history

The work was started in 1976 by a small mission team in collaboration with a Swiss missionary organization and a Bible school and led to the establishment of the station under the name Familienradio in 1980, when the first Christian programs were broadcast from a small apartment in the area around Merano. There was apparently no collaboration with the Evangeliums-Rundfunk at that time. This made the radio station the first Christian station in Italy and one of the first private radio stations in South Tyrol. The station's information leaflet was called Südtirol Team . In 1990 the name was changed to ERF Südtirol and the work was professionalized.
