K-LOVE is a Family Contemporary Christian music radio network in the United States, operated by Sacramento area based non-profit EMF Broadcasting.[1] The network's flagship station is K-LOVE (94.3FM), licensed to Winchester, Oregon with a transmitter centered in Roseburg. K-LOVE makes heavy use of broadcast translators to spread the signal across much of the country. The K-LOVE station in Wichita (KTLI) - which K-LOVE owners purchased in the early 2000s - serves as the station reporter of monitored airplay by Mediabase 24/7, while the Chicago station (WJKL) is monitored by Nielson Broadcast Data Systems (BDS) whose data is used by Radio & Records. As of November 2006, the network lists 124 transmitters of various power levels (though some may be duplicates). 12% of the network's annual budget is dedicated to "signal expansion and improvement."
K-LOVE plays artists such as Mercyme, Third Day, Steven Curtis Chapman, tobyMac, and the Newsboys, among others. K-Love holds frequent listener telethons and appeals to its listeners to contribute to keep the stations operating.
Air 1, K-LOVE's co-owned network, is generally more upbeat (akin to a Hot AC or Adult Top 40 format).

[edit] History
K-LOVE began as a single radio station, KCLB, in 1982, in Santa Rosa, California as a result of the vision of a former San Francisco disc jockey, Bob Anthony (Fogal) who was later to be involved in the creation of another Christian music radio network, Air 1. In 1988, coverage expanded as the transmitter was moved to a better location following a fire. Encouraged by public support, KCLB become K-LOVE Radio in the same year, and additional stations were opened.[2]
