Mike Church has been on the radio since 1992, and The Mike Church Show is now the anchor of a whole independent network, The Crusade Channel. The Crusade Channel app is an AppPresser built app that carries that network to iPhone, iPad and Android, and listeners rate it 5.0 on both stores.
Who is behind the app
The network launched on November 11, 2015, after Mike Church's run as a morning host on the SiriusXM Patriot Channel ended. It was built as a station for live talk radio from day one.
Beyond the flagship morning show, the lineup includes Crusade Channel News, Mike Parrott's Parrott Talk, The Fiorella Files, Brother Andre Marie's ReConquest, and original podcast series such as Reverse Deception, Moms, Murders And Mysteries, Thursday Night Throwdown and Album Autopsy.
What Crusade Channel Podcast does
The app is one dependable place to hear, watch and take part in everything the network produces. A player bar stays docked at the bottom of every screen, and the home screen leads with listening, watching and the live chat.
