RenewFM is a network of Christian radio stations in New England, broadcasting Christian music and Christian talk and teaching programs.

History

RenewFM's first station, WRYP, began broadcasting in 2006. In 2009, Horizon Christian Fellowship sold two translators in South Dakota and Iowa to Saga Broadcasting for $35,000. In 2010, Horizon Christian Fellowship purchased WFGL and WJWT from Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa for $300,000. The same year, Horizon Christian Fellowship sold two translators in North Dakota to Leighton Enterprises for $50,000 and a translator in Texas to World Radio Link for $10,000.

In 2021, Horizon Christian Fellowship purchased AM 1000 WCMX from City United Church for $12,000, and became RenewFM's first Spanish-language station. In 2023, Horizon Christian Fellowship purchased a construction permit for a new FM station at 97.3 MHz in Orange, Massachusetts, for $173,000, and also purchased WSJQ in Pascoag, Rhode Island, which it had been operating as a RenewFM affiliate since 2020. Also in 2023, Horizon Christian Fellowship was awarded a construction permit for a new FM station in Narragansett Pier, Rhode Island, after the FCC found that its competing applicant, Radio Sharon Foundation, had engaged in misrepresentations in its application.

Stations

Originally airing on WRYP, RenewFM is heard on 11 full-powered stations in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island, as well as 4 translators.
