Our Story
In 1979, a small, abandoned airport hangar on the west side of Lima became the unlikely birthplace of a vision. When founder Ron Mighell first stepped into the empty 70x80 ft. hangar at 1844 Baty Road, he didn’t see crumbling concrete or cold steel—he saw a future broadcast center that could carry the Gospel across Ohio. Volunteers from across the region joined him, transforming the former airfield into a television studio with determination, prayer, and countless hours of labor.
