HistoryFor more than 26 years, Salem has successfully reached audiences interested in Christian and family-themed content and conservative values. Ed Atsinger (Chief Executive Officer) and Stu Epperson (Chairman of the Board) began shaping their strategy of super-serving the Christian market as they combined their radio assets to create Salem Communications. Beginning with stations in North Carolina and California, Atsinger and Epperson furthered their business interests purchasing station properties in Boston, San Antonio, New York, San Francisco, Portland, Los Angeles and other key markets converting them to flourishing Christian talk stations. In the 1990s, they expanded beyond Christian Teaching Talk, successfully rolling out formats featuring Contemporary Christian Music, News Talk, Spanish-language Christian and most recently, business programming.SpecialtiesSalem Communications is a radio broadcaster and media company specializing in christian and family friend content.
