A 2-hour syndicated retro CCM radio show featuring great music from:
--the 70's and the Jesus Movement, the start of Contemporary Christian Music
--the 80's and the transition to professional Contemporary Christian Music (CCM), adopting glossy, radio-friendly pop and synth-rock production to target a wider, mainstream audience.
--the 90's when CCM broke out of its polished pop bubble by embracing the alternative rock, grunge, hip-hop, and urban R&B sounds dominating the mainstream charts. This sonic evolution allowed CCM artists to achieve unprecedented crossover success on secular radio, transforming the genre into a multi-platinum commercial powerhouse.
--the early 00's when CCM shifted away from radio-slick pop to embrace a raw, guitar-driven modern rock sound heavily influenced by post-grunge and indie music. Simultaneously, the industry experienced a massive structural pivot as the focus moved from individual superstar artists toward corporate "Praise and Worship" music designed for congregational singing.
While the show's main focus is CCM music from the 1990's, it delves into great CCM music from each decade, all the way from the 2nd Chapter of Acts and Keith Green, to Chris Tomlin and Casting Crowns!
