"TBN is home to tens of millions of American seeking a quality
television experience," announced Bob Higley, Vice President of
Cable and Satellite Relations. "TBN seeks to do more than merely
entertain. TBN's goal is to inspire people, engage their minds and
encourage their spirit through contemporary, positive programming
that speaks to the heart. "TBN's hit Reality-TV show, "Travel the
Road," is one such offering. It chronicles the adventures of two
idealistic, young missionaries trekking to dangerous and remote
hideaways all over the world. The show spans 18 months, covers 25
countries, and stretches across 40,000 miles. "Travel the Road"
explodes with daring exploits, on-the-edge surprises and incredible
discoveries. Tim and Will undertake unbelievable expeditions,
plunging into the far out and treacherous corners of the globe.
Another popular TBN program is "This Generation." A high-energy
series packed with the latest Christian music videos, it's shot on
location at X-games, super cross motorcycle racing, skydiving
events plus more. Hosted by Curtis Eastman, "This Generation" won
Eastman several coveted 1st place awards in Christian broadcasting.
TBN's family fare provides what scores of American households are
eager to engage in entertainment that's quality matched with
contemporary content that nurtures family values and spiritual
beliefs. With the success of "The Passion of the Christ" still
reverberating throughout Hollywood while viewers increasingly tune
into digital cable as an alternative, it"s not surprising that TBN
has gained favor among new viewers as the family-friendly network.
TBN is taking its success formal and creating other networks such
as its new youth network JCTV," explains Paul Crouch Jr., Vice
President of Administration. "JCTV offers stylish, faith-based,
state-of-the-art programs with dynamic music videos for those 13 to
29. The network features trendy programs that include reality
shows, music videos, and game shows. Also, there are relevant talk
shows, movies, comedy and competitive sports that speak to
America's youth in a language they grab hold of. "There is a mass
audience out there that readily aligns itself with family-friendly
programming," Crouch states. "They applaud it. They return to it.
They tell their friends about it. Indeed, they ask for more." TBN
network planners are up-to-the-minute on viewer response to a
variety of telecasting line-ups. The network stays current with
what's in and what"s out in the general landscape of secular and
Christian programming. By remaining at the forefront of meeting
this contemporary challenge, TBN for over 31 years has stayed
authentic to its spiritual purpose by crafting its high road
prospectus to an audience geared towards experiencing television's
best offerings. TBN offers 24 hours of commercial-free
inspirational programming a day that appeals to people in a wide
variety of denominations. Faith-based programs include gospel music
concerts, informative talk shows, and contemporary music videos.
There are also enriching programs for children, health and fitness
shows, news and information programs, as well as theatrical
released movies and uplifting worship services from America"s
premier churches. TBN now reaches every major continent via 46
satellites and over 10,000 television and cable affiliates
worldwide. In the United States, TBN is available to 92% of the
total households.Related News:
