It looks at the characteristics of these stations and the programming they play, along with who listens to religious programming and why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/pew-knight\/\">Pew-Knight Initiative<\/a> is a research program funded jointly by The Pew Charitable Trusts and the John S. and James L.

Understanding more about the sources Americans turn to for information \u2013 including religious radio stations \u2013 is a key part of the Center\u2019s long-standing research agenda on news habits and media. Religious radio stations can be heard in most parts of the U.S. and make up a considerable portion of the country\u2019s media landscape. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Learn more <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/about\/\">about Pew Research Center<\/a> and our <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/topic\/news-habits-media\/\">news habits and media research<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How did we do this?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this study, we used three main data sources to get a broad look at where religious radio stations are, what their programming tends to sound like and reasons their listeners tune in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Data about all FCC-licensed terrestrial AM and FM radio stations in the U.S. from <a href=\"https:\/\/radio-locator.com\/cgi-bin\/page?page=about\">Radio-Locator<\/a>, an industry database with information about where stations are located, the geographical areas they cover and the primary type of programming they air. We also examined the websites of religious stations to learn how they describe their mission and religious affiliation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Around 440,000 hours of audio collected from the internet broadcasts of more than 2,000 religious stations during the month of July 2025.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A survey of 5,023 U.S. adults conducted June 9-15, 2025, that asked members of the Center\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/the-american-trends-panel\/\">American Trends Panel<\/a> about the religious audio programming they listen to and why.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are the <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/03\/pl_2026.03.26_religious-radio_questionnaire.pdf\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/03\/pl_2026.03.26_religious-radio_questionnaire.pdf\">survey questions<\/a> used for this report, the <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/03\/pl_2026.03.26_religious-radio_topline.pdf\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/03\/pl_2026.03.26_religious-radio_topline.pdf\">detailed responses<\/a> and the study\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/data-labs\/2026\/03\/26\/methodology-religious-radio\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/data-labs\/2026\/03\/26\/methodology-religious-radio\/\">methodology<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Music is core to Americans\u2019 experiences with religious programming. Around four-in-ten U.S. adults (37%) say they ever listen to religious music. And music of some kind occupies around half of all airtime on religious radio across the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To determine what music is played most often on religious radio, we randomly collected more than 300,000 songs played on religious stations in July 2025. We then used the <a href=\"https:\/\/audd.io\/\">AudD music recognition API<\/a> to identify those songs, their artists and the musical genres those artists are affiliated with. (We use the word \u201cartists\u201d throughout this analysis to refer to both individual recording artists as well as bands or ensembles.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On one level, music on religious radio is quite diverse. Nearly 14,000 artists appeared in our sample of 300,000 songs, reflecting a range of Christian (and some non-Christian) music genres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>At the same time, religious radio airplay favors a relatively small set of genres and artists.<\/strong> The average listener is much more likely to hear artists who play contemporary Christian music (CCM) or worship music than they are to hear artists of other genres. And 16% of all songs we collected were by just 10 artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These findings are part of a <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/data-labs\/2026\/03\/26\/religious-radio-across-america\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/data-labs\/2026\/03\/26\/religious-radio-across-america\/\">larger study on religious radio<\/a> in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;most-common-music-genres&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" id=\"most-common-music-genres\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Most common music genres<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The vast majority of the music that plays on U.S. religious radio can be identified as Christian music of some kind (88%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignright has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-bd6cbb4d wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-chart-builder\">\t\t<div style=\"max-width:420px\" class=\"wp-chart-builder-wrapper alignnone wp-block-prc-chart-builder-controller\" id=\"750f322d-6e4f-4052-8657-47b51d61db49\" data-wp-interactive=\"prc-chart-builder\/controller\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;750f322d-6e4f-4052-8657-47b51d61db49&quot;,&quot;postId&quot;:294259,&quot;postUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/alpha.pewresearch.org\\\/pewresearch-org\\\/data-labs\\\/2026\\\/03\\\/26\\\/music-on-religious-radio\\\/&quot;,&quot;chartPostUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/alpha.pewresearch.org\\\/pewresearch-org\\\/chart\\\/music-on-religious-radio-is-dominated-by-contemporary-christian-and-worship-music\\\/&quot;,&quot;postPubDate&quot;:&quot;2026-03-26&quot;,&quot;rootUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/alpha.pewresearch.org\\\/pewresearch-org&quot;,&quot;featuredImageId&quot;:297034,&quot;featuredImageUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/alpha.pewresearch.org\\\/pewresearch-org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/20\\\/2026\\\/03\\\/music_on_religious_radio_is_dominated_by_contemporary_christian_and_worship_music-285044-1774973210.png&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Music on religious radio is dominated by contemporary Christian and worship music&quot;,&quot;subtitle&quot;:&quot;% of songs played on U.S. religious radio stations that are by artists who play \\u2026&quot;,&quot;note&quot;:&quot;Note: Genre data could not be retrieved for 8% of recognized tracks.

