Hope Media Group and Worship 24/7 Unite

Hope Media Group (HMG) and Worship 24/7 have announced a plan to legally unite in a transaction that is expected to close in early Fall 2025 following FCC approval.

Worship 24/7 launched as an online station only in June 2019, and has has added over the air signals in Portland, OR, Tacoma, WA, Spokane, WA, Bend, OR, Amarillo, TX and four additional signals in Iowa and Georgia. 

The two ministries began partnering in 2023 with Hope Media Group leasing it’s Portland station to Worship 24/7, and expanded last year with Worship 24/7 also airing on additional HMG HD channels and translators in Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, West Palm Beach, and Evansville, IN. 

Under Hope Media Group, Worship 24/7’s terrestrial coverage will expand to additional HMG HD channels in New York, Miami, Denver, and Nashville. It will also complement a growing portfolio of streaming channels HMG offers via KSBJ and WayFM mobile apps.

Hope Media Group CEO Joe Paulo commented, “We’ve seen firsthand how Worship 24/7 fills a hunger for authentic worship in so many people, igniting a deeper passion for God. Combining our ministry efforts makes perfect sense and is an exciting step forward for our Hope Media Group mission. With the powerful atmosphere Worship 24/7 creates daily for its audiences, I know that together we’ll amplify our impact and expand in ways that wouldn’t be possible alone. When we began our partnership, we hoped this is where God would lead it. Now He has, and I could not be more enthusiastic about it.”

David Harms, founder and President of Worship 24/7, added, “Six years ago, Worship 24/7 was an idea in a PowerPoint presentation, and by God’s grace it has grown to 15 FM signals and online listenership in more than 215 countries and territories. Our partnership with Hope Media Group over the last two years has been strong already, and now by coming into the HMG family, Worship 24/7 can keep pace with the rapidly changing media landscape and more effectively spread the hope of Jesus to a world desperately in need of a Savior.”
