In January 1984, as part of his new Son Broadcasting Network, Belarmino “Blackie” Gonzalez launched KCHF TV-11 out of Santa Fe, New Mexico, as the first full-powered VHF Christian television station in the United States and the first Christian station in New Mexico. The station has continued to air Christian programming locally and internationally with a reputation for excellence that garnered it the Station of the Year Award in both 2008 and 2000 by the National Religious Broadcasters and William Ward Ayer Distinguished Service Award in 2010. ​ A ministry of excellence in Christian television for almost 30 years, KCHF TV has expanded to cover more than 97% of New Mexico. Programming includes local, national, and international Christian ministries, as well as originally produced programs. KCHF is available OTA (Over the Air), via satellite (Direct/Dish) and can be seen on over 17 cable systems across New Mexico. Additionally, it can be accessed online as well. Mobile app version: 6.21.1