(We couldn\u2019t collect genre information for the remaining 8%.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stylistically, about two-thirds of these songs are by artists who play contemporary Christian music. A similar share are by artists who play worship music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other genres that appear often on religious radio include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pop (42% of tracks are by artists tagged as pop)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gospel (27%)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Country (21%)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rock (19%)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Alternative (15%)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The vast majority of the artists who play on religious radio perform in multiple genres, with CCM\/worship and CCM\/pop being the two most common combinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the most part, religious stations across the country tend to play similar types of music. However, stations in the South play a larger share of songs by gospel artists (41% of all song plays vs. 20% across other regions) and Christian country artists (30% vs. 17%). Southern stations play correspondingly less worship, pop and rock music than stations elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;artists-who-receive-the-most-airtime&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" id=\"artists-who-receive-the-most-airtime\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Artists who receive the most airtime<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 300,000 songs we collected for this analysis came from about 14,000 different artists. But despite that overall variety, religious radio stations tend to devote most of their music airtime to a relatively small number of popular performers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-310-wide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/?attachment_id=294919\"><img data-dominant-color=\"efeae4\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #efeae4;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/03\/pl_2026.03.26_religious-radio_4_02.png?resize=480,938 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/03\/pl_2026.03.26_religious-radio_4_02.png?resize=620,1212 620w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"606\" width=\"310\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/03\/pl_2026.03.26_religious-radio_4_02.png?w=310\" alt=\"A chart showing that The most popular 10% of artists account for 87% of song plays on religious radio\" class=\"wp-image-294919 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just 10 artists accounted for 16% of all songs played on religious radio during the month we studied. This list includes contemporary Christian artists like Phil Wickham, Matthew West and the band MercyMe. Wickham, who claimed more airtime than any other artist in July 2025 (about 2.5% of all song plays), had two tracks that appeared on the weekly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/charts\/christian-airplay\/2025-07-12\/\">Billboard Christian Airplay<\/a> chart during that month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The top 10 artists on religious radio by airtime are largely long-standing figures in Christian music. All but one have been releasing music since before 2010, and several have careers stretching back into the 1990s or earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;Beyond these 10 artists:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The top 1% of artists by airtime accounted for 57% of song plays.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The top 10% of artists accounted for 87% of song plays.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, the remaining 90% of artists together accounted for just 13% of songs plays in July 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;times-of-day-religious-radio-stations-play-music&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" id=\"times-of-day-religious-radio-stations-play-music\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Times of day religious radio stations play music<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking at U.S. religious radio stations collectively, music takes up 52% of all programming time. But there is some variation in how much music the average listener might hear depending on the time of day they tune in. Music is most prevalent during the evening time slot \u2013 7 p.m. to midnight \u2013 accounting for 60% of overall broadcast time. And it is least prevalent during the morning drive time slot \u2013 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. \u2013 when it occupies 47% of broadcast time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-310-wide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/?attachment_id=294920\"><img data-dominant-color=\"dfd2c4\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #dfd2c4;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/03\/pl_2026.03.26_religious-radio_4_03.png?resize=480,839 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/03\/pl_2026.03.26_religious-radio_4_03.png?resize=620,1084 620w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"542\" width=\"310\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/03\/pl_2026.03.26_religious-radio_4_03.png?w=310\" alt=\"A chart showing that Religious radio stations play more music in the evenings\" class=\"wp-image-294920 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, not all religious radio stations play the same broad content mix. Similar shares of stations play mostly music (37%), mostly talk programming (35%) or a more even mix of talk and music (28%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Among stations that play mostly talk, music takes up 8% to 12% of broadcast time across every major time slot in the typical 24-hour day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Conversely, among stations that play mostly music, it occupies 85% of broadcast time or more during every time slot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stations that play a more equal mix of talk and music tend to air music and talk programming in roughly equal measures throughout the daytime.
