Delilah Launches On American Forces Network

Premiere Networks announced Monday that Delilah, the most-listened-to woman on radio, has joined the American Forces Network (AFN).

Effective immediately, Delilah now airs weeknights at 7 p.m. in Japan, Korea and Central Europe on AFN RADIO's Today's Best Hits Adult Contemporary channel.  The announcement comes on the heels of Delilah’s induction into the National Radio Hall of Fame on November 17.

The top-rated show featuring Delilah's distinctive blend of story-telling, sympathetic listening and encouragement – all scored with adult contemporary music – is now available to 400,000 American service men and women, Department of Defense civilians and their families stationed at bases and American Embassies and Consulates in 175 countries and 200 U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard and the U.S. Navy's Military Sealift Command ships at sea.

“It will be a very merry Christmas this year for our U.S. military serving overseas as they listen to Delilah weeknights on AFN RADIO wherever they are,” shared Scott E. Stover, Radio Director for the American Forces Network.   “We’d like to thank Delilah and Premiere Networks for partnering with AFN RADIO to serve those that serve so far from home during the holidays.”

Since World War II, AFN has enjoyed the generous support from all major broadcast networks, syndicates, public radio services, and individual stations and program producers throughout the U.S. AFN RADIO programming originates at the American Forces Network Broadcast Center in California.

There are 12 different, full-time AFN RADIO satellite services and 10 AFN360 streaming channels distributed to overseas AFN affiliates, base cable TV systems, and AFN Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite dish users. Three of the AFN RADIO satellite services are available to U.S. Navy ships deployed.
