Mission Statement:

We are committed to reaching a generation by connecting them with cutting-edge, positive pop and hip hop music, paired with programming that is relevant, authentic, and radically focused on living a life dedicated to Jesus Christ.

Our Purpose:

LF Radio exists to share the message of Jesus with its listeners by finding common ground with them. Our goal is to connect both believers and non-believers to Christ, inspiring a generation of students and young adults to become bold, committed followers of Jesus.

Our History:

LightForce was founded in August 1986 by Michelle Tellone as a 5-hour rock show on Saturday nights, airing on "The JOY FM" network across Florida. The heart and mission of the show were to "reach a generation and connect them to Christian rock music, with relevant programming that was real and radically focused."

In the early 2000s, LightForceRadio.com was launched as an internet-based station, broadcasting 24/7 with the same vision and mission as the original show. Mobile phone apps were introduced in 2009. Although the Saturday night program ended in 2012, the internet station continued to thrive.

In 2018, LightForce rebranded as LF Radio, transitioning to a format that includes pop and hip hop. During this time, HD radio signals were introduced across The JOY FM Network in Florida and Georgia, as well as The Wind Network in Springfield, MO. Despite these changes, LF Radio remains committed to reaching the youth and young adult generation with programming that is relevant, authentic, and radically focused. Today, LF Radio continues to carry the same mission and heart it has had for over 30 years: to impact a generation through Positive Hits and Hip Hop.

God cares about what we listen to and how we spend our time. In a world where much of today’s music can be harmful, we are your source for today’s Positive Hits & Hip Hop.

LF Radio is one of the family of stations incorporated under Radio Training Network (RTN), and is operated for the advancement of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in our listening area and beyond.
