HOW IT ALL BEGAN…
In 1925, a young pastor named Charles E. Fuller saw vast possibilities
in the new invention called “radio”. He soon resigned
from his pastoral responsibilities to give his full time to
radio evangelism. On October 3, 1937 the Old Fashioned Revival
Hour aired its first broadcast over the 13 stations on the Mutual
Network
In 1941 Fuller’s nationwide broadcast was moved from a
Hollywood studio to the Long Beach Municipal Auditorium where
thousands of servicemen, in route to the Pacific during World
War II, attended the broadcast. Dr. Fuller and his OFRH musicians
traveled throughout North America, holding citywide rallies
that were often broadcast live.

By 1951the OFRH was heard over the ABC radio network that
circled the globe through 650 radio stations.
Dr. Charles E. Fuller and his associates of the Old Fashioned
Revival Hour appeared in the Long Beach Municipal Auditorium
for the last time on January 12, 1958 and later moved the
program to a Hollywood recording studio for a 30-mintue broadcast.
Dr. Fuller’s last broadcast was on December of 1968,
and he went home to be with the Lord that same year.
