The Mars Hill Network is a network of Christian radio stations in Northern New York, also serving parts of Ontario and Quebec, Canada. The network features a mix of Christian talk and teaching shows and blocks of Christian music. It first began broadcasting on March 9, 1969.

Its flagship station is WMHR (102.9 FM) in Syracuse, New York. All stations are non-commercial and are listener-supported, seeking donations on the air and on its website. The studios and offices are on Makyers Road in Syracuse.

Programming

The Mars Hill Network airs both local and national religious programs. Programs are hosted by James Dobson, Jim Daly, John MacArthur, Erwin Lutzer, Adrian Rogers, J. Vernon McGee, Alistair Begg and Charles Stanley. Updates are provided by SRN News.

In 1991, a station near the Canada–United States border joined the network. WMHI 94.7 FM in Cape Vincent, New York, began serving Jefferson County, near Kingston, Ontario. WMHQ 90.1 FM in Malone, New York, signed on in 2003, serving Franklin County near the border of Quebec.
