Source-derived summary

Radio 74 Internationale is a network of Christian radio stations in the United States, broadcasting Seventh-day Adventist Christian talk and teaching programs as well as Christian music.

History

Radio 74's origins lie in a radio station in France, established in 1982. The first American affiliate was WHHC-LP in New Castle, Indiana, which began broadcasting in 2004, with many other affiliates also signing on that year.

Stations

Many of Radio 74's affiliates are owned by local Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) churches (3ABN supports the mission of the SDA).

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Radio 74 Internationale” as adventist Christian radio network. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1982, 2004—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Radio, Internationale and Adventist can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as adventist Christian radio network. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q17014823. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1982 and 2004.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
