It is split among three networks - AFR Talk, which airs mostly conservative-leaning Christian talk and teaching; AFR Music, which airs contemporary Christian music during parts of the day; and Urban Family Talk, which airs programming aimed at black conservatives.
AFR airs original programs such as Today's Issues, hosted by AFA president Tim Wildmon, and Focal Point, hosted by Bryan Fischer. AFR also airs nationally syndicated programs such as Focus on the Family, as well as contemporary Christian music by various artists.
