Overview
KAJN-CD is a Class A religious independent television station licensed to Lafayette, Louisiana, broadcasting in digital on UHF channel 19 (virtual channel 40). It is owned by Rice Capital Broadcasting Company, Inc., and its repeaters carry identical programming. The station's format is religious independent, meaning it airs faith-based content without affiliation with a major English-language broadcast network. The KAJN brand also encompasses KAJN Radio, a Christian radio station that began broadcasting in 1977. KAJN Radio is owned and operated by Agape Broadcasters Inc, with main offices in Crowley, Louisiana. Its signal originates at the Crowley studios and is transmitted from the TV 3 Tall Tower in Kaplan. The KAJN antenna is 1,600 feet high on the tower, allowing it to reach nearly 2 million people in the Lake Charles, Alexandria, Lafayette and Baton Rouge regions. Through the years, KAJN has maintained its status as one of the leading Christian stations in the country, as indicated by various surveys. Since KAJN FM went on the air, it has broadcast only Christian music and programming. The station remains unique in that it broadcasts teaching programs a portion of the day and music the remainder, whereas many stations today focus on one area or the other. Musically, the genre of artists has changed over the years, moving from country gospel sounds like Teddy Huffam and the Gems and the Hinsons of the early years to Casting Crowns, Jeremy Camp, MercyMe, Katy Nicole and Forest Frank in recent years. "We have a mandate to declare the gospel," says President and General Manager Barry Thompson. "While we are not a church and don't propose to be, we have come alongside the church to help. The miracles over the years are endless, from seeing people saved to seeing marriages restored and hundreds upon thousands of prayers answered." KAJN Radio's website also features local news and community events, such as a motorcycle crash in Opelousas, a SpaceX public meeting in Abbeville, and events like Healing Through the Holidays and a Prayer Conference. The station's contact information includes phone numbers (337) 783-1560, (337) 232-5599, and (337) 433-1322, with mail at P O Box 1469 Crowley, Louisiana 70527, and physical location at 110 West Third St. Crowley, Louisiana 70526.
