Received a newsletter today announcing the launching of TBN UK; with live taping of Praise The LORD PTL, from their London Studio. Seems talks of this launch have been in the works since 1998. Christian TV programming will be broadcasting on Freeview, and covering England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and Scotland.
Has anyone from the UK viewed Christian programs via television? The newsletter indicated that about 10% of the UK population attends church services. I was recently wondering about that. I am planning on seeing if I can pick it up, as TBN UK will be among almost 30 other TBN Family Networks.
Heard that Freeview is accessible to 98% of the UK population. This launch is costing them about 10 million dollars per year, but European churches have already reportedly began purchasing air time. They consider the United Kingdom a great empire, and worth the investment.
