RenewFM is a network of Christian radio stations in New England, broadcasting Christian music and Christian talk and teaching programs.
RenewFM's first station, WRYP, began broadcasting in 2006.[2] [3] In 2009, Horizon Christian Fellowship sold two translators in South Dakota and Iowa to Saga Broadcasting for $35,000.[4] In 2010, Horizon Christian Fellowship purchased WFGL and WJWT from Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa for $300,000.[5] The same year, Horizon Christian Fellowship sold two translators in North Dakota to Leighton Enterprises for $50,000 and a translator in Texas to World Radio Link for $10,000.[6] [7]
In 2021, Horizon Christian Fellowship purchased AM 1000 WCMX from City United Church for $12,000, and became RenewFM's first Spanish-language station.[8] [9] In 2023, Horizon Christian Fellowship purchased a construction permit for a new FM station at 97.3 MHz in Orange, Massachusetts, for $173,000, and also purchased WSJQ in Pascoag, Rhode Island, which it had been operating as a RenewFM affiliate since 2020.[10] [11] [12] Also in 2023, Horizon Christian Fellowship was awarded a construction permit for a new FM station in Narragansett Pier, Rhode Island, after the FCC found that its competing applicant, Radio Sharon Foundation, had engaged in misrepresentations in its application.[13] [14]
Originally airing on WRYP, RenewFM is heard on 11 full-powered stations in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island, as well as 4 translators.[15]
