Evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson broadcast over her own radio station, KFSG, in Los Angeles, from her church, Angelus Temple, from 1924 until her death in 1944.
I'm curious if McPherson was ever heard on radio in other parts of the U.S. via either a network program or transcribed syndiated series?? |

| I dont believe that "Sister Aimee" ever broadcast on any other radio station in the world, since her church only owned the one outlet and her views were so unique to her particular church and theology. By the way, KFSG left the air a couple of weeks ago after almost 80 years of broadcasts, a victim of church financial decisions and local marketng agreements being terminated. |

| There was a biography of McPherson published about 10 years ago. (I think the title is SISTER AIMEE.)I knew she had had a radio station so I checked the index for reference to her radio career. I seem to remember that it said something about how she had distributed recordings of her programs to other radio stations. I got the impression that the recordings had been distributed gratis to stations that were looking for free programming. As I recall nothing in the author's discussion of this suggested that he had ever heard any of the broadcasts or that the recordings still existed. |

Columbia Records released a three minute sermon by Amy, "Come," on 78rpm. The flip side featured her and her choir singing "I Ain't A Gonna Greive My Lord Any More."
Evidently the church she organized, Angeles Temple in Los Angeles, still has her radio broadcasts in its archives and makes copies available to the pub |
