Liberty University’s WRVL/Lynchburg (88.3 The Journey) is celebrating its 10th anniversary by honoring God’s faithfulness and the impact of the Gospel through its broadcasts. The station carries on the legacy of founder Dr. Jerry Falwell’s “Old-Time Gospel Hour” and also airs Liberty Flames Football games.
Falwell started the first campus radio station, The Victory Network, in 1981. The Victory Network remained a prominent part of the LU community for over 30 years, primarily broadcasting teaching and preaching programs, before its evolution into The Journey.
The Journey staff held an anniversary celebration on Saturday at the Liberty Mountain Conference Center, with current and former radio staff, university leadership, and longtime listeners and supporters sharing how the station has positively impacted their lives and countless others.
