Boone Biblical Memorial Church was originally called the Gospel Tabernacle. Boone Biblical Memorial Church was built in 2000 on the same location as the Gospel Tabernacle. The original building had to be demolished in 1989 because of structural issues. The church then changed it's name from the Gospel Tabernacle to Boone Biblical Church when it moved to the lower level of Crawford Hall.
The church no longer owns the radio stations. KFGQ AM and FM were owned by California-based World-Wide Missions but have recently been "purchased" for $80,000 by Truth Broadcating Corporation. What a shame! Those two stations remained on the air for 70 some years, new owners Fred and Jamie Johnson have the stations for about 4 years and now they have to be sold...lack of support. I wonder why? Here are more of the details:
Truth Broadcasting Corp. is buying KFFF/1260 and KFFF-FM/99.3 (Boone) from The Faith & Freedom Network, but the sale is unusual in that there is no purchase price. Instead, Truth Broadcasting will assume responsibility for a $20,000 FCC fine against KFFF and pay for operating losses, up to $20,000 monthly, between October and December 2009. The asset purchase agreement states that Truth Broadcasting does not intend to employ any of Faith & Freedom's employees. KFFF AM-FM carries a Christian Talk format. Both stations have fringe coverage of Des Moines, though the AM's signal is a bit stronger in the capital city. Truth Broadcasting is owned by Stuart Epperson of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and owns six stations in North Carolina. The company's Secretary/Treasurer is Nancy Epperson, who holds an interest in Salem Communications. Faith & Freedom Network is owned equally by James Johnson of Stratford, Fred M. Johnson of Boone, E. William Bean of Aguanga, CA, Paul Gugino of West Chester, OH, and Joel Johnson of Tolland, CT. (10/27/2009) | |
Here is some more information on the "Sale".
Boone, IOWA:
The FCC isn't backing down on a $20,000 fine against Boone Biblical Ministries, the former licensee of KFFF/1260 and KFFF-FM/99.3 (Boone), for problems with the stations' public inspection files, including at least twenty missing issues/program lists. The FCC disagreed with arguments that the fine was inconsistent with precendent and that a license renewal application was its first opportunity to disclose the problem and remedial actions taken. Current KFFF AM-FM licensee Faith & Freedom Network is selling the stations to Truth Broadcasting Corp. with the condition that the new owners pay the fine. (12/3/2009)
The stations do now belong to Truth Broadcasting. Call Mr. Chris Rolloff at 515-432-5014 and let him know you are tuning in!
God Bless!
