Christian radio station UCB expands onto small screen

BRITAIN'S pioneering Christian radio station United Christian Broadcasters (UCB) launched UCB TV on the Astra Digital Satellite platform on 30th January. The station is broadcast throughout the United Kingdom and Ireland on channel 677. Much of the programming now being shown on UCB TV has never been seen on UK Christian television before, nor is it being seen anywhere else.

John Green, UCB's TV Broadcasting Manager, said, "Christian television throughout Europe has tended to be saturated with programming drawn from a narrow denominational base. Some evangelical churches have been unable to present the gospel as they would like, others have waited until the right platform arrived, one that they could align themselves with. UCB TV is that platform, a Christian television station thoroughly committed to reaching the people of the UK and Ireland with the gospel message." UCB TV is now the eighth Christian satellite TV station available in the UK and joins The Vision Channel (202), GOD Channel (671), GOD 2 (672), Wonderful (673), TBN Europe (674), Christian TV (675) and Revelation (676). CR
