Abstract

Radio attracted the interest of the Catholic Church from the beginning due to its potential as a universal communications medium for propagating religious content and spreading the message of the gospel. This article deals with the study and analysis of Spanish Catholic radio stations (COPE, Radio Santa Maria de Toledo, Radio Estel of Barcelona and Radio Maria), focusing on the content included in their programming schedules and the strategies employed to make these broadcasts succeed and remain on the air.

Keywords: Religious information, Catholic radio, radio broadcasting, religious emissions, evangelization
