History
Script error: No such module "Unsubst". The station began operations on May 10, 1994. It was built and signed on by Sonlight Broadcasting Systems, a broadcast ministry based in Mobile, Alabama, and co-founded by television producer Paul Crouch Jr. and attorney and broadcaster Jay Sekulow. All of Sonlight's stations were affiliated with TBN, which was co-founded by Paul Crouch Jr.'s parents Paul Sr. and Jan. As a TBN affiliate, WELF carried most of the network's schedule while opting out at times to air alternate programming.
In 1997, WELF was sold, along with the rest of Sonlight's stations, to All American TV (not to be confused with an unrelated television syndication company of a similar name), a minority-owned firm with close ties to TBN;[1] the sale to All American made the station a full-fledged affiliate of the network. WELF became a TBN owned-and-operated station in 2000, when TBN purchased all of All American's stations.[2]
