Christian radio
As of June 2007, the Dawson McAllister Association is halting all broadcasts on non-commercial Christian Radio. The majority of Christian radio Stations in the United States (especially those playing Contemporary Christian Music) are non-commercial. The company cites reasons of syndication with ABC. Many Christian radio programmers felt that the Dawson McAllister Association turned its back on Christian radio, where it got its start on the air.
