Vertical Impact Comments
Here are several of the many comments and emails that came to us for our Vertical Impact Day. We are so humbled to know that God uses the ministry of Vertical Radio to impact so may lives on a daily basis. Thank you to everyone who called or sent in a comment. And also we want to say thank you to those who have decided to support Vertical Radio for the coming year. We could not do it without your support.
I love sharing stories with people about what Vertical Radio means to their lives. We don’t often share that. We go about our busy little days and we forget to pay attention to the little things. What if Vertical Radio wasn’t around? It would be awful. We moved here in ’98, so I’ve been listening since then. We moved from a small town, and we had a small, little station, but, before that I came from Southern Ca. It was awesome to be in Farmington and have this station that rocks. I didn’t even have a station this good in CA. where we had a ton of them. KNMI is the best. Our whole family listens. Leann is four and she thinks KNMI rocks. Our son, Danny, is 7 and he listens too. I think KNMI is such an awesome ministry and I encourage friends to donate to the station. K.C.
I love the music. It’s the type of music I like and the words are just what I need to hear. It’s been good for me and my family and I appreciate having those encouraging words to do God’s will, comforting words in tough times, and just reassuring me of God’s love. We need that today – we just need to keep going. Thanks for being there. Linda
I listen to Vertical Radio because I love the Christian music. It does me good on my way to work and on my way to school. I thank God for putting KNMI on line. I especially like Wendy because she gives me that special touch when she says her prayers. I like all the beautiful, wonderful songs. Anonymous
It’s a blessing to have the station here and we want to keep it around. I’ve gone through some miscarriages and we’re in the process of adoption. Just the fact that I can turn on the radio and God will speak to me through a song and just help me through whatever I am going through. Martha
Vertical Radio is awesome. It gives me a chance to listen to good music with a nice message. It helps my children and me to stay on the right path. I love Vertical Radio. Anonymous
I began listening to Vertical Radio a few months ago, because of my great friend, Wendy. I continue to listen because of my crazy, hectic life with three little girls. I can turn on the radio and it gives me a little bit of peace and helps bring me a little bit closer to God. The music is so uplifting that it just puts a smile on your face and makes the day a lot better, no matter how good or bad a day you are having. It’s hard, even with kids’ programs these days; to find something you don’t have to sensor. And I don’t have to worry about that when we turn on KNMI – I know everything is going to be totally suitable for everyone in our family. God bless Vertical Radio – I don’t know what I would do without it. Shawna
I just love when Wendy says a prayer on the radio – it just makes my day. I usually catch you when I’m between schools. I’m a school teacher and I’m going between schools, so I don’t always hear the whole program. But I feel like I’m really lucky if I get to hear the prayer. Sometimes the music is just the right song for the way I’m feeling that day, or just the right song to lift me up. Vertical Radio is just great. I encourage people to support Vertical Radio. We are very blessed to have it in our town and if we don’t support it, we may lose it. Vicki
I listen to Vertical Radio because it’s a blessing to me every day to wake up and hear positive music that’s uplifting and spiritual. We live in a world that is often negative and Vertical Radio is a positive influence on my life and the life of my children. Anonymous
I like all the songs. My favorite is “How Great is our God!” Andrew (Andrew is four and he’s been listening to Vertical Radio for four years)
I have a husband and four kids. My kids were raised in the church when they were small. When they got older, they kinda got away from the church. They got married, and my husband and I just prayed for them and loved them. Now, two of them are back in the church and working for the Lord. I encourage people to pray for their kids and love them - they’ll be back to church. I always listened to KNMI. When we wake up, we turn the radio on for the whole day. When I’m upset about something, or if I worried about my kids when they were still away, the songs lifted me up. I’m glad we have this radio station in town. We pray for the people who help at the station. Sometimes it was hard when it was time to give our money to the station. We had bills and stuff. But we just prayed and the money was there. Anne
I’ve just been in Farmington three months, moving from Southern AZ. We had a contemporary Christian radio station there and I listened to that because that’s the kind of music I like to get into because it’s positive. I know it’s not like other kinds of music that is going to be a negative influence me. When we moved to Farmington, we found a church. I asked one of the girls in the youth group what she listens to and she said Vertical Radio. She told me about some of the songs they play and she told me her story about how Vertical Radio actually led her to believe in Jesus Christ. She wasn’t a believer when she first listened to the station. She had been listening for a few weeks and she heard the song by Disciple, “After the World”, which really spoke to her and that’s the night she became a Christian. I decided to begin listening and when I turned on the radio that was the first song I heard. It was perfect timing. If I didn’t have the station, I would feel lost. It would be like something important was missing from my life. Ashley
You all have inspired me to follow God. A lot of times I tend to fall and feel sad, and I turn on 88.9 and there is so much positive talk – “God is Great, God is awesome” and it feeds my spirit. It’s a wonderful feeling to know there’s somebody out there who is willing to help you. God is always there. I live on the Navajo reservation in Shiprock and just to listen to positive people and positive feedback is just awesome. I’ve seen God do so many great works in my life and in the lives of others. It’s like the little mustard seed that grows into this giant vine that spreads out. I love the radio station because it always has inspiring words, inspiring music, and something great to say to you. It’s like God is speaking to you through the radio station. It’s awesome. Anonymous
In 2006, I went through a breakup with my ex-wife. We went through a divorce last July and KNMI helped me heal. I knew God, but I never listened to the station before. God, Jesus and this station helped me heal. You guys are just awesome. I can’t say enough about your station. Ernie
I’ve been listening to the station more often now, than in the past. I’ve been getting more involved in the church lately. I’ve haven’t been listening to stuff I’m suppose to, and I started getting more involved in listening to Christian music and I like what you guys play. The station is great at getting young people to follow the music. It’s the kind of music they are use to listening to, but with a positive message. I hope people will do as much as they can to support the station, so we can keep hearing positive music and great messages you put out into our community. Julian

