Mortenson Broadcasting was an independent media company based in Lexington, Kentucky. Mortenson primarily owned Christian radio stations in several market areas.

Mortenson Broadcasting Company began with the vision of Jack M. Mortenson and his late father, Dr. E. M. Mortenson. After several very successful joint ventures, including the start-up and pastorship of Faith Memorial Baptist Church in Canton, Ohio, Jack re-directed his career to focus exclusively on the development of his network of Christian radio stations after the death of his father in 1970.[1]
