On May 28, 1968, Lowell Davey, President of the Bible Broadcasting Network, made an offer to purchase a radio station in Norfolk, Virginia . As he stated in that letter, "We sense the need of a quality station that is Christian oriented and has quality music, both classical and Christian. We are, therefore, in the process of looking for the availability of such a station." That was the beginning of the Bible Broadcasting Network. Lowell Davey was not able to purchase that station but official incorporation took place about a year later on March 28, 1969 , when BBN purchased a radio station that had gone Bankrupt and was off the air. BBN began broadcasting on this station in Norfolk, VA. on October 2, 1971 at 5:00 in the evening. BBN's Purpose Simply stated, BBN's purpose is to get God's Word into the hearts and minds of people using the most efficient means. For BBN, radio is not a business; it is a ministry. They believe the programming must be warm, friendly and informative and must present the Truth . The microphones of the Bible Broadcasting Network are considered sacred to many Evangelical Christians . In line with this purpose daily Prayer times, children's programs, Bible teaching, teen programs, and family guidance programs are regularly broadcast. The U.S. BBN now owns and operates over 30 full power stations and over 100 low power stations in 29 different states.