Once again, thank you to everyone who made a pledge of financial support for the coming year. Vertical Radio would not be here were it not for your willingness to give. We thank God for you and pray for you as well. Thanks and God bless.
Vertical Impact Day A HUGE Success!!
Vertical Impact Day was a HUGE success! Thank you to all who called in or sent in comments over the last few weeks and on Impact Day. All throughout the day we heard stories from you, our listeners, about how Vertical Radio has impacted your life. We laughed, we cried, we rejoiced, and most of all we praised our Father for who He is. We feel completely humbled, especially now, after hearing the many stories of how Vertical Radio has ministered to people from all walks of life, young and old. It has been our honor to bring quality Christian programming to the Four Corners area for over 28 years. Please consider supporting us financially for the coming year.
New Vertical Antenna!

As part of our new Power Increase Project we were able to join with other local radio stations to purchase a brand new, state-of-the-art antenna to share. This new antenna will allow multiple radio stations to share the new equipment without interruption from each other's signal. It truly is an answer to prayer for everyone invloved. Our old antenna was 27 years old and in bad shape. It was a miracle that we were on the air all those years. Truly, what an amazing God we serve. Thank you, to those of you have been supporting us financially and to those of you who gave directly to our Power Increase Project.
If you have any questions, please call the KNMI Studios at (505)327-4357 or email us at email@verticalradio.org. When we complete the project in a few days, you will be receiving a cleaner and clearer Vertical Radio signal than ever before. KNMI has been operating at the same power level since the first year we went on the air over 27 years ago! So as you can imagine, we are excited for this long awaited power increase! Thank you for continuing to keep Vertical Radio your choice for Today's Christian Hits!
New KNMI Streaming Audio on the way!!!
If you have tried to listen to us online recently and have had problems... please hang tight!!! Our friends at Advantas Internet have updated our streaming signal and we are now working on getting that to you as soon as possible. The new player is a flash player simliar to players used on Myspace and YouTube. You will now be able to listen to Vertical Radio on more computers than ever before! Thanks for listening and check back in a couple days!
Remember Our Veterans, Support Our Troops
Vertical Radio and Blue Star Mothers recently joined together to collect items for Christmas Care packages to send to troops stationed overseas.
It was a huge success! By the looks of things on our final collection day, it appeared to be our most successful year of collections ever! ALSO, our Vertical Comment Line was overwhelmed with messages from you, our listeners, to the troops. We collected over 50 messages on our comment line alone. You proved once again, why other radio stations often say we have the best listeners!!
Thank you to everyone who joined with Vertical Radio and The Blue Star Mothers to Remember Our Veterans and Support Our Troops! Thank you!
Check back for pictures and final totals!
INO Recording Artist Phil Wickham in the Vertical Studios
Phil Wickham in the studio

- "Phil Wickham - Cannons"
INO recording artist, Phil Wickham, stopped by the Vertical Studios on Tuesday to promote his soon to be released sophomore album, "Cannons." Phil is an amazing artist with a passion to lead others in worship as well as a desire to challenge believers to reach out to those who don't know Christ. Our very own Wendy, host of The Lunch Crunch, talked with Phil over the air and allowed Phil to share his heart. Phil also played a few songs over the air and also had some time to sit down and enjoy lunch with the Vertical Radio staff. It was a memorable day and a great reminder of how blessed we are to work with some truly humble artists like Phil.
"Cannons" is due out 10/02/07
