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 gains favor among new viewers as the family-friendly network.
"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.

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 is usually just televangelists. Its good to know they are adding better programming.
oh yeah I've been watching TBN for 15 years now.
I flip by this channel at least once a day and I never stay with it. It seems to be an endless parade of overly made-up women, perfumed princes with $100 silly hair-doos, all yelling at me, gesticulating wildly and dancing around the stage. On top of this they are always on a set seemingly designed by some drama-queen vamp undertaker. It's just pitiful. Really makes me want to seek Jesus.
The only preacher I've ever seen on TV that I thought had an ounce of credibility was Billy Graham, who I think has tons. The moment I see the caked-on-makeup ladies, or the guys with the insurance salesman suits and bullet-proof hair, I keep clicking. I've had bad luck dealing with born-again Christians who drive caddy's and wear high-end clothes.
TBN is channel usually on in our home.
Great movies.
INSP Channel is the other one as it has the daily Catholic Mass.
TBN has allot of old tv and music stars on it yes even Glen Cambell and Grace Slick. Both living on day at a time to battle their alcholism.
I am very glad to see more freepers are watching TBN.
The Baldwin brother (youngest one) just acted in a movie they had on of the last days and taking the mark of the beast.
I hear he is dedicating his acting to Christian movies now.
Some singers I enjoyed in my youth are now on TBN.
I gave my son flack when he started watching it all the time about a year ago then I got hooked.
Sat night they play the early days of Billy Graham. Wonderful stuff for the soul.
