Christian Music Radio outlets mirror Commercial Radio in many ways, and music in a variety of different Genre s is available. Many stations play primarily Gospel Music or Worship Music , while others play all formats of Contemporary Christian Music including Rock And Roll , Pop , Rap , Country , and Alternative . Many artists within the Christian Music Industry criticize Christian radio for only playing "safe" music, and not taking enough chances on new artists or, in some cases, older artists, that may not be as appealing to the largely conservative Gospel Music Association . Many Christian radio stations have a mission to encourage their listeners in their faith through encouraging music and teaching, and through supporting ministry events within their listening area. Popular artists on Christian radio include Third Day , Michael W. Smith , Amy Grant , Mercy Me , Steven Curtis Chapman , Carman , Sandi Patty , Relient K , and Switchfoot . Most Christian radio stations as well as programmers are members of the National Religious Broadcasters organization. There are reportedly 1,600 different Christian broadcasting organizations in the United States , ranging from single stations to expansive networks. It is a common practice for religious broadcasters to purchase many small Broadcast Translator s to create large networks that stretch across large regions. A notable, but not unique (except in its longevity), example of Christian Radio Drama is '' Unshackled! ''. An example of an inspirational program is '' Moments Of Melody '' {Link without Title} .
