AbouT AMB-OS

Amb-OS is a sister company of Ambassador and creators of the Amb-OS AMR-100 receiver – the distribution platform that revolutionized Christian radio. In short, Amb-OS works like a DVR for audio.  Visit the installation page for specific details on how it works, installation instructions, and more.

Distribute on Amb-OS
If you’d like to have your ministry’s radio program distributed on Amb-OS, please contact Charley Mefferd, VP, Sales and Marketing at 949-681-7640 or charley@amb-os.com.

Programs on Amb-OS
If a program you currently air or would like to air is not available on Amb-OS, we ask that you contact the ministry.  Many new Amb-OS partnerships are formed by direct requests from radio stations. View the full list at amb-os.com/programs.

Requesting programs on Amb-OS
Make a request for permission to air a program at the amb-os.com/permissions Portal.   

Requesting a Receiver
Your radio station may qualify to receive an Amb-OS AMR receiver at no cost.  To inquire about receiving a new receiver, contact support@amb-os.com.  Please include your station information and a list of programs you currently air and/or plan to air.

Purchase an Additional Receiver
Your radio station may want to purchase a backup or second receiver.  Both the AMR-100 and AMR-100I (Internet-only version) are available for $595 (while supplies last) and may be purchased from Satcom Resources.

Returning a Receiver
We ask that your radio station returns a receiver if it is no longer needed.  This includes radio stations that are sold, change formats, remove programming, or no longer have need for the receiver for another reason.  To make arrangements to return a receiver, contact support@amb-os.com.

Why use Amb-OS over FTP

In our humble expert opinion, the best way for you to obtain broadcasts is via Amb-OS.  It’s faster, more reliable, automatically updates replaced programs and makes sure you get the exact right programs just for you.  (If you’re only using FTP, it’s likely you’ve missed an updated program or two, whereas with Amb-OS, you’ll always get the latest edition.)  Some Amb-OS programs are customized or regionalized for each station which is all the more reason you’ll want to use the AMR-100.
