Good News,

TBN Networks, (TBN, Church Channel, JCTV, Smile of a Child and TBN Enlace USA) are now all on one satellite, Galaxy 23. JCTV and The Church Channel were added.
TBN was added in January, 2004. TBN Enlace was added last year, February
2003.  This satellite service is provided by Olympusat. Olympusat has
created a Hispanic package of channels that include TBN Enlace USA on
Galaxy 23 transponder 22. They have also created a package of faith and
family programs that include TBN, Church Channel, JCTV and Smile of a Child on Galaxy 23 transponder 20.

This should help all TBN broadcast stations that are planning to multicast
all TBN digital networks in their perspective broadcast coverage areas.
They can now use one satellite dish to receive all of TBN's digital
networks. The same is true for cable companies. This should make it easier
to obtain distribution.
