“There is currently very little on television that targets the 13 to 29 year age group in the faith-based program category. Yet, there are contemporary Christian radio stations in every major city and over 330,000 churches in America with thousands of youth groups that do not have their own TV channel to view or identify with. Now, with JCTV, the pent up demand for a national faith-based youth oriented television network can be satisfied”, says Paul Crouch Jr., TBN’s Vice-president of Administration.

The Church Channel is the only network that features some of America’s largest and most popular church service programs 24 hours a day in a wide variety of Protestant and Catholic denominational program formats. Many of America¹s most well-known and respected pastors and church leaders are available on The Church Channel, bringing the best of them to people’s living rooms at more convenient viewing times throughout the week.

The addition of JCTV will help to give young adults in the faith community a compelling reason to subscribe to Covington Cable” said Bob Higley, TBN’s Vice president of Affiliate Sales and Relations, “The Church Channel will appeal to all denominations with its diverse programming, including those that are housebound or not able to attend regular church services.”
