GROWING GOSPEL STATION IN OCHI CELEBRATES 5 YEARS

CALLED OUT GOSPEL RADIO SEEKS SUPPORT IN SEVERAL AREAS

OCHO RIOS, St Ann; April 7, 2025

CALLED OUT GOSPEL (COGR), a faith-based, inspiring internet radio ministry, has been celebrating its fifth anniversary and is looking forward to more years of service and rich religious programming.

The radio station, based in Ocho Rios, St. Ann, Jamaica, started on February 19, 2020.

COGR’s rich, religious content of gospel music, preaching, news, advertising and other programmes is aired daily.

The station’s tagline is: “Fulfilling God’s Purpose…Impacting Lives.”

(At back-to-school treat)

Our theme scripture: 1 Peter 2 v 9 “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.”

(After the most recent Kids’ treat)

 

COGR’s target audience is children and youths, families and believers and unbelievers on a whole; no matter the age group, bringing purpose to their lives is our goal.

 

The growing listenership consists of domestic, regional and international markets.

We stream 24 hours via our app in the Google Play Store. IPhone users can listen by downloading the Online Radio Box app. From time to time, some of our programmes and interviews are also streamed live on our social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok.

Among the programmes aired daily are Sunshine Praise with Primrose Oliver (Mondays and Tuesdays 9 am-1 pm) and Lisa Watson (Wednesdays – Fridays), Advanced Praise, anointed prayers, Dr. Monica Jones ministry, noonday word with Evangelist Hyacinth Staple-Reid (Bahamas), news and other features. On Saturdays, we have Children Church/Kids Praise, Praise Blaze with Primrose Oliver and Durville Oliver Music Show.

Since its inception, COGR, with the help of our valued sponsors and listeners has embarked on several initiatives each year such as back-to-school giveaways, kids’ treats, care packages etc. We have also hosted a summer camp engaging children in music, Spanish, English, Math and other activities.

The COGR team hopes that a school reading/homework programme which we started in 2020 will be revived soon.

New initiatives – three programmes coming on stream soon are: Land matters with an attorney, counselling and health programmes. As an online station, we are doing exceptionally well as our listenership is far and wide (local, regional, international). Another goal is to get the station on the free to air (FM dial) in the near future. With God, our valued listeners and sponsors onboard this can be a reality. Thanks always for your support over the years. God bless you.
