91.7 The Truth is a Christian radio station located in Dallas, Texas. It is owned and operated by Covenant Educational Media (a non-profit entity) and broadcasts on 91.7 FM. As a non-profit, it depends on the listeners for its financial support.
KVTT has been serving the Metroplex for more than 30 years. It was the deep convictions of Eldred Thomas the founder of KVTT to use radio to reach this growing community for Christ back in 1976. He even chose the call letters to express the mission statement of his heart – Keep Voicing The Truth.
From their studios in North Dallas, they carry a variety of teaching programs, talk-format programs, and Praise and Worship music to edify the body of Christ in the church. The “Showcase” program is undoubtedly The Journey with Tom Dooley – a staple on 91.7 for more than 18 years.
They believe that while Christian churches and denominations each have their own style and preferences when it comes to worshipping God, KVTT's role is to be a place where all believers can unite in a common expression of praise.
Since November 2004, 91.7 The TRUTH has operated under the mission of Covenant Educational Media, inc., a 501(c)3 not-for-profit corporation. CE Media also owns and operates 98.5 KAAI in Palisade/Grand Junction, Colorado. Both stations are listener supported, deriving the great majority of their operational support from individual donors. They conduct two annual fund-raisers each year, giving listeners an opportunity to pledge their financial support for our operating needs.
It was announced on June 9, 2009 that Covenant Educational Media will be selling this station to North Texas Public Broadcasting (owners of KERA-TV and FM) for $18 million. Once the sale is complete, a format flip to Adult Alternative will be in the works.[1] It is said to be the biggest single radio station sale in 2009. The 2008 economic downturn, coupled by a shortfall of donations from its "share-a-thon" and an "urgent" fundraiser, led to the sale of KVTT. [2]
