Amid relocating its corporate headquarters from California to Franklin, Educational Media Foundation , the parent company of contemporary Christian radio networks K-LOVE and Air1 , has agreed to purchase Salem Media Group-owned competitor Nashville radio station The Fish (WFFH/94 FM.)
Educational Media Foundation agreed to the purchase of a total of four radio stations currently owned by Salem. The stations are in Nashville and Honolulu, Hawaii, and operate in a contemporary Christian format.
A company spokesperson said they expect the transition to be finalized within approximately 90 days.
“We are grateful for the opportunity to grow and keep Christian music flowing over these frequencies,” EMF CEO Todd Woods said in a statement. “These additions increase our coverage in our home market of Nashville and extend to a new audience in Hawaii, aligning with our mission to use media to reach people for Christ.”
This move is not the first purchase by EMF of Salem radio stations.
