Politics įamily Radio does not discuss politics directly, campaign for political candidates, or endorse candidates or issues. Upon the outset of the second campaign, the organizations assets dropped while contributions simultaneously rose indicating an increased level of spending by the organization, far surpassing the increase in income. In 2007, the year before the start of the 2011 campaign, Family Radio had its greatest level of assets. By the end of 2011 the organizations assets had dropped to $29.2 million, and the next year was forced to take out a $30 million loan. In 2011 contributions fell to $17.2 million and assets dropped to $87.6 million, while the organization also lost 26 employees. In 2010 assets were down to $110 million while contributions rose to $18.7 million while the station maintained 346 employees. IRS records also indicate that Family Radio employed 348 persons in 2009. 2009 saw an annual budget of $36.7 million with $117 million in assets and $18.4 million in contributions.
In 2008, total contributions were well over $15 million. As net assets declined from that point forward, listener contributions steadily increased. Financial strength hit a peak in 2007 when Family Radio reported $135 million in assets. With a growing national profile, the financial viability of the non-profit also grew. Yet, from 1994 to 2009, it grew at an even faster rate than before by the time of his second campaign, the organization boasted 216 AM and FM radio stations, along with two television channels. He then grew his broadcast empire so that by 1994 Family Radio comprised forty radio stations nationwide. In 1958, Camping sold his construction business and, with the funds, purchased KEAR-FM in San Francisco. The listenership of Family Radio understandably declined after the failed 1994 prediction, but before long the organization was growing at a rate much higher than it had previously experienced. Outside programming broadcast over the Family Radio network was limited as Camping considered the organized church apostate, and therefore devoid of God's Spirit and under Satan's control. Support įamily Radio relies solely on listener-supported funding and donations, and is unaffiliated with any religious denomination. Some of these ministries were reluctant to allow their programs to air on Family Radio until Harold Camping's programs no longer aired. Family Radio also has broadcast programs and features from outside ministries, including Answers in Genesis, hosted by Ken Ham, as well as teaching programs hosted by James Montgomery Boice, Donald Barnhouse, John F. Other programs that have aired on Family Radio over the years include the morning programs Rise and Rejoice and The Christian Home Family Bible Reading Fellowship, a half-hour Bible reading program Radio Reading Circle, featuring readings of Christian books the overnight program Nightwatch Echoes, which features recordings of sermons delivered by pastors from churches around the world) Music to Live By, an afternoon program the nighttime program The Quiet Hours Family Bible Study and Beyond Intelligent Design. The program was finally cancelled not long after Camping's third failed "rapture-less" prediction and a stroke which he suffered in June 2011. One of Family Radio's oldest broadcasts was a telephone-talk program called Open Forum in which Harold Camping, the network's co-founder, president and general manager, responded to callers' questions and comments, as they relate to the Bible, and used the platform to promote his various end-time predictions. Contemporary Artists being mixed in range from John Michael Talbot, Steve Green, Christine Wyrtson, to Casting Crowns, Mercyme, Chris Tomlin, among others.
In the past year, though, softer Contemporary Christian Music from recent years has been added and mixed in with the traditional music. At some points they played small amounts of very light Christian songs from the 70's, but they avoided anything even moderately contemporary, even softer songs within that genre. For decades, Family Radio avoided any types of Contemporary Christian Music and only played traditional. Family Radio's music programming consists mainly of traditional Christian hymns and other genres within Christian music.
