History

1960s

In 1961, Warren Bolthouse began producing “Teen Time,” a half-hour program produced in the basement studio of he and his wife Char’s home in Jackson, MI. The program aired Sunday mornings on WIBM. Later, he started the “Happy Day Express” program for pre-teens and began producing 20 hours of weekly programming for broadcast on WIBM. Source: https://finneymedia.com/history-radio-part-2/

In April 1966, Bolthouse launched the Family Radio Evangelistic Corporation which would later become Family Life Radio. Broadcast time on WIBM expanded to 12 hours each day from Warren’s basement studio. In December of 1966, a lightning storm torched the station transmitter knocking Christian radio off the air for eight months. During that time, Warren and Char almost lost their home. Ultimately, the transmitter was repaired, and they went back on the air in August 1967. Source: https://www.myflr.org/about/history/

Bolthouse formed a Board of Directors for oversight and protection of the Family Radio Evangelistic Corporation. In December of 1968, he held a fundraiser to gain $24,000 to purchase WUNN in Mason, Michigan. January 12, 1969, marked the first day of broadcasting on the ministry’s first owned and operated station.

1970s

After changing its name to the Family Life Broadcasting System, two more Michigan stations were purchased in 1971 and 1973. Family Life Radio expanded west with stations in Tucson and Phoenix, Arizona, in the late 1970s.

1980s

Family Life Radio’s ministry headquarters was moved from Michigan to Tucson, followed by more station purchases in Albuquerque, Detroit and West Texas

2000s

Family Life Radio continued to grow, adding more signals in New Mexico, Arizona, Kansas, Florida, Georgia, Wisconsin, Tennessee and California. Today, the network has 19 full power stations and 17 translators, covering 11 states with a broadcast reach of more than 17 million listeners.
