Air1 is a U.S. Christian radio network owned by the Educational Media Foundation. The network's stations broadcast a Christian contemporary hit radio format, including Christian pop and rock music. It is a sister network to K-Love, which carries an adult contemporary-oriented Christian format.
In 1986, KLRD began broadcasting Christian music from Yucaipa, California, and went by the on-air moniker K-LORD. In 1994, KXRD was started as a sister station to KLRD. In 1995, K-LORD changed its name to "Air 1" and began broadcasting via satellite from St. Helens, Oregon. In 1999, Air 1 joined with EMF Broadcasting, and finally in 2002, it moved its headquarters to Rocklin, California. Air 1 makes use of broadcast translators to spread the signal across much of the country. As of December 2017, the network lists 123 full powered radio stations and 125 translators of various power levels reaching 43 states.
The current on-air staff of Air1 includes Eric Calhoun and Heather Shelly who host the morning show, Mandy Young in middays, Lauren Lee and Mike Wilson in afternoons and Ashton at night.
