The Awakening Hour is a ministry of Bible Study Time.

Bible Study Time, Inc. was formed in 1975 as a non-profit organization by Drs. William and Freda Crews. From it’s early beginning, Bible Study Time began broadcasting two radio programs, Truth for Living led by Dr. Freda V. Crews, and The Awakening Hour, led by Dr. William R. Crews. Today, both shows have moved into broadcasting their programs via television. Dr. Freda’s show is now called Time for Hope. Select Religious Broadcasting is a service of Bible Study Time, Inc. and it is currently led by Bill Crews, Jr.
