On Dec. 3, Educational Media Foundation celebrated the completion of its new headquarters outside of Nashville.
EMF is the parent company of K-Love and Air1, the largest Christian music radio networks in the U.S. Heard in all 50 states on more than 1,000 signals, it is also among the country’s top 10 U.S.-based audio streamers.
The nonprofit broadcaster began constructing its new global headquarters — located in Franklin, Tenn. — back in 2022, after the company announced it was relocating from Rocklin, Calif. in 2021.
Per an EMF press release, the dedication and ribbon-cutting event on Tuesday drew a crowd of nearly 500 people and featured Christian artists Steven Curtis Chapman and Jon Reddick.
“Tennessee has welcomed us with open arms, and we extend our gratitude to the local community for their hospitality,” said Tom Stultz, EMF interim CEO, in the release. “We are grateful to those who have supported this journey and look forward to utilizing this space to continue sharing the gospel with our audiences across the globe.”
The new 166,000-square-foot facility features 10 studios for live broadcasts of K-Love radio Air1 radio, and AccessMore podcasts. There is also space for the operation of K-Love Books, K-Love Live Events and K-Love on Demand, EMF’s video streaming platform.
“The building also houses several capture spaces where artists and other leaders in the Christian space can create media content,” read the release. “The auditorium, the K-Love Center, is a state-of-the-art live event space where tour rehearsals, concerts and events can be held in support of industry and other community needs.”
