The world's largest Christian television network has launched a contest in search of quality, independently produced programming that is family-friendly.
The contest is called the "INNOVATE Program Challenge" and involves each of Trinity Broadcasting Network's four digital networks. Entrants could submit programs at the recent Radio-Television News Directors Association meeting in Las Vegas. Submissions can also be mailed to the network's California offices.

The Christian broadcasting entity hopes to "capture the imagination" of its viewers, says a press statement about the contest, and to move past the status quo.
"The stereotype is that Christian television is basically the TV evangelists up there [delivering] fire-and-brimstone preaching, waving the Bible, and asking for your money," says Higley. "We don't believe, at TBN, it's like that anymore -- and with the creation of our digital networks, we're really trying to have something for every member of the family."

"OK, so here's your big chance! What "innovative programming" would you propose for TBN? How about an "American Idol" type competition for the best faith-healer? What about a show like "The Osbournes" (remember? Ozzy and Sharon?), only set around the daily life of Paul and Jan? "

666 – A Jack Bauer-type character works to instigate conditions to bring about the secret rapture and the start of the Great Tribulation through the setting up of the new world order/one world government/ten nation confederacy/global ecumenical church/antichrist seated in Jerusalem all in just 666 hours.
However, after the time is up and nothing happens, he is forced to revise his timeline, write a new edition of his book, find another wife, and explain why things didn’t quite work out as predicted.
(May be too painful to watch in real time.)
Cooking with Moloch
You sure they don't already carry that program on the apostasy network?
If they're looking for innovative...how about something that proclaims the truth, or are they concerned that'll not play well on their middle east programming?
“Donald’s Trumps: Apostle”
Shouldn’t Jan have her own show by now? Praise the Lord and Pass the Makeup
