Casey listens to 98.7 in Springfield, Ohio:

Before I found out about you guys I was lost, cutting myself, and talking about suicide. I thought no one understood what I was going through, but RadioU helped teach me that Jesus is there no matter what. I asked Jesus to come into my life.

Marie watches TVU in Alabama:

When I discovered TVU, I had been in a world of hurt. I was having problems at school. My whole family was giving up. I couldn’t sleep, and I was flipping through channels. I saw an image of Anberlin for a split second. I watched and listened. I was reminded that God is in control. I wanted to get my life back together, and I did. Things are looking up. I also got my best friend into TVU and we watch it all the time now.

Erika listens to 88.9 in San Luis Obispo, California:

I absolutely cannot live without RadioU. My relationship with God has improved so much since I started listening to RadioU. It reminds me that this is all about something much bigger than me.

Steven listens to 90.5 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma:

RadioU has literally changed my life. It has given me more than I thought just a simple radio station could give someone: it’s given me hope!

Justin listens to 102.1 in Mount Vernon, Ohio:

I have listened to RadioU for almost four years now. I know every song by heart, and it has changed my life for the better. I used to be into Megadeth and bands like that, but all they did was make me angry with life. RadioU bands inspired me to know that I need to get off my butt and do something and not to settle for the norm. Thanks again for everything.

I could be having the worst day ever and this station is all I want to listen to. Thanks for being awesome. Keep doing what you guys are doing!

Brian listens to 88.7 in Columbus, Ohio:

I was initially attracted to all the heavy music RadioU plays. I am a veteran of the local music scene, focusing on hardcore and death metal. Over the past several months, I found a message through the station that has transformed my thinking. Demon Hunter’s “Driving Nails” has literally brought tears to my eyes, and the motivation for my acceptance and faith in Christ. Thanks to RadioU, I have a new look on life.

Chad listens to 102.5 in Kettering, Ohio:

Yajaira listens to 88.7 in Grove City, Ohio:

Clorissa listens to 88.5 in Silver Creek, New York:

RadioU is amazing. It’s all I ever listen to. Really helps me get through my days.

Jennifer watches TVU in Colorado:

I’m fifteen years old and for years now I’ve been struggling with self-harm. One night I remember watching when the video for “The Way She Feels” by Between The Trees came on. It inspired me to stop. I just wanted to thank you so much for providing meaningful music and introducing me to God. If it weren’t for TVU, I probably would have more scars. And not to mention I wouldn’t know of Showbread, House Of Heroes, Between The Trees, Flame, KJ-52, The Classic Crime, Oh Sleeper, etc. I truly thank you with all my heart. I’m closer to God now, and even though I still feel the sting of depression, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. And I know there’s hope.

RadioU keeps me alive.

Branden watches TVU in Ontario, Canada:

Without TVU, I have no clue what I would be listening to. It’s gotten me through tough times, and encourages me in my faith. Nowadays there’s a lot of bands that glorify things that have no real value. TVU is what we need. Thank you TVU.

James listens to RadioU 88.7 in Columbus, Ohio:

I listen to RadioU at the gym. Most places play music with negative words and sends the wrong message. RadioU gets me pumped as much as the other stations, but I get positive, clean, respectful messages. I’m not religious but I feel like someone is sending me a sign?

You guys are a big part of my salvation.

Brad watches TVU in Michigan:

TVU is fresh2deathhh. I’ve watched for a while and it’s really changed my life, not to mention my whole outlook on music. It seems like every video either makes me laugh or inspires me. You guys give some amazing underground bands a name and you give them a chance.

Finally a station that plays hardcore. I’ve been searching for so long. I hope you know how special and unique RadioU is. You are helping countless people… keep rockin’.

Sierra listens to RadioU 88.7 in Columbus, Ohio:
