There are events all year long so we hope that even if a ticketed event doesn’t work out this time, maybe there will be other options in the future. Concerts and tours are usually held in a large center or arena to accommodate larger audiences. The venue is contracted with a ticket vendor. There are some limited opportunities where we’ve been able to offer promotional discount codes, but these will always be shared on air or on our website if they are available. There are some venues that may reduce extra fees if you purchase in person; this is something you can always inquire about by calling the ticket sales office.

The bandwidth that the mobile app uses varies depending on your connection quality. At maximum quality, we use a 64K stream so at the most, data usage is about 29 MB per hour.

The sleep timer is located inside the mini-player. When you are streaming, the mini-player appears at the bottom of the app. Tap to open the mini-player and you will see the Timer displayed at the bottom left of the screen. Timer options are 15, 30, 45 minutes and 1 hour.

We know how nice it would be to set an alarm and wake up to Air1 music playing. While this is not currently a feature in the app, we hope to be able to include it soon.

You can start listening to music by tapping the play button on the main player. As long as music is playing, the mini-player will be visible on the app. When you stop the music, the mini-player disappears so that you can focus on other areas of the app and not be distracted by the mini-player. Resume the music stream by simply tapping play on the main player.

We have introduced a new feature to favorite and unfavorite songs. You can see and manage your list of favorite songs in the "More" tab of the app. From the song list, you can access the artist profile, lyrics (if available), play a sample (if available), share the song information, remove favorite, or search on Spotify.

Right now, favoriting a song simply creates a list of favorite songs for you to reference. In the future we will look at other ways to enrich your experience, such as showing news and articles about your favorite artists.

Right now, you can favorite songs you like, but the app does not currently offer the ability to request songs. Favoriting a song simply creates a list of favorite songs for you to reference.

We take prayer requests very seriously. Therefore, it is important to verify the authenticity of our audience that is praying for others. As a feature of the app, you need to create an account so that prayer activity can be shown. Then we can show you how many days you have prayed, how many people you have prayed for and allow you to set a daily prayer goal. With an account, you can also see a record of your prayer submissions.

Praying for others is an important part of our ministry. Our staff meets every day to pray for each and every prayer request. In addition, our Air1 audience is filled with prayer warriors who also pray for others that have submitted prayer. When you sign-in to the app, you can see how many people prayed for your request.

After 5 minutes of inactivity, the app will stop fetching new song information and show the Air1 default image instead of the Artist image. This is done to maintain a high level of performance. When the music stream is not playing, you can "pull down" from the top of the Radio tab to refresh the current song and last played song tiles.

If an area was at 100% last fund drive, it will often lose 20 to 30% of its financial support due to donors relocating to another area, loss of employment, family changes, financial changes and sometimes catastrophic events. The goal you hear on the air is the percentage to get back to 100% funding.

If funding is not met, then our EMF Board of Directors will meet to determine how to allocate the resources given. Financial decisions are thoughtfully and prayerfully made.
