Welcome to our new version of the homecomingradio.net broadcasters' website! This site is now responsive to the device on which it is viewed and should be more efficient. Homecomingradio.net will redirect to this site, but the website operates on the homecomingradio.online domain at this time. Either domain will bring the user to this page. We hope to continue to improve the site in the near future!
Home Page
Welcome to the Broadcasters Download Site for the Bill Gaither's Homecoming Radio program! We are appreciative of the hundreds of radio stations throughout the world who regularly provide the "Best of the Best" in gospel music week after week via our Homecoming Radio offerings. On this site we make available to our radio stations a new Homecoming Radio program each week.
NOTE: While we offer our Gaither Homecoming Radio programs to our broadcasters free of charge, we do request that new radio station users contact us to register as one of our broadcasters and for permission to download and air the files available on our site. It's important to us to know our broadcasters in order that we be able to maintain quality control as well as to have the ability to contact our users with updates and information as needed. There are no affadavits that require signatures in order to air HCR. Click here to access our "Contact Homecoming Radio" form if you wish to broadcast Homecoming Radio, or if you are a current broadcaster who has never done so.
Broadcasters who wish to air our program more than once a week are encouraged to use our "Daily Program Download Page." On this page, archived programs (same length and format as our "weekend programs") are scheduled five days a week in a manner which will help broadcasters maintain an effective rotation of past shows and also avoid shows which are time-sensitive by season, holidays, etc. The calendar page is provided as a convenience to our radio station users.
The programs on this site are in single file MP3 format and the file size of each MP3 is about 110 Mb. The time sheets are in Excel (.xls) format (under 35 Kb) and provide the broadcaster with a complete list of all songs in the program, song time, CD name, recording label, and the times where breaks are located. The MP3 and Timesheet for each hour-long program are available below for download by clicking on the appropriate "Download" button. Download time may vary depending on your internet connection speed.

A Message to our Broadcasters (October 16, 2024)...
As we are entering our 20th Anniversary of Bill Gaither's Homecoming Radio, we take time to say thank you to our faithful radio partners, both long-term and those who have just recently joined the family. Since 2023, we have been back in an aggressive production schedule of ALL-NEW SHOWS for at least 48 out of 52 weeks for the original, weekly release. That plan continues as we enter year #20 this fall!
