Радіо BBN Bible Broadcasting Network

The Bible Broadcasting Network (BBN) is a listener-supported global Christian radio network staffed and headquartered in Charlotte, NC. The programming consists of 50% outside ministries, 30% music and 20% BBN produced programs. The network was founded in 1968 by Lowell Davey (who also serves as the organization's current president) and broadcasts daily prayer times, children's programs, Bible teaching, teen programs, and family guidance programs.[1] The station also plays traditional Christian music including vocalists, choirs, and instrumentalists. BBN's mission statement is "to get the Word of God into the hearts and minds of as many people as possible using the most efficient means." Doctrinally, the programming is evangelical in approach, and somewhat Calvinistic. BBN also avoids programming geared towards "signs and wonders", "charismatic" theology, and "prosperity theology".

On May 28, 1968, BBN president Lowell Davey made an offer to purchase a radio station in Norfolk, Va. "We sense the need of a quality station that is Christian oriented and has quality music, both classical and Christian," he said in a letter. Davey was not able to buy that station, but the idea of BBN was under way. Official incorporation took place about a year later, on March 28, 1969, when BBN bought a radio station that had gone bankrupt and was off the air. "Through several miracles," Padgett said, BBN started with that Norfolk station. WYFI began on Oct. 2, 1971, at 5 p.m.
