Faith For Today was launched on WJZ-TV (now WABC-TV) in New York, NY at 9:30 p.m., Sunday, May 21, 1950. The broadcast, founded by William and Virginia Fagal, was owned and fully sponsored by the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
Since its inception, Faith For Today has sought to reach out to the vast and diverse television audiences. By December 1950 it became the first authentically national religious telecast in North America, having spread to an 11-station transcontinental hookup.
