A Letter From Our President:
Dear Friends of RadiantTV,
What better way to share this Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ than through His Word and through His majestic Creation? I am so thankful for your support of the ministry of RadiantTV and trust it has been a blessing to you.
​
Through your contributions RadiantTV has built a strong foundation over the last eight years of ministry and has made a meaningful impact on countless lives. Every day I anticipate reading the flood of encouraging notes from our viewers that have continually inspired our team to continue pressing on with the mission and vision for RadiantTV. Over the years, thousands of viewers from all across the country have shared how deeply touched they’ve been by RadiantTV’s unique programming blend of Scripture, scenery, and song. It is like nothing else in the media landscape, and it is bearing much fruit every day. We believe the time is ripe to have an even greater impact. We want to share this unique programming with wider audiences as we regularly create beautiful new music videos that will inspire viewers to simply worship God.
​
This is why RadiantTV is excited to take this bold next step toward an even brighter future by expanding our reach to new audiences and exponentially growing our library of original content created each year to higher levels than ever before. To achieve this, we’ve just launched a campaign called the RadiantTV Bright Horizon Campaign, which runs now through December 31, 2025. And has the financial goal to raise $300,000 for the reasons below.
​
This is RadiantTV’s biggest, most audacious goal to date as we enlarge our vision to a whole new level. Simply put, reaching our goal for the Bright Horizon Campaign will (1) refresh and update the RadiantTV library with an abundance of brand-new content, and (2) bring RadiantTV to new audiences through our three campaign initiatives (read below).
​
Your support now is vital to reaching this goal. I hope that you will take a moment of your time to carefully read through the various Bright Horizon Campaign initiatives that make up this important endeavor. Please prayerfully consider making a gift to help us reach our goal and help propel RadiantTV toward a bright horizon in 2025​
​

New Video Content Initiative
This initiative will emphasize regularly adding fresh content on a monthly basis to RadiantTV from National Parks across the country and creating unique collections of songs and videos that can be later viewed on Digital platforms and, for the first time, made available in beautiful 4k or UHD (Ultra High Definition) quality. Our first unique collection, projected to be released in October 2025, is to complete the Great Smoky Mountains National Park movie project. A second National Park Movie Project is slated to begin production by the end of 2025, and we will be announcing which one in our next newsletter. Plus, after hearing so many requests from our viewers, RadiantTV will immediately begin putting together a Christmas project with a projected release for Christmas 2027 called "Peace on Earth." It will feature beautiful musical arrangements of all your favorite Christmas carols and winter scenes from various U.S. National Parks in the traditional RadiantTV instrumental style.
02
Capital Initiative
This will bring in resources to upgrade equipment and expand our technical capabilities to increase our distribution of RadiantTV around the world. This includes new equipment specifically designed to handle the delivery of a new high quality 24/7 channel that can be available to anyone across the country by way of both broadcast stations and online streaming platforms. One of the main pieces of equipment that must be upgraded immediately is an encoder capable of reliably running RadiantTV 24/7/365. There are also some needed upgrades to our video equipment that captures nature’s beauty and will allow us to edit and master all of our future projects in 4k with adequate server space and media storage.
03
Staffing Initiative
Bright Horizon Campaign Initiatives
With the expanded vision, RadiantTV has additional needs for added cinematography and editing, recording and mastering new music, engineering and IT services, and even beginning language translation projects for international purposes. Increasing work hours for both full-time and part-time staff is essential to make these plans a reality. Since its launch in 2016, RadiantTV has grown steadily, but now it's time to enter a new phase of growth and give RadiantTV more focus year-round. Many may not know that RadiantTV was founded by Dr. Jamey Schmitz, who also launched the independent, Christian TV station WLMB-TV 40 Toledo in 1998 and serves as its President and CEO. Originally created as a small production for overnight viewers on WLMB, RadiantTV quickly gained popularity. Its vision has expanded, and it can no longer be treated as a side project just for overnight viewing. We now need to dedicate more work hours to support its continual growth and 24/7 content.
