Air1 is a Christian radio network in the United States, playing Contemporary Christian music. It is operated by the non-profit Educational Media Foundation which also runs K-LOVE, another nationwide Christian radio network. While Air1 leans more toward contemporary hit radio (CHR), K-Love leans more toward hot adult contemporary (Hot AC). Air1 is heard on dozens of its owned and operated stations across 42 states. Some cities which have Air 1 stations include Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Seattle-Tacoma, San Diego, Portland, Phoenix, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Ventura, Thousand Oaks, Kansas City, Virginia Beach-Norfolk, Jacksonville, Pittsburgh and some suburbs of Los Angeles.

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 November 2011, the network lists 90 full powered radio stations and 125 translators of various power levels reaching 40 states.
