RADIO

"TV gives everyone an image, but radio gives birth to a million images in a million brains."
Peggy Noonan
"Radio affects most intimately, person-to-person, offering a world of unspoken communication between writer-speaker and the listener."
Marshall McLuhan
"I prefer radio to TV because the pictures are better."
Alistair Cooke, BBC

A Fridge is cool, and keeps things fresh and good – like Middleton’s radio station, The Fridge.

Inspired by Philippians 4:8, The Fridge aims to play things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent and praiseworthy.  We’ve been on air for seven years.

The Fridge broadcasts on FM in eight towns and cities around New Zealand, playing a mix of Christian and uplifting secular music, with news, interviews, Scripture, prayer, teaching, and no ads.  There are currently 80 students hosting shows on air, and you can hear The Fridge 24/7 in Christchurch on 88.3FM as well as online: www.thefridge.net.nz 

Middleton’s second radio station is The Bible FM, on air in five towns and cities including Christchurch 88.0FM.  Listeners can hear the entire New Testament read by our students.  

We’re grateful for professional equipment and the support of the broadcasting industry and many churches and organisations.
