Christian radio Lighthouse FM plans to introduce the period of the Olympic Games with a real fireworks display on its airwaves. On the one hand, by the number of athletes and sports professionals to whom the presenters will give the microphone and on the other hand, by presenting a bouquet of initiatives from local associations and churches involved in social actions, cultural events and neighborhood sports gatherings during the summer. Around fifty shows in all, not counting the music. The broadcasts will be broadcast live from the Maison du Protestantisme in Paris from July 22 to 26 from 6:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., a press release informs.
Other interventions will focus on themes such as success, mental health and stress management or what it means to be the parent, spouse of a high-level athlete. At the same time, the “Living bus Phare FM”, a radio studio which will travel to the French capital, aims to be a place of life and to meet listeners. “It is a real place for interaction, dialogue and commitment with, in particular, actors from the associative world and Churches in the Paris region,” specify the organizers. It is therefore designed as a space where conversations are encouraged over a drink.
Why Paris?
Lighthouse FM is a Christian radio station which broadcasts mainly in France, but also in Belgium and Switzerland. The focus set on the city of Paris is explained firstly by the aura of the Olympic Games, but also because this year, the radio has been broadcasting in the Paris region for ten years.
Another element and not the least: Lighthouse FM celebrates its 35th anniversary. “We’re celebrating more than just an anniversary: we’re reaffirming our commitment to lighting up the airwaves every day with inspiring music selections and content that speaks to everyone’s heart. This special week live from Paris is a window open to the world, an invitation to share moments of joy, reflection and unity, at the intersection of faith, culture and sport,” explains Nathanaël Chong, director of Lighthouse FM, in the press kit.
