This is a misnomer in the media industry. Levels of music, spoken word programmes and sponsorship announcements at Rhema FM are the same and strictly controlled. Some music is louder than other music tracks and similarly, some sponsorship announcements appear louder in their varying presentations.

First of all, make sure you have a good quality radio with reasonably powerful reception. The cheaper the radio, the more likely you will experience poor reception. FM signals travel in straight lines generally, while AM signals will follow contours. Therefore, it is important to have your radio and aerial in line with the transmission signal/tower. If you live in a valley or an area surrounded by hills, you could experience poor reception. An outside aerial could improve your reception dramatically.

It has been found to render particularly well in Google Chrome. It will also work very well in Safari, Firefox and the Internet Explorer 9.

Most likely this is because the browser you are using is an old outdated browser that is not fully supported by our website.

Currently Internet Explorer 6 and 7 are only main stream browsers we do not support. To check if you have one of these browsers click on help and then about Internet Explorer in your browser and check the version number.
