Our coverage includes most of the state of Nebraska as well as Western Iowa. Our mission is simple. We want all people to encounter Jesus by transmitting the Gospel message over the radio airwaves. Programming heard on Spirit Catholic Radio is a mix of locally-produced shows and national Catholic radio programs from names you know and trust. Spirit Catholic Radio went on the air in Omaha in January 1999 with a weak signal, two employees, one volunteer, a small office, $750,000 in debt and a mission of evangelization. Today, the radio station continues to evangelize through its three studio locations in Omaha, Lincoln and Grand Island, a professional staff and nearly 300 volunteers in eastern, central and western Nebraska and western Iowa. Spirit Catholic Radio reaches over 94 percent of the state of Nebraska’s population with eight network signals, nine affiliate signals and the entire state through live online broadcasting and a free smartphone app. Spirit Catholic Radio is completely listener supported, has no annual deficit and continues to be a model for Catholic radio across the country.
