The network gets its name from the Catholic devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
In October 2016, Immaculate Heart Radio and another Catholic radio network, Relevant Radio, announced plans to merge operations.[1] Relevant Radio's network is based mostly in the Midwest and Northeast. The merger was consummated on June 30, 2017; all the station licenses were assigned to Immaculate Heart Media, Inc., while the Relevant Radio name became the on-air branding for the network going forward.[2]
