A new Pew Research Center report has found that 25 percent of all AM and FM radio stations in the United States have a faith focus. The report, “Religious Radio Across America,” was conducted by the Pew-Knight Initiative, which supports research on how Americans consume civic information, form beliefs and identities, and engage in communities. For the study, Pew used three data sources including all Federal Communications Commission-licensed terrestrial AM and FM radio stations in the U.S. It took data from around 440,000 hours of audio collected from the internet broadcasts of more than 2,000 religious stations during July 2025.
