Plan & Budget Outline
What is the Plan?
Sound Vision Foundation would like to achieve the following
goals through RadioIslam.com project.
- Develop quality programming for the radio
- Webcast all these programs through RadioIslam.com
- Make this programming available to 250 cities where Islamic
radio hour exists
- Provide daily Talk Show hour to Chicago and other cities
who are planning to be on air daily
- Develop a network of these radio programs
- Engage young Muslim talent through training workshops, internships,
and by sharing know how to participate in creative programming
Art and technology of Radio is old but still powerful and far
less expensive than TV. Alhamdu lillah, more than 250 Islamic Radio program
are being aired through out the USA. Most of them are weekly. Mostly masjids
devote their resources to buy air time and then play whatever free material
they can find to air. None of them have enough resources to do quality programming
by hiring professional staff who is trained to take advantage of the media.
According to a survey done by a Muslim professor of communication,
Muslim youth choose proper use of media by Muslims a top priority .
What are the features/programs?
- Daily news, report and analysis
- Talk shows with Muslim and non-Muslim experts, government
officials, politicians, with call in facility
- How to's and tips for which SoundVision.com is known for
- Songs by Muslim singers and other singers of quality content
- Interviews with experts in bridge-building, mediation, human
relations,
- History moment: short vocal dramatization with sound effects
- Story telling: Stories are a great Eastern connection with
the West.
How much does it take to run RadioIslam
per year?
- To develop program and run RadioIslam.com with daily creative
programming for the first year: $348,800
- To reedit these programs and provide 4 weekly master in 28
minute and 58 minute size to 250 Islamic radio program, it will cost per year:
$85,800
- To offer internship for 5 persons per year: $13,500
- To offer radio programming workshops in 5 cities: $28,000
- The cost of putting daily shows on air will be the responsibility
of the city community except in Chicago where Sound Vision is leading the
effort.
How will it be standing on its
feet?
- Almost all of Sound Vision's past programs are standing on
its feet and we no longer raise funds for those programs. Similarly we plan
to achieve self sufficiency for RadioIslam.com through the following ways:
- After providing free programming for two years, we plan to
start charging for the program.
- We will also develop revenues from sponsorship messages from
different companies once we develop the collective profile of the total audience
of all these radios.
- We will sell successful audio programs to consumers directly
to increase our revenue
- We will also organize ticket based shows for the artists
working with RadioIslam.com
- We may have to continue fundraising until we achieve the
self-sufficiency. In that case we may do on air fundraising as is done by
NPR.

| Something to Ask... | | O Allah, I beg to You the good which Your Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) begged of You; and I seek refuge in You from the evil where from Your Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) sought refuge. You are the One from Whom help is sought and Your is the responsibility to communicate (the truth). There is no power or strength except with Allah the Exalted, the Great. |
