“Family Life has been blessed to use its programming to impact lives with the message of hope in many areas of New York and Pennsylvania for nearly 40 years now.  We have developed a relationship with Rick Rambaldo of R Brilliant Media over the past several years.  That relationship has now culminated in the acquisition of The Erie Radio Company’s construction permit for 100.9 FM.  We are extremely excited about bringing our listener-supported programming to a large geographic area along Lake Erie from Dunkirk, NY to Erie, PA and further west! Family Life anticipates having this signal on the air later this year.”
