The Family Company Information

Profile

The Family serves to educate, encourage and preserve the family through a Christ-centered contemporary and versatile communications platform. We do that through both radio and online streaming. The Family is owned and operated by The Family Radio Network, Inc. (The Family) a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, founded in 1969. The Family Radio Network, Inc. consists of four stations with 10 signals in Eastern & Central Wisconsin. 91.9 (WEMI Appleton / Oshkosh), 91.5 (WEMY Green Bay), 88.5 (WGNV Wausau / Stevens Point / Central Wisconsin), and 91.3 (WSTM Sheboygan). Originally an outreach of Evangel Community Church in Menasha, The Family became independent in 1969 to more effectively serve the greater Christian community. In the late 1970’s The Family served the community through Christian bookstores in Neenah and Appleton, a graphics and printing company and WEMI-FM. WEMI took to the airwaves on September 9th, 1977 and in March of 1981 WEMI began broadcasting 24 hours a day. WGNV was added in 1991 and WEMY in 1998. In April of 1998, the Christian Family Radio name and logo of the white cross on a blue & green background appeared. In June of 2011, the ministry was renamed “The Family” and rebranded to current green, blue and white logo. - We are listener-focused as we deliver hope and encouragement to everyone who tunes in. - We use a Christ-centered, contemporary, and versatile communications platform. - We minister via radio, online streaming, social media, and community activities. - Constant “changed life” stories from listeners testify to the efficacy of our message. - We walk-the-talk by active involvement in our local communities through community projects. - Our mission statement serves as the filter through which we run everything through.

In 2017, Evangel Ministries, Inc. changed its legal name to The Family Radio Network, Inc. and acquired WSTM in Plymouth, Sheboygan.
