Deseret Book Donates 54 Albums To KZION
ST. GEORGE, UT -- Deseret Book, a publishing company owned by The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, recently offered to
donate over 50 music albums to KZION LDS Internet Radio, the only
independent, Internet-based music radio station which caters to
members of the Church.
The donation not only ranks as the highest donation to date,
surpassing Heartrise's May donation of 27, but according to John
Hesch, Program Manager for KZION, it almost doubles the number of
titles soon to be available on KZION. "Before today we had over 1000
titles that were either available for listening at KZION or were
being added to the database. We haven't counted each song from these
new albums, but we estimate that we have close to 700 additional
titles."
Many Latter-day Saints know Deseret Book for its retail stores or the
books it publishes, but they may not be aware of its music division.
"Much of the music available to KZION presently from Deseret Book are
titles under the Shadow Mountain label," says Kim Siever, Public
Relations Manager for KZION. "The genres that Shadow Mountain
completely reflect the styles we like to play on KZION. They have
everything from classical to contemporary to inspirational. Some of
the artists which KZION listeners will find familiar are Brett
Raymond, Kurt Bestor, Jenny Oaks Baker, Michael McLean and Hilary
Weeks."
Larry Beck, Sales Manager for KZION and the key player in arranging
the donation, says that the new albums are more than just new music.
"This donation signifies the beginning of a strategic partnership
between KZION and Deseret Book. We are excited to be working with
Deseret Book now, and in the future."
KZION accepts donations of albums from distributors and independent
artists to be played on the air. Fell free to contact John Hesch at
kzion@brassplates.net for further information.
