[HCDX] Radio Mar, Bogotá, 1580 kHz

[Henrik Klemetz <hklemetz@xxxxxxxx>]

A tape recording from Odd Påg and a query from Björn
Malm made me ask Rafael Rodríguez if Radio Pare de
Sufrir, 1580 kHz, in Bogotá, Colombia, has changed its
name. Yes, it has, says Rafael, it is now Radio Mar
(which is what Malm says he has been hearing). 

The name shift is uncomprehensible, says Rafael.

This means that there are at least two religious
broadcasters from Colombia on 1580, the other one
being the Barranquilla relay of Radio María.

Radio María is run by the Catholic Church, while Radio
Mar is one of the outlets of the Iglesia Universal del
Reino de Dios (IURD), which is run by self-proclaimed
Brazilian Bishop Edir Macedo. This church owns radio
and TV stations in many parts of the world, including
the UK. In Brazil, Rede Record is their flagship. This
church has several places of worship in Bogotá, where
they organize healing campaigns under the motto
"Oración fuerte al Espíritu Santo". The address for
their main church in Bogotá was given on Odd Påg´s
tape as Av. Caracas 19A-90 Sur. This church has a
regular program on Colombian TV (Canal 1) called "Pare
de Sufrir". 

A website with worldwide addresses for IURD is at

The Iglesia Pentecostal Dios es Amor (IPDA), is
another church founded in Brazil and missioning in
many parts of the world. In Bogotá their programs are
aired on 1160 kHz, and their "La Voz de la Liberación"
program can be heard in many different releases from
various Peruvian tropical bands stations. This
ministry is unrelated to that of the IURD. More info,
including two streaming audio links to the Brazilian
"Voz da Libertacão" program at
