Now Available: Free Apps for Radio CorMariae!!!
Update: iOS (iPhone & iPad) version now available
"An increasing amount of listeners are turning to their Smartphones and Tablets when it comes to checking out their favorite internet or terrestrial radio station. There are many radio streaming Apps available today on the market (generic players, directories etc.) but these can carry thousands of other stations: why not have a customized App just for your station alone...?" (Viastreaming.com/mobile).
We are very pleased to make these Apps available to our listeners! We want it to be easy for them to connect to the live stream of the radio wherever they are, that is, wherever they bring their smartphone.
On the main tab of the app is the play/pause control for the audio streaming with volume control. At the top of this screen is the current program title and its scheduled time. The other screens, easily accessible via buttons at the bottom, are the Facebook and Twitter pages of the station, the station's website (mobile friendly pages), and a contact page. So now it is so easy to post on Facebook or Twitter while listening to a program on the radio. The best part of the App is the beautiful image -- an image focusing on Our Lady's Immaculate Heart with Jesus and Mary looking on it from each side.

Why Catholic and Marian Radio?
by Fr. Louis Maximilian M. Smith, F. I.
The past decade has witnessed a phenomenal growth in Catholic Radio in the United States: whereas only seven Catholic radio stations were in operation just over a decade ago, that number has skyrocketed to over 185 in the present day. Adding its presence to this growing list is Radio CorMariae, 88.5 FM, WPMW Bayview-New Bedford, Massachusetts. Radio CorMariae marked its official launch on March 25, 2011, the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord. |

Radio CorMariae fires up their Antenna |

Ave Maria!
Yesterday, 16 December 2010, was the unofficial birthday of Radio CorMariae. At around 5:30pm we jerry-rigged the newly installed antenna line, connected it up to the transmitter, and fired up the radio station for the first time. It was an incredibly joyful event as this was the culmination of over 2 years of hard work by a huge team of volunteers to get this radio station up and running – and we, the privileged few, got to enjoy the fruit of all that hard work – if only for a brief period of time.
Don’t get excited and tune in your radio to 88.5 FM yet! This was only our first test transmission and there is still a lot of technical and engineering work to be completed before we can go on the air full-time. Our official launch date is set for 25 March 2011.
Pictures tell a big part of the story:

The Friars Behind the Future Radio Station in New Bedford |
|
|
|
By Linda Andrade Rodrigues
NEW BEDFORD — Wearing a simple gray robe and sandals, Father Dominic enters the newsroom of the city newspaper. He walks slowly with head bent, and surrounded by cubicles, computers and harsh fluorescent lighting, he is an anachronism, otherworldly — 13th century meets 21st. |
