The Covenant Network maintains studios in St. Louis, Missouri, where it owns two AM stations feeding three FM translators. Covenant stations carry EWTN Radio programming as well as network productions and other Catholic radio shows.

History

After looking for stations to buy, Covenant Network began broadcasting May 1, 1997, on WRYT, licensed to Edwardsville, Illinois.[1] After using the Illinois studios acquired from WRYT, Covenant bought a former dance studio on Hampton Avenue in St. Louis[2] and began producing programming. In 1998, Covenant acquired its second station, the former WTIM in Taylorville, Illinois, and renamed it WIHM.[2]

In 2005, Covenant added a second frequency in the St. Louis area when it acquired KIRL in St. Charles, Missouri and relaunched it as KHOJ.[3]

In 2019, Covenant agreed to purchase WQNA in Springfield, Illinois, from Capital Area Career Center for $47,000; Covenant was already heard there on two translators.[4]

Stations
