Adventist Church s Hope Channel debuts on DirectTV
29 Apr 2009, Silver Spring, Maryland, United States…ANN Staff
The Seventh-day Adventist Church's official television network debuted on the DirecTV satellite network today, a move that church leaders say is a chance to minister to millions of additional viewers in North America.
The network, Hope Channel, which features Christian lifestyle programming, is available on channel DirecTV channel 368.
“To have a full time channel, 24/7, sharing God's message of hope into millions of homes is an awesome development,” said Hope Channel director Brad Thorp.
Last month, the church began construction on a new studio, which network executives said would help improve the quality of programming as the network competes in new markets.
