Faith.
Our talent has been hand chosen based on their experience
in the broadcasting and music industry. They are each challenged to
consistently provide engaging, fun and entertaining on-air shifts to
maximize the value of our brand.
ZIONFM also connects with artists, management and
promoters throughout the year to bring concerts and events to our
audience as often as possible.
