Our Approach

You are part of the team

While you may not be able to climb a tower and change a light bulb, or work on a radio transmitter, your prayers and financial support enable us to keep everything going.  Our small staff is able to keep up with the demands of our network of stations, often assisted by volunteers who help on projects.  Like to know more?

What it Takes

When we began broadcasting back in 1990 on one station, WBGW, out of Ft. Branch, IN, little did we know that God would eventually allow us to grow to seven different radio stations...6 FM and one AM.

To keep them on the air requires constant maintenance and attention to a multitude of details.  From towers to transmitters, it all requires that we keep everything well maintained in order to stay on the air.

Our Story

Our Staff

Running a small radio network takes a tremendous amount of time, effort and diligent attention to detail.  When you are On-The-Air 24/7/365, there really is no downtime, and these are the team members that make it work
