MY'STORY

The MOVE Fire

This is a personal recollection on the Move fire on May 13, 1985 Philadelphia police fired thousands of rounds at the MOVE house, city officials approved dropping an explosive device on the roof, the resulting fire was allowed to burn, 11 people—including five children—died, and 61 homes were destroyed. Philadelphia City Council later called it a “brutal attack carried out by the City of Philadelphia on its own citizens” and acknowledged that no individual faced criminal consequences for the bombing. One timeline correction worth preserving for the BHP record: the major previous MOVE-police confrontation was August 8, 1978, about seven years before the bombing, not a year or two earlier. Officer James Ramp was killed, other police and firefighters were wounded, nine MOVE members were later convicted, and television cameras recorded police beating Delbert Africa during his arrest. The 1985 MOVE Commission later specifically criticized city planners for failing to adequately use lessons from that 1978 confrontation. And that actually strengthens the point you’re making: 1985 did not happen without precedent or institutional memory. There had already been a deadly confrontation with MOVE, years of conflict, negotiations and police involvement before Osage Avenue.

History

[edit]

KAWZ began broadcasting on April 3, 1988 (Easter Sunday), with Pastor Mike Kestler as its founder.[5][6][7] The network was launched on April 26, 1995, broadcasting Christian radio over satellite from KAWZ in Twin Falls.[1] The first satellite-fed translator to begin receiving the network from KAWZ was in Yucca Valley, California, and within six months the network had dozens of translators.[1][5] It was originally known as the Calvary Satellite Network.[5]

By 1999, the network had grown to include 153 stations and translators,[8] and by 2004, it had grown to approximately 400 stations and translators across the United States.[9]

In 2007, an agreement was reached between the Twin Falls, Idaho, based network and parties associated with Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa where the Twin Falls, Idaho, based network kept 424 of the network's 457 stations and translators, but could no longer use Calvary Chapel branding.[10][11] Most of the stations received by the parties associated with Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa were sold to the Calvary Radio Network the following year.[12]

Programming

[edit]

National religious programs heard on CSN include: A New Beginning with Greg Laurie, Jay Sekulow Live, Family Talk with James Dobson, Love Worth Finding with Adrian Rogers, Thru the Bible with Dr. J. Vernon McGee, The Urban Alternative with Tony Evans, Truth For Life with Alistair Begg, Washington Watch with Tony Perkins and Turning Point with David Jeremiah.[13]

Board members

[edit]

Board members of the CSN International, Inc. (CSN Radio), are Pastor Mike Kestler and Ariel Kestler. Mike Kestler is pastor of The River Christian Fellowship, a nondenominational church in Twin Falls.[14]

Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
