Mission

AMPLIFY THE VOICE OF THE CREATOR, BY FOSTERING CONTENT THAT INVITES.

  • FORT WAYNE CATHOLIC RADIO GROUP WAS ORIGINALLY ESTABLISHED TO AIR CATHOLIC RADIO PROGRAMS TO A POTENTIAL LISTENING AUDIENCE OF 300,000. BECAUSE OF THE STEADY DECLINE OF RADIO LISTENERSHIP AND THE GROWING NUMBER OF PODCASTS BEING PRODUCED, IN 2021, FORT WAYNE CATHOLIC RADIO GROUP/DBA REDEEMER RADIO EXPANDED ITS OFFERINGS BY CREATING SPOKE STREET MEDIA, AN ONLINE PLATFORM THAT ALLOWS MORE ON-DEMAND CONTENT. NOW RATHER THAN HEARING FROM THE SAME 6-7 PEOPLE EACH WEEKDAY, WE CAN DRAW ON HUNDREDS OF DIFFERENT PROGRAMS, PODCASTS AND VOICES. THROUGH THESE NEW VOICES, REDEEMER RADIO AND SPOKE STREET MEDIA EDUCATE LISTENERS ON A BROAD RANGE OF TOPICS TO NURTURE THEIR SPIRITUAL, MENTAL, AND PHYSICAL HEALTH. SPOKE STREET MEDIA WAS ABLE TO REACH AN EXCESS OF 350,000 DOWNLOADS FROM ITS ONLINE PLATFORM FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. THE TERRESTRIAL RADIO STATIONS AND THAT DIVISION WAS SOLD TO RELEVANT RADIO AND CLOSED IN LATE 2023. ALL ASSETS INCLUDING CASH, EQUIPMENT, AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES FOR THE REMAINING DIVISION (SPOKE STREET MEDIA) WERE DONATED TO MAX STUDIOS A DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ST. THOMAS IN HOUSTON TX. THE FINAL DONATION OF CASH WAS MADE ON DECEMBER 30, 2024.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Not present in the most recent drop.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
