Overview

American Family Radio is split among two networks – AFR Talk, which airs Christian talk and teaching;^[3] and AFR Hybrid, airing Christian talk and contemporary Christian music.^[3][2][1]

AFR airs original programs such as Today's Issues, hosted by AFA president Tim Wildmon. AFR also airs nationally syndicated programs such as Focus on the Family, as well as contemporary Christian music by various artists. Other personalities heard on AFR include Dr. James Dobson, Dr. Robert Jeffress, David Barton, Jan Markell and Sandy Rios.^[3]

History

AFR was launched by Rev. Donald Wildmon in 1991 as a ministry of the American Family Association, with the flagship station being WAFR in Tupelo, Mississippi.^[4][5] It originally aired a contemporary Christian music format.^[6] Christian talk and teaching programs were also featured.^[7] Eventually, American Family Radio included three networks – Classic Gospel; a Christian AC network; and Inspirational, which included Christian talk and teaching programs.^[5][8][9] In 2009, American Family Radio launched AFR Talk, and most of its stations joined the new network.^[10] The Christian AC network was discontinued at this time.^[10] At its peak, American Family Radio was heard on over 200 stations.^[11]
