Glow & Surge​

Before You Lease:
​
​I run a small Christian internet radio station.  I’d love to lease Glow & Surge, but can’t afford it.  Can you help?
Yes!  When you buy the more affordable AG Now Music Library, get BOTH AG Glow and AG Surge - FREE!  
What’s the difference between AG Glow, Surge and Now?
AG Glow is the imaging library for Christian AC.  AG Surge is imaging for CHR & Hip Hop.  AG Now is a production music library exclusively for Christian media.
How do I start my free trial?
Contact us to get the conversation started.  We need to be sure Glow & Surge are available in your market. 
Any catch to this free trial?  Are you roping me into something I don’t see coming?
Absolutely not.  You’ll sign a contract valued at zero dollars, giving you permission to air Glow and/or Surge audio for 30 days.  After 30 days, either move forward with a full agreement, or remove all Glow/Surge audio, and walk away.  No obligation.  No hidden fees.
Do I have to sign a contract? 
Yes.  It gives you written, legal permission to use Audible Genesis audio.
Are Glow & Surge market exclusive?
For radio markets, yes!  However, market exclusivity does not apply to streaming-only ministries.
Does it cost extra to air AG audio on my website, app, or third-party streaming services?  
No.  Signing on your station signs on your streaming as well.  You only pay more when you add a new signal or station.
I have both Christian AC and “hotter” Christian  CHR  or Hip Hop stations.  Can I get a deal when leasing both AG Glow and AG Surge?
Yes!  Lease one, get the other free.

THE SERVICE
You say I can use “any voice” with your templates.  How’s that?
Versions!  In each template file, you’ll find:  1, A fully voiced sample.  You won’t use this on the air.  It’s tagged with a fake station name.  It just shows you what we’ve done with the template.  2, that same template, fully voiced, EXCEPT station identifying lines.  If you use our included voice, simply insert your station name, or order the VO needed to fill the template with your local information, and finish the job.  3, the template with NO VOICE OVER.  This is where you insert ANY voice or voices.  We’ve laid out the complicated production.  You simply drop a voice on top.  4, each piece of audio that went into making the template, on it’s own, free and clear, with one second of space between audio pieces.  This lets you get creative, change the template, or create something entirely new.  5, finally, we give you the dry VO provided in the template, free and clear, on it’s own, for you to use however you choose.
How often is new audio made available?
Weekly!
How will I know new audio has been made available?
Update alerts are posted on the Audible Genesis Facebook page.
How do I order voice overs?
You can order VO through email.
In what format do you accept scripts?
However you choose to send them.  Word docs, pasted in bodies of emails, or pasting or writing your script within the form found in the library, 
What’s the turnaround time for VO?
24 hours.
Glow & Surge are huge.  How do I find what I’m looking for?
They've  been growing since 2007.  Search, search, and search.  Use the search box as you would Google.
Can I make audio requests?
Yes!  We urge you to make requests for every category in the library, from imaging templates to audio drops.  
In what format and quality is Glow/Surge audio?
Mp3 @ 320 kbps at minimum.  

SEARCH TIPS​
I’m looking for audio for my Pledge Drive, Share-a-thon, Friendraiser, etc, etc.
Fundraiser.  Search “fundraiser.”  That’s the magic word for all things related to raising funds.
How do I find Christmas audio?
Search “Christmas.”  Easter audio?  “Easter.”  Summer themed imaging?  “Summer.”  Morning show sweepers?  “Morning.”  Back to school listener audio?  Choose ONLY the listener category, and search “back to school,” or just “school” to expand your results.  You get the idea.  Search is your best friend!
My station does a 21 Day Challenge.  I searched “challenge,” and found only 30 Day Challenge imaging.  Am I outta luck?
No!  Templates are fully customizable!  Use the template version that best fits your application, then change what needs changing!  Custom VO is always available for custom lines to finish your specific, local imaging.  So, it’s quick and easy to turn that 30 Day Challenge Promo, into a 21 Day Challenge Promo!
I’m looking for a listener to react to a scripted line I wrote.
Oh, cool.  We’ve thought of that.  There’s a full block of reactions in the listener category.  To find them, search “reaction.”
Searching for Fall audio is hard.  Fall, you know, the season?  Such a common word.
Yeah, we know.  So everything for the “fall” season is searchable by the term “autumn.”
How do I find artists talking about the stories behind their songs?
Search “song story.”  Looking for a specific artist or song?  Search “Matthew West Song Story,” or, “Broken Things Song Story,” or, “Matthew West Broken Things Song Story.”
You know those music promos with a bunch of music clips back to back?  Maybe some VO and listeners mixed in?
Oh yeah.  We call those “montages.”  Search “montage.”
How do I find appropriate imaging beds?
Go to the imaging bed section and look around.  See how they’re titled?  Those titles are search terms.  Familiarize yourself with the terms we use, and use those terms to find appropriate music.  “Happy,” “Upbeat,” “Uplifting,” “Serious,” “Thoughtful,” “Emotional,” “Hopeful,” “Driving,” are a few searches worth trying.
Do you do topical stuff?  Like, if there’s a major hurricane, do you make imaging for it?
Yes, when appropriate.  When we make natural disaster or tragedy imaging, we’re very careful to stay in line with what YOU would put on YOUR air.  We keep your target demographic top of mind.  We know kids are listening.  We play it safer than safe.  We focus on the hope and relief of the situation, rather than the horror of the tragedy itself.

1 IN 60 WITH BILLY PETERSON
How does this cover the cost of Glow & Surge?
We give you something to “sell.”  Find an underwriter to support the segment.  That support should more than cover Glow/Surge costs.  We, however, can not find local underwriter support for you.  We give you the vehicle.  You have to drive it.
When do I have to air these segments?
You don’t HAVE to.  If you do air them, air them whenever you like.  Most subscribers run then daily, or multiple times a day, at set times.  You know, appointment listening.  This makes it more attractive to underwriters.  However, several subscribers simply run them in random rotation at random times throughout the day.  You can make them part of your stop sets.  In fact, you can do anything you like, however you like.
I don’t want to air 1 in 60 segments, for whatever reason.  Do I have to?
No.  It’s part of the package, air them or don’t.

PAYMENT
​How can I pay?
Free monthly bank transfer or by credit card for a small fee.
How frequently am I charged?
Monthly.
Who do I talk to about billing and payment issues?
Jen.  Email her here.
