Trans World Radio

Trans World Radio

Trans World Radio (TWR) is a multinational Christian evangelistic broadcaster. TWR broadcasts from 14 countries using mediumwave or high-powered AM transmitters, shortwave as well as through local radio stations, cable, satellite, and the Internet to reach millions of people in 160 nations in their own languages (225 languages and dialects).

TWR started in 1952, when Paul Freed set up the organization to reach Spain by broadcasting from Morocco. Later, after TWR was evicted from Morocco, the network operated from Monaco for many years using a high-powered transmitter system abandoned by the Nazis after World War II. Other major transmitting sites include Guam, Bonaire, Sri Lanka, Cyprus, and Swaziland.

TWR's second President, Dr. Thomas J. Lowell, is currently serving as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Interim CEO.

TWR has many programs, some of which are produced by TWR staff, and some of which come from other organizations, such as "Thru the Bible", and "Insight for Living".

The international headquarters for TWR is located in Cary, North Carolina. Staff at the headquarters and throughout the world consists of Americans and Canadians as well as nationals from the various targeted countries.

The UK headquarters relocated from Bath to Manchester in 2006.
