FamilyNet Radio announced Thursday that it is featuring two new ministries on its growing line up. PowerPoint Ministries and Focus on the Family, with its award-winning talk show, can now be heard daily on SIRIUS Channel 159.

Both organizations feature prominent speakers who are being broadcasted on the faith-based satellite radio channel that already includes Jay Sekulow Live!, Hope for the Heart with June Hunt, Way of the Master with Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort at Home, among others.

Focus on the Family was named the "Best Radio Talk Show" for 2006 at the annual National Religious Broadcasters convention in February. The daily broadcast features Dr. James Dobson, founder and chairman of Focus on the Family, who is heard by more than 220 million people every day. Dobson's commentaries are broadcasted on over 3,000 radio facilities in North America as well as an estimated 4,130 additional facilities in over 160 other countries.
